17.5 lbs & keeping busy while Daddy away

I took Maximus to get weighed last week and he is now 17.5 lbs and is growing steadily and healthily. The health visitor was very impressed that he was sitting so confidently on his own and said he was the picture of a healthy, happy baby. :)

While Callum was away for E3 the other week, Max and I kept ourselves busy with lots of family visits including...

...a trip to Grannie and Grandad's for lunch (here having a cuddle with Noo Noo)

...a teatime visit to Aunty M and of course lots of time with Sally and Jack. On this day Max was having a bit of a nasty time with his teething (still none through yet) but turns out a snuggle with Grannie is pretty good medicine.

We also looked after the Robins girls while Smart and Cara went to the theatre and we had a lovely time with them chatting, helping with homework and getting ready for bed.

This fantastic stripey Grobag is one of my favourite hand-me-downs from Jack. I love it.
