Yesterday we went to see Isabel, our new niece and Charlie's new cousin. She was just one week old and very tiny (6lbs,11oz at birth).
Charlie was a little out of sorts but loved seeing the new baby. He's not been around many babies so was ever so curious, he kissed her head and smelt that new baby smell, he asked lots of questions particularly about breastfeeding, including "why is she licking her Mummy's tummy?" which had us in giggles.
We gave our presents and had cuddles with the baby. Tom was a doting uncle and little I had a big long sleep on him. C played with his trains and on the Kindle and helped Uncle S take the compost out (a treat, he loves doing this!), but kept coming back to see the baby.
The new Mummy and Daddy were not too tired having had 7 hours sleep the previous night and having N's Mum there to help out for a few days.
I'd made a lasagne for lunch (this brilliant cheats version from Waitrose (with added mushrooms)) and we had apple pie and custard for pudding. After lunch we went for a walk to the local play park. C burnt off some of his toddler energy on a big yellow slide, which he loved and then he was incredibly happy to see Granny and Grandad who called in on their way home from Norfolk to see both their grandchildren together!
So a lovely day meeting the newest member of the family.
