We are just back from our first holiday! Mummy and Daddy took me to Center Parcs with another family for the week. I had a lovely time - I swam, slept, did lots of walking and even fitted in a game of tennis with Mummy and Daddy! I really really enjoy swimming and loved the wave machine!

Mummy and Daddy have both been poorly but have started to feel better with Lemsips? Mummy took me to Hyde Park yesterday with The Davis family. We saw Santa again and went ice skating. We were also going to go to Harrods but Mummy had to get back for more Lemsip!? Gransie and Granpops came over last night as Daddy was still in bed and Mummy needed to get Charlie walked, Granpops said he would take us to Harrods for a day out...can't wait!

Hope you are all well? Merry Christmas to everyone if I don't see you?

Well I went swimming with my Mummy and Daddy and I absolutely loved it. I had a big yellow rubber ring which I sat in and kicked around and around in....it was fun watching all the boys and girls splash around having fun! I didn't mind getting splashed and thought the whole experience was good fun! We were in the pool for about half an hour and then I got a little cold, I think all the excitement wore me out and I passed out almost straight away from getting out of the pool...I slept really well last night, in fact I sleep (Mummys touching wood) every night

Have a good week and be in touch

Well I am now 9 weeks and 3 days, I laugh alot now and love smiling at Mummy and Daddy! I have been at my first wedding and have visited late night shopping in my home town. Life is always very busy and Mummy and I spend most days shopping, having coffee seeing my friends, I think we are going swimming for the first time this weekend...can't wait! Mummy and Daddy have bought me my rubber ring and pink frilly swimming knickers!! :-)

Hope you are all well?

Love Betty-Mae

Mummy and Daddy can't believe that I am already 7 weeks old on Tuesday 11th November. They have already been dressing me up in my witches outfit for Halloween, and various other combinations....mind you I have so many clothes, if I don't get to wear them soon I will have grown out of them I think!

I am STILL meeting my new friends, it has been overwhelming the amount of people I have met. Everyone is so nice though so it is always an enjoyable time when my new friends come round to see me...

On the 5th November, my friends Darcy, Taylor, Tracey and Gavin came over. Darcy helped bath me and put me to bed. Mummy then tells me they had fireworks in our back garden...I was to tired and probably to little to stay up for them....next year maybe?!

I think we are gearing up for Christmas now....must write  my Father Christmas letter!!! (I bet I get dressed up like Santa!!! ;-) ha ha ha)

Bye for now friends.....xxxxxxxx

Today I saw Uncle Steve finish the Henley half marathon. He looked fit and ready to take on New York in 2 weeks! I was with Mummy, Daddy, Charlie, Gransie and Grandaddy. We also had panini's in Bloc and a Pint in the Bottle and Glass!

Betty-Mae was born at Reading Royal Berkshire Hospital on 23rd September at 9.55am. Emma-Jane and Nigel are over the moon with their bundle and think she is the best thing ever. She sleeps amazing well and feeds like a pac man!

The midwife weighed her on her 10th day and she has put on 9ounces which is apparently fantastic. She has been discharged from midwife care and is now being looking after by the Health Visitor. She will make sure she gets the right assessments, treatments, injections necessary to start her life...

Mum and Dad would like to THANK everyone for their kind presents, cards, words and love. Betty-Mae is already very well looked after by her family and friends and she can't wait to meet you all...
