Poorly soldier






Daisy isn't very well at the moment. She woke up this morning all sniffly and has gotten worse all day so she's now a sneezy little snot box. On top of that she seems to have a touch of the nasty tummy bug which resulted in a noisy incident on the train home today. Poor Daisy, I won't embarrass her by going in to details.

She had been very brave despite her woe so we were able to enjoy a nice visit to Windsor today to visit Grandma Julia. It was her longest train journey so far to get there - a whole 48 minutes - and it went very well apart from when she got over excited looking out and banging on the window and head butted it. Oops. When we arrived in Windsor we tracked down a Starbucks where Daisy had her lunch then she went to sleep and we headed to Carluccio's where I had my lunch. Once Julia arrived we checked out the castle. Daisy was fascinated by the castle police's big guns and I made sure to point out their handcuffs and have a talk to her about what happens to naughty babies. Obviously once we had the sightseeing done with we went shopping. Windsor has good shops!

Yesterday we went to town for lunch with Andy which was good as always. Daisy is always very pleased to see her Daddy during the day so it's a nice treat for her. And me.

Daisy had her 8 month check up on Wednesday afternoon. Her measurements were done and she is doing well. She is on about the 40th percentile (bigger than 40% of babies) for weight, on the 75th percentile for head circumference and on the 98th percentile for length. Go the long legs! Obviously she gets them from me....not. I got her a helium balloon for being such a good girl during her check up which she loved playing with.

The top photo is with her balloon on Wednesday and the following ones are from Windsor today.
