On 31st May we finally got to meet Fergus Whittle. Blog aBeckett readers may remember a post I put on the blog in Feb; "The Amazing Dr Whittle", about our friend Helen who was pregnant with Fergus at the time. Well Fergus arrived on 8th April and we've been super keen to meet him and of course show him off on the blog. As you can see from the picture above Fergus is a real cutie. I figured his cuteness must come from his Mum (pictured to the right with Ben). But have recently seen some rather alarming photos which suggest that Fergus is an apple fallen close to the expansive branches of his father's tree. 
We had a lovely time meeting Fergus and catching up with his highly capable parents (Jock is pictured above with Ben). Already Jock and Helen have had more trials and tribulations than any new parent would want. Poor little Fergus suffered a brain haemorrhage when he was only a day old and subsequently needed surgery and an extended stay in ICU. But not only is Fergus cute, he's also strong and brave. He pulled through and is now feeding well, smiling at his lucky parents and generally being a most lovely little baby.
Fergus is so obliging that he quietly went to sleep while we were visiting. He tucked himself up next to his new Granimal (Simon the Lion) and didn't wake when Ben mushed him on the face with his hands, cardboard boxes and anything else he could find. Lucky this kid's made of tough stuff.
