black friday

Many people believe bad or spooky things happen on Friday the 13th... furthermore the hype is elevated by the horror movie with the same name.

Today, Hugh got his first bump when Mummy tried to feed him his bottle at Times Square. He hit his left eyebrow on the table and gave a good cry the next 10 minutes. This was the day Mummy had dreaded would happen because he loves to swing around while he's being carried and many times he would arch backward too. That's the reason why strangers aren't really allowed to nurse him.

Sorry sweetie! It hurts Mummy just as much if not more :( and all daddy could say was, "I'm sure glad it wasn't me!"

squeaky, squeak, squeak!

Daddy introduced the balloons to Hugh and he's been rubbing them with his feet making the annoying sound!

goofing around...

is Hugh's favourite thing to do.

atlantis

Mummy and Hugh brought Nana to the posh Atlantis Hotel for lunch and the valet was a shocking Dhs 150! Fortunately it could be validated at the restaurant.

The hotel had a huge aquarium with a whale shark in it!

We met Joanna andher mum & bro there.

shopping with nana

Hugh brought Nana to a beautiful nearby mall on Jumeirah Road called Mercato.

Nana has come for a visit and she and Hugh are already getting along fine.

6 months & 100th post!!!

Today marks Hugh's halfway point to being a year old! This is also the 100th post in the blog :) Writing about Hugh and his progress and his adventures has been so easy the words just flow; Mummy only wishes it was just as smooth when she writes for work!

Many first's have occurred and Hugh has developed so quickly one wouldn't have believed he was a premie. He has also outgrown a number of outfits and a pair of shoes! His latest fetish is grabbing his feet and blowing raspberries! The latter might have been an influence by Daddy and Godma Ilka.
