Day 123 31/10/2011 Recovery
I guess we must be recovering from the big day yesterday. We only took one picture of Michael today. Here it is.
Day 122 30/10/2011 Christening Day
Here is Michael with his cousin Annie
Today was Michael's christening day in Goodmanham. I
It was the changing of the clocks and by a small miracle Michael slept until 9 O'clock by his body time, 8 O'clock official. Mum (Michael's Granny) had done days of work in cooking a preparing for the guests and was still working hard all morning. I'm sorry we didn't help much, we gave Michael a bath and got ourselves ready.
Here is Michael in his smart party suit.
Just before all the guests started arriving Michael fell asleep in his chair. I think this was very good timing from him as he was going to need all his energies for the rest of a busy day.
Michael was passed around quite a lot during the party and though I think he had a good time he never seemed very happy away from Rocio and me for very long. Here he is with Auntie Sharron.
After much party and eating and pass the Michael it was time to go to the church. We had decided to walk to church and Rocio and I prepared ourselves and went upstairs for a final 'comfort stop' before leaving. We didn't know what facilities the church would have. It seems that everyone thought we had gone on ahead as everyone then left and we nearly got locked in the house as the others left for the church for a christening without a baby. Still we managed to escape and set off walking to the church, somewhat behind the others now and we had not got far when we realised we had forgotten the Michael's christening clothes and the possibly essential 'Baby bag' containg nappies and such like. We had to phone for help and David drove back to let us back into the house or Michael would have missed his own christening for the second time.
I'll not put pictures from the church here as I still have many to organise and I'll post them separately.
Here is Michael in the after party with both Marcia and Hinrich two of his God parents who came up from Nottingham to do him the honour.
Michael was wonderful and full of interest and fun in the parties and in the church. I'm sure he had a good time and he was still having fun in the car on the way back to Nottingham in the evening.

Day 121 29/10/2011 All or Nothing
Today we went to Mum's (Michael's Granny's) house to be ready for Mike's christening tomorrow. We took the usual baby bag and extra clothes fro Michael but this time we took his favour tie bouncy chair as well. This should make him much happier in Mum's house. He really like a quiet time in his chair sometimes. I think he enjoyed the car journey and the motorway services although he is a bit all or nothing today. I think he has a cold (His first proper illness) and he is either happy or shouting/crying. I always thing that Michael is quite amazing as he will laugh at me puling silly faces, in the middle of him having a big cry, and go straight back to crying. It's as if he is upset but still trying his best to have a good time. He really wants to be in a good mood.
Day 120 28/10/2011 Half Term
We went to a new baby group this morning run by the people who send a volunteer to Rocio to help her get out and about. Thing is no-one was there because it's half term. How were we to know? We have never had to think about half term before. Perhaps it's starts here. We have to run our lives around school term times from now on.
Day 119 27/10/2011 Eyebrow Game
Today was baby weighing day but we decided not to go. Michale is well and healthy and happy and we are not worried about him. He is definitely getting heavier and more solid and we will probably go next week to get him weighed.
The fun game of the day has been The Eyebrow Game. Michael and I look at each other, perhaps across the room and Michael makes out he is all serious until I wiggle my eyebrows and then he cracks up. We can repeat this many many time and it doesn't get old fro Michael. He makes it all worth while for me each time with huge open mouth laugh.
He eye sight is either getting better or perhaps he is just paying more attention to things further away because I can often get a smile out of his from across the room or through he window these days.

Day 118 26/10//2011 Teddy Mum
Rocio was planning to stay home this afternoon with Michael but just before I went to work Rocio's friend Kerrisia phoned and they decided to meet in town. I dropped Rocio and Michael off near the bus station and whilst I worried about them they went off to meet Kerrisia. I'm told they had a good time going shopping, two blind ladies and a baby, though Michael didn't want to be held by anyone else but Rocio which made it hard for her to try things on. Rocio bought a lovely furry jacket to wear a t the christening and I think Michael likes it becuase it's like haveing a furry teddy Mum.
Day 117 25/10/2011 Singing
Michael has a new game. O.k. Michael always has a new game, he's very inventive and loves to have fun.
His new game is called singing. He like to shout and squeal, especially when I join in with him. We take it in turns to make silly noises and often end up doing a silly noise duet. If I stop he gets a bit shy and quiet but if I join in with sufficient enthusiasm we can build up and up until I'm sure the neighbours really appreciate it.
