Freddie update!

New things that Freddie can do that I am happy about....

• Say 'hiya'

• Show us how big he is by putting his arms up.

• Comfortably walk the length of the room with his Trolly or car.

• Clap his hands to the music.

•Play with his brother much more.


New things that Freddie can do that I am not so over the moon about...

• Climb the stairs

• Crawl at lightening speed straight for the stairs.

• Fight over toys with his brother.

• Bite me (with top and bottom teeth).


What a cheeky monkey!

Sunday 14th October 2012

Exactly one year ago today Freddie came home from hospital.

I don't think we'll ever forget that evening.

What a difference a year makes.

Here is a little video to show just how far the little man has come on...

Thursday 11th October 2012

Today Freddie had his four monthly scan at Glenfield hospital.

First all of his numbers were checked; weight, oxygen levels and blood pressure. All were fine.

Then he had an ECHO scan. He was a really good boy and lay listening to me and the lady performing the scan singing postman pat to him (no wonder it rained this afternoon).

The doctor was so pleased with the results that he told us Freddie will not
need a scan for another twelve months!

It is fair to say we were very relieved and very pleased.

Freddie's heart is working as it should and the area where the coarctation repair took place appears at the moment to be growing out as he grows.

Good news

Sunday 7th October 2012

Well Freddie has been a little under the weather recently.

He developed a chest and throat infection and so had to have a course of antibiotics.
He seems to be back on top form now however and is back to his cheeky self.

Freddie has learned how to clap and is very fond of waving (especially to his Daddy) at the moment.

Despite all of his toys Freddie's favourite past time recently is...

Opening the kitchen cupboards!
Look at that cheeky face! He knows exactly what he is doing!

And as if just opening the cupboards wasn't enough he also likes the Hoover! Monkey!

Freddie has had a go on his trike for the first time and he loved it!

I love the picture of the brothers both enjoying a bike ride.


All that exercise means a very sleepy baby!
