discover the joys of breasty milk, a clean nappy, regular
baths and lengthy naps. |

fun begins.

first time. I discover there is a world outside my house.

startling realisation. |

Along
with big beautiful eyes and a cute face, I had inherited
a partially tongue-tied frenulum (Ankyloglossia) from
my Daddy. This tongue tie was stopping me from breast
feeding properly. Today I had a minor operation at Southampton
General Hospital to correct this problem. Now I
can stick my tongue out at the world!

more information about Ankyloglossia, click here. |

Two
things happened today:
- I
had another round of immunisation shots. These were
the second booster set for DTP-Polio-Hib and Meningococcus
Group C. Again, Mamma was very proud of me because
I didn't cry too much.
- My
Bumbo has arrived!

Remember
those jabs I had on 9 February? I had the second round
today. Mamma said that I was very brave and I didn't scream
too loudly. |

set up my electronic baby gym on Saturday night. It's

February 2005 |
I
had my first set of injections. One of them was for
DTP-Polio-Hib (Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis, Polio,
and
Haemophilus Influenza B) - all in one injection. The
other injection was for Meningococcus Group C. I was
very brave and I only let out a blood curdling cry for
about a minute. Mamma and Daddy were expecting a performance
similar to one I make for bathtimes! |

January 2005 |
It's
hard enough being a baby without lots of things really,
really upsetting me. Little things like hunger, dirty
nappies and bathtime. Daddy and Mamma are
trying their best but they aren't perfect. Yelling at
them seems to help get the job done slightly quicker.

Daddy
has been busy again on my website! Yesterday I went
outside with my parents for the first time. Admittedly
it was a trip to buy food for Christmas, but at least
I got to try out my new pramette. More...
Also,
Daddy has been comparing my facial features with his
when he was my age. Parents, eh? They're weird! More...

Daddy
went to the Registry Office in Reading today for me.
I now have a birth certificate that says that my name
is Giulia Margaret Barton. Mamma and Daddy can now open
my bank accounts and get a passport for me. |
