Sam excited to be able to tell you that he now weighs a substantial 5.79kg (12lb 12 oz).
Sam is shown on the left modelling his new baby hat that was very kindly made for him by one of Rich’s mum’s friends. I’ll try and get a better shot of him in it soon for you as he looks so cute in it (but for some reason also reminds me slightly of ‘Ming the merciless’…)
Sam is happy to be able to inform you that he now weighs an impressive 5.37kg (11lb 13 oz).

Fidget update:
Rich and I have been pretty worried about Fidget recently – last week she seemed to be twisted with her head tilted to one side and she fell over a lot. Because of being snowed in we didn’t take her to the vet and she seemed to recover on her own. However, on Monday night Rich saw Fidget having some sort of fit so on Tuesday we both took her to the vets expecting to hear the worst. Thankfully the vet seems to think that Fidget has an inner ear infection which is hopefully going to clear up after a week of antibiotics (if only she would drink it – naughty hamster!)
In other news I tried another yoga class last night and found it to be much better than the one I went to a couple of weeks ago. Hopefully after a few months of yoga I’ll be in much better shape and maybe even be able to squeeze myself into my old clothes again!
Sam’s latest weigh in results are just in and I’m happy to tell all you eager readers that Sam has reached a total weight of 5.7kg (11lb 3oz).
Yesterday Sam and I wandered round to visit a local friend for lunch. Being a lady of leisure is starting to have some advantages – I think I quite like being able to meet up with a friend to eat some very tasty chinese chicken followed up with a slice of rich chocolate cake. Sam was very well behaved and cooed happily while us ladies chatted away and after being much admired he had a quick nap on a bean bag. More trips out like this would be fantastic – anyone interested in inviting us round?
In the evening I tried out a new yoga class but unfortunately was a little disappointed by the style (a bit more mystical than I’m comfortable with) and found the teacher to be slightly useless. Hopefully I’ll find a decent class that I can join soon as I really need to start getting back in shape as I’m so tired of wearing maternity clothes and at some point in May I need to fit into a dress again…
Sam is happy to inform you that he now weighs a moderate 4.87kg (10lb 11oz).
Sam is shown here modelling his new play mat – if he looks confused it is because he is wondering why his nose has started squeeking when his mum or dad presses it – poor lamb.
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!
Rich and I took Sam off to the Health Centre on Christmas Eve so that we could get an update on what his weight is currently.
We are very happy to report that he weighed in at an impressive 4.46kg (9lb 14 oz) – quite an impressive weight gain in just a week.
Sadly this means that Sam is now too large for most of his baby clothes so hopefully Santa will bring him some new threads otherwise we’ll have a naked baby crawling about the place…
For all those interested in Sam’s weight gain I thought I would start posting about it here. I’ll also try to include a new picture of Sam to make it more interesting.
Drum roll please…
Sam is now at the grand weight of: 4.12kg!
