Welcome to Rabbits' Blog!

Hello! My name is Joseph Woodrow Stevens and this is my Blog. It's called Rabbits' Blog, because that was the name Mummy and Daddy gave me when I was still in Mummy's tummy. (Apparently Daddy's sister wanted to call my Daddy Rabbits when he was born!)

Anyway, Mummy and Daddy write stuff down here about me, 'cos they seem to think it's interesting. I just like all the pictures of me, 'cos I'm gorgeous! I hope you like what Mummy and Daddy have written here. Let them know if you do. They'd like to hear from you!

Lots of love and kisses!

What a good boy!

I met some friends for lunch today and then took Joseph to see the people at work. It took quite a bit of organising to get the little boy ready but he was incredibly well behaved. The car wouldn't start but he didn't kick up a fuss and he was asleep all through lunch. He was really interested to see all of the new people. He was looking around him and was very alert and well behaved. Quite a few people held him and he was totally ok with that.

I was not too sure that I wanted many people to hold him. I'm very possessive and I'm not sure that I trust people with my precious little bundle. I managed to get through it without getting too weird with any one.

It was nice to pop in to work but I'm not sure that I want to go back just yet. I'm not sure that I want to stay at home and become a full time mother as I love to have people to chat to but I'm not ready to go back to work yet. It was weird to feel like I did not really belong in a place where I've known every one for ages. It'll be very strange to get back into that world when I do go back.

Brave Little Man

Joseph had his first set of immunisations today. Craig changed his day off so that he could be there to hold him as I'm scared of needles. Good job. Joseph was very brave and did not cry too much but I had a few tears and couldn't watch. Joseph's legs are still very small but he is very strong and Craig had to hold his leg while the needle went in. He has to go back again in four weeks to have some more but we haven't told him that yet.

On the plus side, we went to clinic yesterday and Joseph now weighs 5 lb 8 oz. We are very proud of our little porker.

2 months old and going it alone with Mummy

This week was the week when Craig went back to work. I was scared that it was going to be really difficult but we've been fine except for the odd hissy fit (not telling you which one of us it was). We've kept ourselves busy going for walks and visiting Nanny (always a good move as it means a little time out for Mummy). I'm starting to get used to the sort of planning that is needed when you want to go any where with a small person. I haven't managed a solo trip to Tesco's yet but I'll have to bite the bullet at some point. The trouble is that the place for the infant carrier is at shoulder height and I'm not sure my muscles are up to it.

So far I am doing ok. Craig is now trying to readjust for a second time. He was doing fine with the reduced amount of sleep while he was home but is having trouble dealing with being at work all day and then coming home to the little monkey and a tired Mummy. I guess he will work through it in the end but at the moment it's a little hard on the both of us.

Craig in DIY shocker!

Mum, Joseph and I went shopping today and Craig stayed home. It is the last day before he goes back to work and he hadn't completed all of the little tasks that he had planned on doing. When we came back from shopping he had put up the cot bed, put up a new light fitting in Joseph's room and trimmed the bath panel so that it fits correctly with the new carpet. He then put up the lampshade that we had bought that day. I was mightily impressed.
