Like father like son... in some ways!


A not so little anymore Alfie is six months today... and what a six months it's been. If I find the time between nappy changes and work next week I'll post a film to mark the occasion.

I forgot to mention that father and son went to the clinic last week for a weigh in. The news is that he continues to thrive and grow in all directions. He weighs in at 7.75Kg, thats a 3.37Kg increase since birth which is good progress despite a little blip around 3 months. At birth he was 53cm in length but now measures in at a lofty 70cm! As the midwife says long and lean - like his dad? More on that later!In the noggin department his head circumference has increased from (a far to big for a newborn!) 38cm to 47.5cm.

All good progress when you consider the start he got off to. He is also progressing in so many other ways which surprises us daily - sitting up for longer, wriggling (not quite crawling yet!), rolling, talking and off course wolfing down those solids.
