Isla's Little World

Hello, my name is Isla and I'm 10 (days).

I've been up partying all night with my mum and dad (Jennifer and David) and I just know I'm not going to be able to sleep until I've started blogging.

I'll start with a little bit of an autobiography. (Never to young to start writing your memoirs as far as I'm concerned.)

I was born last Monday (4/7/05), early in the morning - my favourite time of day. I wasn't too kean on coming out in to the world - I was perfectly cosy inside my mummy's tummy - but it wasn't getting a bit cramped in there and contractions aren't much fun if you're on the inside either. I won't go into too much of the gory details of the birth, you'll have to ask m&d about that, but at 2:25 I emerged and let out a good hearty yell just in case my arrival hadn't been noticed.

This is me just after the big moment...

This is me when I was 2 (days), I'm the peach in the middle ...

So far life has been pretty good really - will I keep getting presents and cards for the rest of my life? I do hope so. To start with I didn't do much more than sleep, poop, feed and sleep some more. But now I'm getting much better at being AWAKE, which is much more fun for everyone.

I'm not too kean on this bathing business though - it's just not dignified. As for nappy changes... Just no way to treat a lady.

This body of mine is taking some getting used. It just seems to flop about mostly. Especially the arms, they just seem to flail about. One minute I've got a hand perfectly placed inside my mouth and the next moment I can barely see it because its jumping about so quickly. Most frstrating, I can tell you.

Well, it's almost daytime now so time for me to sleep. I'll be back soon with more pics and more about me.
