Day 169 16/12/11 Weighing Michael

We woke up early today because the nursery nurse came to check Michael and weigh him. We haven't been along to the baby weighing drop-in for a few weeks and they kindly come out to us sometimes. He is now 7.90 Kg or 17 Lb 6 Oz very slightly above the average weight for his age but well within the "Perfectly Healthy" range.

Michael decided to join in today when Rocio was washing her hand. He took the soap and put it in and out of the water and got it all over his hands. After he had had enough he dried his hands on the towel. He always surprises us with how much he understands of what is going on around him, and he really likes to join in.

We are using re-usable nappies most of the time now with Michael. At least when he's in the house and Rocio says she is enjoying it. The nappy we won at the Nappuccino is excellent and we are thinking of buying some more. I guess we won't be using disposables at all in Peru so we need a good supply.
