Megan is now four months old! She's had a lovely couple of weeks seeing family and friends, but also hasn't been feeling too well - she has a slight cold and has started teething.

Megan enjoyed meeting Auntie Elaine & Uncle Chris and Auntie Margaret & Uncle Maurice (Uncle Chris's parents) for lunch one day. Auntie Elaine and Uncle Chris have just arrived back from holiday in Australia, and so Grandma, Grandpa, Mummy, Aidan, and Megan all went to meet them in Stirling. Megan loved all the cuddles and attention!

Megan has been to Glasgow to go shopping with Mummy and Daddy, out for lunch to friends and, most excitingly, her godparents also came to visit for the weekend!

We took Megan to the doctor because of her skin and the doctor diagnosed pretty much what we thought - she has a few patches of mild eczema in her face, a touch of cradle cap, and a related rash on her abdomen. She was prescribed Oilatum, which contained the problem but didn't really improve it; and then we tried using Johnson's Light Oil Mist, which seems to have been the miracle cure!

She is having occasional bouts of teething pain, but no sign of any teeth just yet, and she had her third set of immunisations on Thursday 9th. She was a very brave girl during the immunisations, and even managed to smile at the nurse afterwards! Mummy also took her to the Breastfeeding Group run by the Health Centre afterwards, for the first time. Megan enjoyed meeting several other babies of a similar age.

I can move! Megan loves to kick and move her arms and legs. Here she's trying to roll over onto her side.

Watching the washing. Megan has discovered that watching the washing machine while it is on can be a really fun occupation.

Mobile bouncy chair. Megan is in the process of discovering the technique her brother used for moving the bouncy chair across the floor - moving her arms up and down simulataneously - it's quite effective on a wooden floor!
