eight week check

So Della is two months old now. How time flies. She started the week with a visit from Gran Anne while her Dad worked late and visited uncle Nick in Leeds. She had a lovely time with lots of smiles.

One good thing about being two month old is that she has created her own little night time routine now. It goes food, play, nap, cry, cuddle, nap, bottle, sleep. The last sleep lasts anywhere between 4 and 7 hours. This is brilliant as everyone is getting a bit more sleep now - even if it does mean Della sleeps less in the day.

Last night was the exception to this. At least there was a reason though - she had her 8 week check at the doctor which included a check of her heart beat, tummy, hips, eyes and mouth. After this though she had to have her injections. We have never heard her scream so much, we now know that she feels pain!

Two injections certainly left her feeling very grumpy!

Injection in leg one = little scream

Injection in leg two = massive, never heard before scream

All of this resulted in the routine going out of the window and a very grizzly little Della. As I write this though she has just napped off in her buggy so fingers crossed she will pick herself up as we are heading over to Leeds to see Uncle Nick today. Hopefully we will have some sunshine and we can go out for a picnic.
