twenty-seven weeks new

You were getting so big so fast.

You had taken weaning in your stride

and would happily open your mouth wide

to try every food we offered you.

You definitely preferred the pureed vegetables

over the pureed fruits

and liked thicker consistency food

rather than it being really runny.

It was the end of the newborn baby era

and the beginnings of you becoming a little girl.

You were going through a phase of looking a lot like your daddy

which we suspected was because you had the same cheeky smile

and a certain way of raising your eyebrow at us.

Even Daddy could see the similiaries.

You also had eyes like Daddy's now too.

They had lost their navy-grey colour

and were now a grey brown which was really close to his.

And you had always had his long, straight eyelashes.

We were a bit worried that you might also be getting his monster eyebrows,

they were just so long.

The hair on your head was getting long too

and it stood up on end

which looked really funny.

You had such a big and funny personality

and pulled some hilarious expressions

which had us falling about with laughter.

And we were finding certain things that were guaranteed to make you laugh.

You would giggle at the usual things,

like peekaboo and tickling.

But you also laughed hysterically at anybody dancing, especially your brother,

and you found Mummy saying the word "oopsie" the funniest thing ever.

So of course we did these things all the time

just to see your gorgeous smiley face.
