Weaning, Sleep etc

All has been busy in the Hanekom house!

We have started weaning Ethan and have given him a few first tastes now! He has tried Baby Rice (wasn't keen on this really), Butternut squash (a firm favorite) and Banana (this was a thumbs up too)! He is so funny and grabs the spoon to shove it into his mouth- only problem is sometimes he shoves too hard and almost chokes himself!!!

Sleep got quite bad and the method pupd routine was just rubbish! So back to CC (Controlled Crying) and making sure he goes into his cot proper awake now. Had some bad and good nights. Last night he went down at 7pm woke at 9.45 but he wasnt due his feed yet then so CC til 10pm when he fell asleep. Woke him at 10.30pm for dreamfeed. He then woke at 1am but again wasnt ready so used CC and he went back to sleep til 5.20am! He hasnt gone that long between night feeds since he was tiny! Maybe we are on the way... or maybe he is just teasing us LOL :)

Anyway- he really is amazing and is so strong. He can hold his weight standing easily, just has poor balance! He really is happiest standing up as he is so inquisative and it means he can see everything then.

We took him to a wedding Saturday and he came to watch Olympia on Sunday. He was such a good boy and totally charmed everyone with his huge smiles :)

I love him soooooo much!
