Visitors

Well what an exciting week. The Faz family came to visit Sunday night - they were staying the week in Dads caravan and Daniel (K's son) came up to meet his brother on Tuesday.

Seeing Daniel with Dylan was lovely. At first he was petrified - openly admitting it - but was soon sat on the sofa talking to Dylan about his plans to make him a renowned football player - it was so cute!

Me and my bro

K and Daniel took Dylan for a walk on Wednesday whilst I got on with the ironing. Its the first time K has taken the pram out so watching him put it up was fun, they walked down to the dome and back again - "miles" as Daniel put it; made me laugh cause its our normal afternoon walk!

Dylan obliged us by filling his nappy Wednesday afternoon. Daniel couldn't believe that he could produce something so horrible! No matter how I asked he just wouldn't change his nappy - chicken.

Wednesday night we had a BBQ. Deb, Pete, Olivia, Jack and Julie joined mum, dad and we four for the usual BBQ fare. Sadly Dylan was really clingy, couldn't figure out why he wouldn't go to anyone and cried lots - then it dawned on us - he has started teething.

I didn't think this happened for another couple of months, but he has definite little white bumps in his mouth at the front and his gums look really red and sore. Added to this was his red cheeks, ramming his first into his mouth and the bubble blowing, apparently all pointers towards teething!!!

Anbesol was applied to the offending gums and seemed to settle him a little, but he just wanted his mommie and clung to me for the whole night. Mum kept trying to get me to give him whisky - "we did it in our day".


Jack, Julie, me and Dylan and Papa

It was a good thing Pete and I had prepared most of the food, all that was left to cook off were the burgers and sausages - a little job for K.
On reflection not sure if Dylan was teething or if he was just crying cause of the dinosaur suit - LOL!!!
