The Life of Matthew

I can’t believe it’s been a month since my last post. Time really flies when you’re a little boy learning so many new things.

Check-Up

Last Friday I had my 15 month check-up. The doctor was happy with my development. I wasn’t happy with my doctor. The minute I say her I started screaming and crying and hardly stopped for the whole visit.

Mind you, I had plenty to cry about: I had two injections, one for meningitis and the big one, MMR. I’m sure you remember all the fuss a while ago about the possible link with the MMR vaccination and autism? (I don’t - I wasn’t born but Mummy and Daddy were talking about it). When Mummy and Daddy raised their fears with my doctor she said everything was fine and that there was no link at all. So that’s OK then.

For the record I now 12.06kg weigh and am 83.5cms tall. A big boy although the doctor said another kilogram wouldn’t hurt. Daddy said that chips are now on the menu! (Mummy said they’re not).

Being Sick

Not connected with the vaccinations (I hope), I had my first bout of sickness last night. I don’t know what caused it but being sick is fun! I can get the stuff everywhere!

The first time I managed to be ill all over myself and my bedding. Even though it was 2.40am I was very impressed with Mummy and Daddy’s reaction time. Within seconds of the first unusual sound they were up and by my side. After changing me and my bed clothes I was having a snuggle with Daddy when I was sick again; this time over me and Daddy’s trousers (I somehow missed his top). After getting changed again it was decided that Mummy would go back to bed and Daddy would sit up with me as Mummy had to go to work early but Daddy could go back to bed later. The third time I was sick I managed to keep it off myself. Unfortunately I can’t say the same for Daddy’s top!

That seemed to be it for the rest of the night and I went back to bed at 5:00. An hour before Mummy and Daddy had to get up again. Being sick didn’t bother or upset me at all and I don’t seem to have any other symptoms. Maybe I eat something funny last night (Mummy was cooking after all)!

Until next time, bye bye.
