The Life of Matthew

Last Tuesday I went for my ten month check-up (sorry about the delay in telling you but I’ve been very busy).

There were no injections (hooray) but apart from the normal prodding and poking my doctor asked Mummy and Daddy lots of questions to see how I am developing. She asked things like can I sit up by myself (yes), do I react to my name (yes), can I crawl (sort of), do I understand things (yes), do I react to strangers (yes - I don’t like them) etc.

After all of the questions and examinations my doctor pronounced me “a perfect baby” and that I was “very intelligent.” This made Mummy’s day, week, month and she spent the day looking very chuffed.

For the record I now weigh 11.15kg and am 77.5cm tall. A very big baby for my age but perfectly proportioned!

The picture shows me playing in a little paddling pool that helps me cool down in the hot weather. I like splashing a lot.

Until next time, bye bye.
