Im wearing pink but dont tell anyone

P is for Piglet and for Auntie Bex!

Now which of the seven dwarfs do I look like today?

Rudely awoken at lunchtime

Ive been on my best behaviour this week with Granny Moo visiting and wanting to make a good impression. But Mummy and Daddy needn't worry because this is a temporary glitch in my behaviour and I will be back to normal when she leaves. It means that I have only been crying when I am very, very hungry. Even so I don't think that they realise how important this is........sometimes they even laugh at me when I am wanting my food. So I am working on building myself up as much as possible in case there are any more of these food supply hiccups.

I thought that being a bit early, I should be a bit smaller than other babies. But when I appeared at a party being held in my honour (not sure what Kristy's birthday cake was for?), I found out that this is not true. In fact I was bigger than other babies my age and so that makes me the Daddy O' Baby of Seoul. 'Specially my thighs as I am now onto my second crease. As a matter of fact, I am aiming for the thigh crease world record that stands at an impressive five. I think that I can do it as I have time on my side.

Last night I took everybody out to a very smelly restaurant. They thought that I was asleep, but I was just really bored of their silliness, so I made sure that Mummy got home safely and earlier than the others. I am not sure what they were having but it didn't look too good to me and I think that they would each have had terrible wind. I can sympathise with them on that front.

Slightly nervous as it is Hallowe'en this week and I am sure that they will be planning some dreadful costume for me - stay posted!

Jasper's money pose

Jasper's first stomach investigation complete with spotty bum!
Barny was worried that Jasper was becoming too 'Kiwi-fied' so thank you Miles and V for addressing this issue!

Jasper is concerned that his next feed will be late 20/10
aahh just loving life!
You have to admit, it has been 5 weeks and no rugby shots till now

Jasper's first trip to touch on his actual due date 18/10

Bath Time

I hope you are enjoying the pics of me, it seems that mummy never puts down her camera though we are lucky to get one of mummy as well, she seems to be hiding a lot of the time...

I loved my trip to touch rugby though there was a lot of sweat and red faces, I didn't fancy a cuddle with anyone, even Daddy dripped on me, I don't think he noticed and I didn't want to hurt his feelings but he was a little pongee.

Did you know I was measured again this week and I'm no longer a pushover -4.2kg!

I'm beginning to get the gist of Mummy and Daddy and love clutching their necks and pulling on mummy's hair like reins, mummy doesn't seem to mind and sometimes I even take some of her hair with me for later..

Granny Moo is visiting this week. Ive been warned that it might be a little scary for me at first with lots of shrieking and kissing coming from this Granny Moo figure but I've been told I'll warm to it. I must admit it makes me a little nervous but Mummy has told me that she will be there and I mustn't stop any of my party tricks like 'everything projectile', that is a crowd favourite. Mummy has said that that is the reason why Granny Moo is coming, so she can experience all my tricks. I'll let you know how it all goes, over and out....

Just to let everyone know that Jasper passed his last eye test and everything is where it should be. So hopefully no more calipers in his eyes ( I was a little braver this time). He also passed his sonogram today, taken of his brain and abdomen ( another precaution as he was prem) We are intending to stay away from the hospital now as he has had enough tests to sink a battle ship. He says hi...

A weekend of firsts

I had a very social weekend. I got to meet some of Mummy and Daddy's friends. To be honest they aren't that interesting, they just seem to make lots of 'Awww' sounds and they keep saying 'Q why oh' ( cute in Korean Mummy tells me) For the record I am a boy and boys are neither cute or beautiful and I wish mummy and daddy would stop embarrassing me by telling everyone that I'm beautiful.

I also went into Daddy's work and met some very lovely people. They all wanted to cuddle me which is fine with me. I could detect a nice cabbage smell quite unlike my mummy's milky smell which Ive gotten accustomed to.

We all went off to a party on Saturday night. I had a lovely sleep there but then ( Just between you and I I think Mummy and Daddy wanted to show me off) I had to be a bit more sociable and make small talk with the grown ups. One man was really funny but I don't think my Poppa would have wanted to talk to him because his rugby team beat my Grandma and Poppas team in the weekend. I really tried hard to concentrate but my mind did wander off at times. I nearly got kidnapped a few times but daddy was really brave and valiantly fought the baddies to keep me at the party. I also had my first Indian food, which i later returned to Daddy with ferocious force that took him unawares. He even had to call mummy for help though I wasn't too sure what the urgency was, I was quite comfortable, on my sheepskin, open to the air!

Well until next time .....

Jasper, half way through his feed, wide awake and raring for action!

Me in the hospital
My first stroller trip

Hanging with my mummy at home

We had a really busy weekend because we had Mummy and Daddy's friends visiting from Australia. I went to my first lunch though I didn't fancy anything on the menu. I even went to my first birthday party. Not a lot of fun for me though Scott, the birthday boy, did invite me to take part in the three legged race and the tug of war but I declined politely. My sheepskin in my stroller was much more inviting and I had Zzzzs to clock! I'm a growing boy you know. In fact, and I say this very proudly, I am now 3.5kg - get me! I have to grow as all my girlfriends around me are all bigger. My new girlfriend, Annabella, was 3.4kg when she was born which I consider slightly underhand as I've had to invest a lot of energy over the last three weeks to get to my weight!

We had to visit my hospital again yesterday. I'm not sure why we were there, maybe it was so mummy could empty herself of all her tears because she sure did drip on me. I was trying to be brave with all those needles around but mummy really could do with hardening up ( though I won't tell her that, she was trying, bless her. Anyway all the pretty nurses kept gazing at me and oohing and aahing so I was glad mummy had dressed me in my striped baby grow, its very fetching especially with my spotty pants.

I'm not sure what else we are up to this week but Ill keep you posted, hopefully more rides in my stroller and visits to my girlfriends, chow!

A BUSY WEEK WITH MUMMY

Jasper is into his third week now and is thriving. Those gorgeous cheeks of his are filling out nicely as are his arms and thighs! Long live the breast milk! He had a trip to the hospital this week to check out his eyes. Because he was premature ( as they keep reminding me, as though I wasn't present during his 'early' arrival!) his eyes haven't completely formed, something to do with the retina, but the doctor thinks at our next check up they should be formed. It wasn't the nicest experience. They put some sort of calipers on Jasper's eyes to keep them open while they shone the torch into them, needless to say all present were crying. I WILL have to learn to deal with such unpleasantness! Our friends from Australia are visiting this week which has been lovely and enabled Barny and I to go out and have 'much missed' Korean food. Needless to say this didn't go down so well with Jasper's constitution and I think I shall be missing Korean food for a while yet! How many nappies can one small boy fill in half an hour? Until next time...
