breastfeeding clothes Dear Family, I am two months old today. I am so big already! Last Saturday I weighed 5.3 kg, that is nearly 2 kg more than when I was born. The layers of fat are piling on, yay! My parents call me Little Boudha. Two weeks ago, Grandma Anne left Beirut to return to Brussels and I was really sad that she left. She helped my mum and dad so much when I was born, she saved me from the chair when I did not want to stay there and she showed my mum how to wash me and take care of me. She made lots of toys and clothes for me. I love them all, especially the two monkeys, the ladybug on the cube d\'eveil and the mobile on my chair. I also like the knitted hand-puppet with the big black eyes. He is French speaking. Anyway, my Grandma Anne was wonderful!. I will see her soon though so I look forward to that. Lots has happened since I was one month old. I hold my head up for a long time now. I coo and make noises trying to talk to mum and papa\'. I am so strong on my legs and love to stand up straight while being held. I also sleep through the night, waking up once around 3am for a midnight snack, yummy. Two days ago I smiled while in the bath, it was the first time. My mummy received by post from the US a Moby Wrap, which she uses mainly at home and when she goes out. I love it so much I fall asleep instantly in it. Sometimes, I cry in the evenings which is normal for my age. My parents have discovered that by switching on the vacuum cleaner, I instantly stop crying and relax. Here is a photo of my papa\' and I next to the hoover. My parents have also decided to give me the bath in the evenings after dinner so it distracts me from crying! And I have to make a major public announcement: I poo regularly each morning and mid-morning as of a few days ago! My Grandpa calls me a \"pooping machine\". My mum is very happy about that although she does regret somewhat those days I was pooing every 7 days, much less nappies to wash! My Grandpa Alan arrived in Beirut last week to visit me. He brought me lots of things from Australia, such as Australian t-shirts for when I am one or two, a bush shirt for my future adventures in the bush and some interesting fury animals like a bird called Kookaburra (which sings when you press it), a Kangaroo with its baby in the pouch and a Walabi dressed in rugby clothes! Grandpa helped my mum this week by staying with me while she went to various appointments like a physiotherapist for her back (she gets pain in her back from breastfeeding and carrying me all the time) and the dentist. I just sleep on Grandpa while he paces the corridor of the hospital or the streets of the neighbourhood near the dental clinic (It is cold these days in Beirut so I wear my woolen hats that Grandma Anne knitted for me). I smile at him each morning. He tells me about our future safaris in South Africa, I can\'t wait! I will have the opportunity to see a Zebra in real life (btw, I love the Zebra on my wall, I look at him all the time). Anyway, here are some recent photos of me. Love Mathilde xxx
