The Life of Matthew

I had my seven month check-up yesterday and I’m pleased to report that this time there is nothing to worry about and everything is fine. I haven’t put on a lot of weight this month but the Doctor said that as I’m such a big baby there is no problem.
The usual poking, prodding and injections […]

Well! Here’s something to prove that Mummies and Daddies know best.
I haven’t really been taking to the whole weaning thing very well. After my initial enthusiasm for my first carrots I haven’t been all that keen on the whole idea and I really didn’t like chicken. Yuk!
Now, from the very beginning, Mummy and Daddy didn’t […]

We saw the doctor and everything is OK. It was as Mummy suspected and I have Benign Hydrocephalus and not the more serious Hydrocephalus. The doctor said that by the time I’m 18 months or so my head size will be in proportion to the rest of me if my expected growth rate continues as […]

Today is the day that I start weaning and here I am having my very first taste of something that isn’t milk. It’s carrot purée! Lovingly made by Daddy (home made stuff for me apparently), I’ll be having carrot for four days before I try something new. The idea is to see if I react […]

What a horrible day I’ve just had.
This morning I went for my blood test. I don’t like having injections so I cried for a bit. I also came out in red spots on my arm. The injection lady said that this was quite normal but that Mummy and Daddy should mention it to my doctor. […]

Went to see my baby doctor today for my six months check up. All of the usual things happened; I got poked and prodded and had two more innoculations. I was a lot calmer this time round because Daddy asked the doctor if she look leave checking my ears until last as I really hate […]

We all had to go and see the specialist in Olot today for a check up on my colitis as it’s been nearly two months since Mummy stopped drinking milk. The doctor looked at my “poo chart” (Mummy and Daddy keep a record of my poos to see if they contain blood or mucus).
Although there […]

Mummy has just noticed that I am getting teeth. I was happily lying in her arms, ready to drop off to sleep, when my mouth opened and there they were. My middle bottom teeth are the ones on their way, lower central incisors for those of you who like the scientific stuff. Apparently this explains […]

Today I’m five months old. Mummy and Daddy were saying that it seems longer than five months since I’ve been around. In fact, they feel as if I’ve been part of their lives forever. In a nice way!
To celebrate the occasion, yesterday I was taken to the doctor’s for my five month check up. As […]

Apparently the whole Christmas thing is over now so it’s time to get back to my blog. Mummy is even back at work. I don’t like that at all!
Anyway, Mummy, Daddy and I went to see the specialist that the doctor recommended just before the New Year. He was very nice and he spoke English […]
