Started this blog with good intentions of updating it daily - realistically I can't find the time so will try to do it weekly instead.

On Monday Zak spent a few hours with Aunty Sue whilst Steven and I went to test drive a car, the handover was made in the Durham Park and Ride - half way between our 2 houses. Decided on the car then picked him up, he's very comfortable with her and had a good time.
Wednesday was a busy day. Gran Zak and I went to buy cot sheets and blankets as Zak was due to have his first sleep over. Bought easter gifts as well then went to pick up Daddys new car. Its a lot bigger than his Hyundai and will make life easier to ship the children about.
On Thursday I took Zak down to the baby clinic to get weighed as he hadnt been for 3 weeks - he is now 14lb and 7 oz, put on 15oz - he's still following his weight line from birth and although he is heavy he is really long for being 11 weeks old. On the afternoon we walked down to the town centre through the dene as it was a really nice day - bought a birthday present for Abby whose fancy dress party Zak was attending on Saturday. Thought I would make it home before he needed feeding but mistimed it - had to feed him on a park bench half way home - his first alfresco lunch!
Good Friday - Gran and Grandad were cooking the traditional fish and chips at their house. I walked Zak up there, after being stopped by all of the neighbours taking in some of the nice weather. Aunty Sue and Uncle Grant were there also with Grants mam Evelyn. After a lovely dinner, Zak spent a lot of time under his play gym being entertained by Grandad. Gran and I made Zak a fancy dress outfit - it started off as a mummy, but ended up as dalmation, black card spots glued onto a white sleep suit. Daddy got finished early and came up for an hour and picked us up. 
Zak got picked up at 12 o'clock on Saturday by Carly - he looked so cute in his outfit, will post a picture of him. I took advantage of the hour break to go to Peterlee, have stepped Zak up to the next milk and needed to buy some more big cartons. He's taking 8oz every feed and the small cartons only hold 7oz. Didnt manage to get any - there is only Boots that sells it and they all only seem to get a few in. I joined Zak at the party about 2.30, he just been fed by Aunty Chris. The rest of the family, Aunty Olwen especially couldn't get over how much he had changed in a few weeks since she had seen him.
Easter Sunday, and Aunty Sue was cooking lunch. Picked up Teg and Oscar on the way, with Zak asleep all the way up. We went to the park with Evelyn to feed the ducks before lunch, weather was nice but breezy. Zak was fed in the conservatory by his Grandad and was cuddled by everyone. Oscar read his new book with me - a Dr Suess one called Green Eggs and Ham. His reading has come on a treat and he did really well. Teg went for a walk with Uncle Grant and the dog Brea. Met Daddy back at home just before Nan and Stuart came to visit - they couldn't believe the change in Zak either, think I dont realise that because I see him every day. Teg read Zak's new books to him, a lovely set from Aunty Sue and Uncle Grant for Easter - Thats not my dog etc with things to touch on each page.
On Monday Steven and I took all 3 kids to South Shields, little look around the market then to the fairground. Back home to pack Zak's case for his night at his Grans. It was very wierd dropping him off to sleep, the longest he'd ever been away from me. He went around to his Aunty Greta's to watch the Sunderland match then slept all night. His Gran and Grandad didn't though, worried about keeping him warm even though he was in his sleeping bag.
Today I woke early and went to pick him up - he was very contented and looked great in his cotbed. We spent the day with Gran and Aunty Sue in the Metro Centre. Zak is very good when we're out shopping and likes being pushed in his pram. Gran had to feed him in the car on way back as he woke up and was starving.
Thats all for now - took 2 attempts to finish it tonight, maybe I'll try not to leave it as late next time.
