It's been a while since the last blog, the two main reasons for this are that Daddy has been busy away at work and also the fact that our Broadband was down for a few days.

Daddy is finding it difficult being away from Maisie - some days he leaves for work before Maisie wakes up and there are also days when Maisie is already in bed when Daddy gets home.

"Daddy this is one of the best present you've given me"

I guess that's another reason why there's been a delay in the blog - Daddy's not seen Maisie so has nothing to write about. Who'd have thought the day would come that Daddy wanted Maisie to wake up early.

Daddy still sneaks into Maisie's room and reads her a story - being careful not to wake her as Mummy wouldn't be very happy.

"That's my mouth full!"

As you can see Maisie is still eating well. We aren't sure how much she weighs and Maisie wasn't too happy with the way Zach tried to find out;

"really Zach? I thought that this was for pigs!"

Uncle Matthew and Aunty Alison were over from Italy, Maisie was glad to see Alison but couldn't quite cope with the mustache that Matthew was growing for Movember.  

"Please don't make me look at Uncle Matthew" 

It was a busy weekend, next on the agenda was a visit to see Aunty Eleanor and Uncle Carl.

Not sure that Maisie should be left alone with Uncle Carl look at the mess, and what's that Maisie's playing with; 

"Uncle Carl - this is the biggest box of matches I've ever seen!"

Maisie wasn't feeling well this week - a chest infection required a trip to the doctors for some antibiotics. Maisie chest wasn't very good at all, very wheezy and rattlely. 

Maisie got comfort from her bottle

It was touch and go whether Maisie would need a visit to the hospital. Still being on oxygen at night gave Maisie a helping hand and as Maisie is getting bigger and stronger she fought off the infection after a few days. 

and was soon back to enjoying herself

Maisie and Megan are getting closer and closer each day - they seem to be helping each other get over their separation from their Dad. 

Inseparable!

Maisie was back at the Childrens Development Centre after a wee break for half term. You may remember that Maisie went up a class as she is becoming a big girl.



It was a big day for Mummy as Maisie took the bus to the centre. This was Maisie's first trip without any of the family since her Glasgow trip when she was only weeks old.

"faster, like Daddy please Mr Bus driver!"

Maisie got a wee bit upset on the journey there when she eventually realised that Mummy wasn't on the bus, she also got a wee bit upset as lunch time and didn't want to sit with anyone so sat at a wee table on her own.

Overall though it was a successful trip and Maisie had a great time - she can't wait until her next visit.

Maisie missed Zach last week as he was away on a holiday last week -she made sure that he made up for it with lots of games and stories;

Zach stuck reading books for Maisie

With Daddy back at work and away two nights Maisie was really miserable and even off her food; 

"bring on breakfast!"

"mmm, I love lunchtime"

Maisie is sleeping better this week although she has her oxygen back on. It's a shame but worth it for everyone to get a good nights sleep.

and still eating...........

"what shall we do next?"

"if Daddy could see me now"

"I love it when Nanny McT takes me to the park"

Maisie missed Daddy almost as much as he missed her;

"Daddy gets home and this is how he dresses me"
