Our lad continues to grow and develop all the time!
His weaning is going great guns and he just LOVES his food. So far he has had Baby Rice, Butternut Squash, Banana, Carrot, Apple and Potato. He has also had some mixes of prepacked stuff (organic and no rubbish in) of Apple and Banana and Butternut Squash with Prunes etc (yes I think it tasted as gross as it sounds). He has LOVED it all! So far he hasn't refused a single thing. When you hold the spoon up he grabs your arm and shoves the spoon into his mouth, leans forward into it and gobbles the whole lot! He has gone from a tip of a teaspoon to three meals a day, about seven or eight spoons per meal in a few weeks- greedy guts he is! He has also started drinking a little water although isnt so impressed with this :)
Xmas was fun, he wasn't particuarly intrested in his presents but loved the wrapping paper Daniel used so played with that for ages! Shallow little bu77ers babies are LOL no sense of decorum at all ;-)
Nights are improving, we had three nights in a row with no crying during bedtime routine and going to sleep alone with no crying either, however tonight he SCREAMED for about twenty mins... we still wake him at 11ish for dreamfeed then he wakes 3ish and again at around 6am... so we are getting better although how I long for a full nights sleep!
He is a total cutie though and now rolls onto his side to fall asleep and cuddles into his taggie blanket. He is also laughing and giggling tons, especially for his Papa whom he has a great love/ hate relationship with, Papa is his favorite thing ever as long as he is happy and smiley- when he is miserable he just wants Mama.... Great, I get grumpy baba!
He is wonderful though and for all the sleepless nights, stress, rows and tears that have taken over us since his birth, nothing can beat the total, consuming love we feel for him. I really would walk a million miles for one of his smiles!
