Going Well?!

Well all is going quite well now although I am almost scared to say so in case I Jinx it!

Bedtime routine starts at 6.15ish with bath, playtime and cuddles followed by a feed. Then into his Moses basket awake. He is now going off to sleep by himself with no crying at all! Good baby! He then sleeps til about 10.30 when if he hasnt woken by himself, I wake him for a feed before I go to bed. He is then sleeping til about 2.30/ 3.30 when he wakes for another feed then up at about 5.30/ 6ish for a quick fill up. He is then up properly at 7/7.30am. So could be better but not toooooo bad! He is also having daytime naps in his basket although he protests these loudly!!!

He has started taking his bottle again now. We switched to Dr Browns bottles which make his less windy so he is happier with (yes Nic you DID suggest this months ago)!!! Nic did his entire bedtime routine for the first time ever tonight- my little angel went off to sleep with no grizzling- love that the boys do so well together and arent so dependant on me now...

We also took Ethan to his first swim lesson on Sunday at Waterbabies, it was fantastic and he did his first ever underwater swim! Nic took him in alone and I loved watching them interact although would have liked to have gone in myself!

Now I have quit work I am getting to spend more time with Ethan. I love it and he is such a sweetiepie. He is gurgling now and making quite loud noises in his throat and mouth- some little screams and lots of giggles. He 'talks' back to me and I love this interaction. He has also learnt lots more hand-eye coordination and is putting toys in his mouth- not easily but he can and has just begun sucking his hand for comfort during the day and at night. He still LOVES his taggie which he has to have each night and during the day to cuddle in to!

Time to wake him for a feed soon! Byeee xxx
