We have been to see the specialist and Elsie is allergic to Milk Protein, so she is not allowed any dairy products but she is also not allowed, soya, goat or sheep products or eggs, so weaning is going to be a bit of a challenge!!! But its good now as she seems so much more content since she has been dairy free.
We went to see Grandma last weekend and had a wonderful time, we saw Nanny Maureen and Daisy and Sam and Auntie Fiona and Nanny Daffodil.
Mummy and Daddy took Tilly to the sea lfie centre and she had a wonderful time, it was the first time since Elsie was born we have had Tils on her own so she felt very special!

Funky Friday!

Today we have been quite busy although we have not done anything too interesting, Matilda has been a monkey today, like all children she has her good days and her bad days but today she made an extra effort to be a monkey!!! She spoke to Grandma and said 'My been a rascal today Gan -ma'
We started the day with some painting, Only Granny came round (with the carpet cleaner she had hired for the cottage and Mummy was borrowing) and decided to paint a little spot on Matilda's Tummy and Matilda retailiated by painting her whole body and arms Metallic Green like a crocodile!!!

look at My arms Mummy -Me a crocodile -Snap snap!!!

Iam so clever look at me!!! So proud of herself!

The girls on the walk to town!
Baby Elsie is all grown up! she loves her new buggy!
Closest Tils is going to get to going to Winchester House school!!! She is trespassing on their land...telling me I wont be able to catch her!!!

I will only come out if I can have a noddy magazine, a pack of Smarties a tin of pineapple and Iam allowed to put the chickens to bed.- she is getting very good at bargaining!!!
We had to walk to the shops and get Elsie's prescription for her new milk, so we walked slowly and stopped to look at every single thing on the way!
Iam going this way Mummy...Argghhhhh!!! - Sound of Mummy pulling her hair out!!!


Then we got home and changed the chickens straw and changed their water...Matilda climbed in to their run and topped up the feed!!!
Matilda closing their door ready for bed!
We are missing Daddy while he is away but he seems to be enjoying himself and has passed his shooting exams -although I dont envy him as he has to camp in a field for a few days and most places round here are on flood alert!!!
Uncle Charlie is coming up on Tuesday night after work and taking us back down to Brighton for a few days it will be great to see everyone, especially Grandad Gray as he has been in Hospital since the day Elsie was born and has only met her briefly for 20 minutes about 3 months ago so that is really exciting as he is back home with Nanny now.

One wednesday Elsie had her Hospital appointment with the Gastro pediatrition, and she has been diagnosed as Dairy intolerant, This will hopefully stop the digestion problems she has experienced since birth, she has been prescribed a dairy free formula to take for 3 weeks to check that it is the dairy and not fish, or soya and then when she is 6 months (in 3 weeks time) she will be able to have soya milk. the only worry now is that she is allergic to eggs too, so we will just have to wait and see.
