Axel got a cold poor thing.

Ohhh the weekend went too fast! Had my hair done Saturday morning, so nice to sit and just do nothing for a 2 hours, just read my book and some gossip magazines and sat and watched the world go by. I got lovely tulips when I got home (Valentines day) and some chocolate and I gave J two pocket books (one being the best every first instalment of the Stieg Larsson trilogy books- a must). We went for lunch at some friends house but then Axel got a bit warm so we went home. He got even worse in the evening and the night was slightly painful with Ax waking up every hour. Then everything got worse on Sunday, Axel still had a cold, when we were going to go to Homebase the car refused to start even tho it's actually quite new - the battery was flat cos we never use it.. Gonna MOT it on Wednesday and then we are going to sell it, no use waisting money on a car we never drive and we live so central anyway we can walk or take the bus almost everywhere otherwise we can always hire a car over the weekend should we fancy a mini road trip. We where all a bit off spirit but manage to buy some "ingredients" for our wedding invitations (and I bought the last bits today so the production will commence soon : ). But J and his friend manage to get the car rolling when we got back which was great, and then we ordered some take away to cheer ourselves up and watch a movie called "Definitely, maybe" which was just perfect for a lazy evening : )

Last night was even more painful unfortunately. Axel woke up every hour and then by 4 he had had enough poor thing, I couldn't get him to sleep again so I pushed him in the pram in the living room while lying on the sofa from 4 to 6 in the morning when I woke J up and he took over. But Axel finally fell asleep again with his daddy on the sofa and they both slept to 7.30 which was nice for them. I really really hope he will sleep a bit better tonight!

Me and Axel on Friday the 13th Feb

(hard to get both of us looking in the photo)

Axel's first -

He tried Butternut squash puree for the first time today and loved it (well he has liked everything so far).

- He also tried to drink cooled boiled water for the first time from a cup, went ok, he mostly just bit the cup (but he seemed to get some water and he really enjoyed playing with the cup which is the most important thing so far).
