My husband M has stayed at home in London and looked after 4.5 month old Little Planet on Saturday, Sunday and today, while I am visiting my parents in East Anglia. He has taken her out shopping to the local fishmonger's, butcher's, baker's and to our local farmers' market. He has taken her out to the park. He has taken her to visit her auntie. He has generally enjoyed showing her off (she draws alot of comments from strangers when we're out and about and he is a proud daddy).Meanwhile, I have spent the three days looking after my mother who is recovering from a knee operation. I have cooked her lamb and spinach curry with Bengali five spices, and a chorizo and chickpea stew. I have helped her out with some paperwork and shopping. But I have also lounged around alot, eating junk, reading magazines and the weekend papers from cover to cover, listening to music really loud, and sleeping in late each day until 9.30 or 10am. I feel like a teenager again!
I am missing M and Little Planet - our weekends a trois are treasured. But the break in routine is lovely. And of course, seeing my mum and dad.
I would have brought Little P with me, but she is going through a very fussy feeding stage at the moment making it difficult to feed her outside her known environment and without distractions. She may have mild reflux and/or may be ready for solids. We shall see how it goes this week and may have to give her infant Gaviscon and/or introduce some baby rice to her diet. I can't wait to introduce her to solids.

She is incredible adorable.
Loved her outfit....
Little P looks like a real Doll, just too CUTE!
I was going to say what Priyanka did because it's true!
She looks very precocious for a 4 month old, imagine what she'd say if she could :)
Thank you all. Even the doctors and nurses who tend to her say she's incredibly alert and calm for her age - always calmly looking around obersrving everything. When I look over at her and find her staring at me I often wonder what she is "thinking"!
Little Planet has blossomed into a beautiful cuddly baby....Hug her for me, will you?*Grin grin*
M looked after the kid all by himself for three days is it?? We can't take care of L'Buddha for 3 hours without assistance. Me taking care of LB for one whole day all by myself is simply unimaginable...I have resigned to fate that some babies are high maintanence. Sigh!
In all, Little Planet is a low maintenance baby. When M is at work, I look after her all day on my own and sometimes for several days and nights when he is away. At the same time, she is very comfortable being looked after by her grandmother (my mother-in-law). And she loves spending long periods of time just with M. Of course, separation anxiety or teething haven't hit us yet (and they will!!).
