William Norris

I have a cold. Probably got it from the Nursery as everyone else has one. Lots of sneezing and making me cough overnight too.

Had Diarheoa all this week. Doctors said that the could not give me anything. I have a sore bum.

Flew back from Spain today.

Mummy discovered I have my first tooth coming through on the top of my gums. She noticed a few days ago, but wasn’t sure.

I had my hair cut again for the 2nd time today at Grandma’s hairdressers in Villa Martin. This time Daddy was there to see me and some photo’s were taken. Much better now, I look less like a girl now.

Went with mummy and daddy to Spain to see grandparents. I was good on the flight only moaned a little bit on take-off as I hate being strapped down!

Got weighed again today – 19lb 15oz which is 9.04kg, a bit over average.

Been to the doctors today about my cough. They think it’s a broncitis infection and took a swab from my nose. Been told that I might be allergic to Formula milk so I have soy white milk instead now.

Today Mummy and Daddy took me to Farnborough Leisure centre and Daddy and I went in to the big swimming pool. At first, I wasn’t sure about the water, I didn’t cry, just showed no emotion. I went in my inflatable and then I started to enjoy myself. I was laughing, and saying “da da da” all the time. I then found when I started to kick I moved around the pool! I stayed in there for 30 minutes!

Mummy’s turn next time!

This week, not only do I get around quickly now by crawling, but I have learnt that I can pull myself up in my cot and stand up. Although I have to hold on, it’s a great feeling to stand!

Today, Grandma went back home to Spain. I’ll miss her.

Again, today Grandma babysat me. I didn’t exhaust her as much today – but we still had a lot of fun together.

Today I ran circles around Grandma. She babysat me all day instead of me going to Nursery. Mummy and Daddy went to work. I really enjoyed myself and it showed that I really exhausted Grandma out by the end of the day.

Was weighed this morning – 18lb 13oz

Today, Grandma Norris came over from Spain to see me. She was here when I woke up.

Today I went to the doctor about my coughing over night. This is the third visit for us about my coughing. The doctor prescribed me some antibiotics to take four times a day for five days. It is called Erythromycin Ethylsuccinate. I took some at 1pm and at 3pm Mum noticed my temperature was quite high. Here are the temperature readings:

13.00 Antibiotic taken
15.00 38-39 (head thermometer)
18.00 38-39 (head thermometer)
18.00 Antibiotic taken
20.00 39.1 (digital thermometer under arm)
20.30 39.4
23.00 38.8
23.30 38.2
01.00 38.8
01.00 Antibiotic taken
02.30 39.4
03.10 38.5
03.50 38.4
07.00 39.3
07.30 38.9
08.00 38.4
09.00 37.5
12.00 37.1

I believe that I am allergic to the medicine and gave me a high temperature and vomiting my food up.

Much better now thanks!

Today Mummy passed her driving test. She looked so happy finally passing the fourth time around. Lucky, as she only had a couple of weeks left before her theory test ran out. So now Mummy can take me out without Dad being around – yay!

Today Mummy and Daddy dropped me off to Piggybanks Nursery, Heath End, near Farnham. We dropped Mummy off to her work in Aldershot first then Daddy took me to this strange new place. I was okay at first then started to sulk and cry. My carer Angela phoned Mummy for advice on what to feed me etc. I didn’t want much food, my gums were hurting and I missed my parents.

At lunch time, Mum and Dad came and I smiled for the first time that day. Daddy played with me and I was laughing lots. Mummy fed me and I fell asleep for a long time. When I woke up, I felt a lot better and played with other toys and children in my group.

Mummy and Daddy picked me up at 5pm and I was pleased to see them.

I got woken up early today and we went to Dover and joined a ferry to take us to France. Daddy drove lots of miles in France. The weather was raining and I was a bit bored sat in my chair in the back of the car.

End of the day, the weather cleared and eventually found a hotel in Bueresville near Honfleur. I had a good nights sleep in my cotbed.

Sunday we wandered around Honfleur and went on a boat trip – it was great. We then drove back to Calais and on an evening ferry back to Dover and then home again.

Today, Mummy was talking to Evelyn next door. They were talking about my hair that was quite long. They then took the scissors to it and chopped some off! Daddy wasn’t there to see it though.

Daddy brought home a new high chair for me to sit in and have my dinner in.
