We bought Aeryn her first two books the other day. This one, Goodnight Panda is her favourite so far. The idea of a glove puppet & book combined just worked so well we thought we had to have it. The fact that it's predominantly black & white (which is best for Aeryn's eyesight right now) made it even better. She seems to be fondest of the zebra and the cat as they're the ones she grabs.

Or does that mean she hates them & wants to rip their heads off?

She also had her first visit to the doctor on Saturday.

After a couple of colicy days she suddenly developed large, very hard lumps in her breasts. She actually looked like she had hit puberty already. Putting the two things together made us really worried, so we called NHS24 who sent us off to the emergency surgery.

All was well, though, as it's apparently quite common and hormone-related.

We reserve the right to be worried parents, though.

She's been unsettled again tonight & won't stop feeding so there may well be a rough night ahead...

Quick update

I've just not had a moment to sit down & post properly of late. I've been going days without hitting the power-switch on the PC. Then when I do my inbox is full of clutter I have to wade through to get to the good stuff. Anyway, a quick note to say all's well. Aeryn's not as perfect as before, but I reckon that's down to us still trying to figure out her needs and get the right routine for her. Mind you, by anyone's standards one feed per night is pretty good.

I've set up a Picassa web album alongside the Flickr one, because Picassa works better off the desktop.

Still waiting for the library to start, but got a few days on River City in the meantime. Which I'm off to now...
