So, I discovered that there is a baby clinic at the GP surgery in our village. Seeing that we didn't fall under the catchment area of our previous surgery anymore, I decided to take Puppy to baby clinic, and at the same time register with the new GP. Turns out that the HV at the surgery is actually based at the baby clinic which I used to go to. We bumped into Pamela who was from the council and had a good old chat with her. She remembered us from when we first saw her, and absolutely loves Puppy. There was another lady with her little boy who was there before me, apparently she was lamenting on the fact that there weren't too many baby boys in the village (hers is 8 months old). I didn't get to talk to her much, but as I was filling out the registration forms to join the surgery, other mothers came in with their babies - all girls! We started chatting with Tracy who had come with Halle (turned 6 months on 20th October), and she told us about some baby groups in the area. All being well, we might join her at baby signing next Monday. There was also a 10 month old, and another very mobile crawler who came in - it was rather amusing half watching (half filling in form) all the babies play together. The older folks who were waiting for their doctor's appointment certainly seemed to enjoy themselves - one elderly gentleman even came up to Puppy and played with him. As usual, Puppy seemed to take in all around him. He even cried when one of the babies had to go.....awww...
