Le Weekend

We had an extra long Bank Holiday Weekend, Daddy took Friday off so we all had four days together. This was foiled slightly by the boy getting nappy rash. Wow. He's not had nappy rash before, yes it's been a bit red and I've slathered on the Sudocrem, but this was something horrible, his poor little behind was red raw, he couldn't sit in the highchair and was all whimpery and morose :(
So the plan to take him to an animal park didn't go ahead, instead we went straight down to Kent to stay with T's parents and bought out Boots for remedies. The Sudocrem wasn't working, I googled cures and everyone seemed to have a different remedy, one person would say that one thing was fantastic and another not, and someone else would say the complete opposite. In the end we used Metanium (but also bought Bepanthen) and it helped clear it up. Four nights later it's still a little sore but much better.

That was the bad part of the weekend but on the plus side:

Charlie got his third tooth - top left
He started walking on his own, constantly testing himself with going a little further each time
Nana and Grandad have a new kitten (Reuben) which Charlie LOVED
Luckily the kitten seemed to LOVE Charlie too, and kept coming back to play
We went to a city farm and saw lambs, chickens, cows, a pony and more (another post for these photos)

And speaking of photos, my camera broke and it wouldn't focus properly. I was so upset I've had it for years and can't really afford to replace it, but luckily on the way to get it looked at I managed to fix it - yay! So hooray for magically fixing cameras and boo that I didn't get nearly enough cute baby and kitten photos.

 Little face in awe of the kitten - he kept saying "cat cat cat"

 Just after he learnt that kittens have claws (luckily no really injury, more shock then anything)

Fun fun fun
