Two days ago Mummy had me weighed. I was 18lb 3oz. I am continuing to track the 75th centile.

Mummy has been really nice to me, and hasn't yet complained that I have a 2 hourly routine at night. She has however had fun (with Daddy) in trying to get me to drink from mugs, beakers and yesterday I had a slice of pear in my mouth. It's not as good as milk!

As always, there are random videos of my exploits at http://youtube.com/user/Gingerdog

I was definitely pretending when I did all that good sleeping, but Mummy doesn't mind so much as it was really hot when I was waking up a lot and I was obviously thirsty. Now I'm pretty much back to the old 3 hourly routine, which means 2 night feeds, which Mummy is quite happy with.

Last week I fooled Mummy into thinking her sleep worries were over by sleeping a solid week of 2 lots of around 4 hours. She was very very happy as this meant only one night feed. Then, over the weekend we were away and I never sleep well when I don't get my routine and my old bed, so that messed it up.

Today, we were in Reading, staying with Hannah, Joe and Oscar.

Hannah passed her driving test today - I'm not sure what this means, but everyone seemed happy.

In the morning, Daddy disappeared (as he often does) and Mummy and I went to the local shops with Oscar and Joe. Joe's a bit scary as he has a hairy chin and four eyes. Oscar on the other hand is a like a little monkey - always on the move.

Mummy is very proud of me this week. My sleeping habits have sort of improved - if I have my routine and bath I'll now go to sleep at between 8.30 and 9.30, depending on what time I've had my bath and how much I ate before it. Mummy is mostly pleased, but it does mean that we have 2 feeds in the night - one at between 12 and 1 or so, the other at 4 or so when I come into bed with mummy and feed while we both sleep.

My dear parents were thinking that I was heading towards a few nice things on the feeding and sleeping front. I looked like I was stopping cluster feeding, and that I was sleeping longer - which made a single night feed seem possible (well I am doing it actually but Mummy doesn't think that 5.30am is morning yet! (silly Mummy!)) Anyway, I am going to sleep at around 10.30 instead of 11pm or later, so she should be satisfied with that.

It's all about me, and in conjunction with a leading Bromsgrove based filming company, here are some out-takes of the film "Rowan" - which I'm expecting to take Hollywood by storm - get the scoop here.

Yes, the other stupid parent wanted me to be able to blog all about myself without people who wanted to read a technical blog having to read about "Rowan this" and "Rowan that" but she wanted me to be able to tell other people lots about myself, and for us to keep a record of how I'm changing so quickly!

So all of the stuff about me will be on here, regular (maybe daily) updates and links to pictures and vidoes. So if you want to read about me, subscribe to the feed as I won't be appearing in any aggregators (aren't I a clever baby to know about such things)
