Welcome

Welcome to our family website, a look into the lives of the Walker-Smith family, well thats the idea

To find out more about us read the whoweare page, to find out more about this site have a look at the colophon... hmm which doesn't yet exist

This site as it stands at present looks excellent on Mac, with Sarari, Netscape7.1, and Mozilla Firebird0.7, and now IE. If it looks bad in your browser, either buy a Mac or upgrade to the latest browsers!

This is a work in progress, I hope to turn the whole site over to this look and feel over the next few days, so this site may not be working 100%, esp in those pesky window browsers.

A bit about me

I was recently just 2 months old – on the 19th of March. My personal stats are weight: 6Kg, height: 58.5cm and head: 39.5. Dad said it would have been better if it were 36-28-36, but I am not sure what he meant; I suppose he was trying to be funny. Mummy gave him one of those looks.

So two months, such a long time. So far I do a lot of eating, you wouldn’t believe how much I love milk, it’s the best thing in the world to eat/drink, I just can’t get enough of it. I am so lucky Mummy almost has an endless supply.

What else? Ah well I am starting to find my own fingers, sometimes I put them in my mouth, apparently this will be a start of a fingers in mouth fixation I will have for quite a while. Perhaps. My fingers are still a little small I can almost fit my fist into my mouth.

I am also increasing my vocabulary. I now do a nice little “ahhh” and sometime after a burp more often or not I do an “abooo”. They sound sort of like the sound Mum and Dad make to me sometimes.

With mummy in the morning we do exercises, I especially like the role over it’s such fun. My head, which is so big compared to the rest of me, takes some muscle to control it. I am starting to deal with it all right, but still sometimes I loose control and head butt either mum and dad in the chest, daddy hurts more because his chest is not like mums.

Bath times are now cool. At first I thought I was going to drown and I would get all scared, and dad would get the temperature to low, how he managed that with a thermometer I don’t know, but now I know Mum and Dad will look after me in the water, and apart from the cleaning I can have a little fun kicking my legs and trying to swim. Being in the water reminds me of something, but I cannot remember for the life of me. Maybe I came from the sea, which is outside our windows.

Oh and I love looking at the ceilings.
