Millie's Milestones

SHE might be less than three weeks old but it looks like Millie has opened her own shop at Stansted Airport.

Daddy was just about to catch the plane to Berlin when he caught sight of the shop frontage.

He knew no-one would believe him, so he took the adjacent photo with his camera phone.

A catchier name for the shop might have been "Millie's Muffins" but the cookies certainly looked tempting.

As well as baking and selling cakes to customers, Millie has probably been eating a few cookies herself.

She put on another 24 grammes (one ounce) within the past 24 hours and now weighs 1.376kg (rough guesstimate 3lb 3 ounces).

The nurses have upped her quantity of milk again.

Millie is now receiving 23ml (4 1/2 teaspoons) of milk every three hours and continues to do well on all fronts.

The Special Care Baby Unit is busy again with lots of babies.

Millie now has six other friends for company in the Winnie the Pooh medium dependency room.

Meanwhile, Mummy is a dab hand at nappy-changing while Millie is on her lap and does so much more quickly than daddy.

Daddy is still all fingers and thumbs.

But mummy has a sneaking suspicion that he pretends to find nappy-changing difficult in a vain attempt to get out of doing it.
