'Feel sorry for me' face

Finally things seem to be getting back to normal with me and the rest of the family after a terrible start to the year.

Quite literally welcoming in the New Year with mummy (Jools Holland's show in the background)

As you know I hadn't been great over Christmas and that continued into the new year. One moment I was feeling slightly better and was looking better, the next I was coughing and spluttering again and generally being incredibly miserable (most unlike me).


A brief respite from feeling rubbish


Luckily for the last week (when Naddy has been worse) I have at least been sleeping through the night again. However I have taken to clinging to mummy's leg most of the time (that is when I am not asleep and not being cuddled) and I am still spending most of the day wailing if I don't have food in my hand or there's isn't a decent dvd on tv. In other words I am seriously testing mummy's patience. Daddy has been a bit ill this week and when he went to the doctors the doctor seriously said to him that a lot of kids had this virus that made them cough a lot and generally very miserable. So it looks like that's probably what I have - the miserable virus!



You'd never think I had it in me, eh?


So we've all been lying low, not doing much, in fact I don't think I've been out of the flat in two weeks (apart from a visit to the doctor with mummy). However bugs seem to be subsiding so mummy and daddy can start worrying about other things such as my standing - they've noticed for some time now that I stand really funny on one of my feet. It really isn't comfortable to look at as it sort of bends and curls in the wrong direction. I was supposed to have a physio appointment before Christmas but it had to be cancelled so it is now not until the week after next. In mummy and daddy's view it can't come soon enough. Still it doesn't stop me from pulling up on anything and everything.

I think I remember seeing mummy do something like this....

Not very good hygiene and strange 'anxious' pose

Lets hope for a better second half to January.
