As of yesterday Sam now weighs an exceptable 4.74kg (10lb 7oz) – my he’s getting big! Does anyone know of a way to stop him growing up so fast?

Today Sam and I went to our first proper baby/toddler group and are much relieved to have met some very friendly mums in the nearby area at last. I was very nervous beforehand, but I’m so glad that I went along as it was really nice to get out of the house and chat to some more experienced mums about what I’ve got in store in the near future.

Now I had best go back to baking flapjacks – wish me luck!
