The Incredible Hulk

Spinach and Mushroom omelette followed by avocado, tomato and melon. The avocado was actually eaten although by the looks of his face and the state of his tray you'd have not thought so! (bit like picking up soap the avocado)

Yesterday we went to see his cousins, out we went to the park and he slept the whole time in his pushchair, its like been pushed around in a big sleeping bag his pushchair so not surprised he slept so much. He's started to not like been left in a room on his own or with people he's not familiar with, like for example i went to put his pushchair in boot of car and he started to cry and his so sympathetic 3year old cousin Lucia shouted at his to shut up! (oh sorry i mean Violet not Lucia as she likes to be know - you know the incredibles??)

OH OH OH nearly forgot!! HE NOW WAVES BYE BYE! Small things are big in my world, very proud moment, don't think hes ever going to crawl though!

Fully Rehydrated Raisins YUCK!!!

After been so good yesterday at eating his fruit pancake his nappy was a joy to change (NOT) he obviously doesn't chew everything that goes in his mouth, the reason i know this is that his nappy contained some fully rehydrated raisins!

Today we've been to toddler group with his little mates. He's kinda in between, baby group is now too little for him and toddler too big, he showed off his skills in his baby walker and it gave me great pride that he was the only one that can go forwards (Baby Olympics starting)

I go from one extreme to the other about his eating, I'm now worried he is eating too much. He eats most meals offered and between 28-32oz of milk per day, i thought once that they started eating properly that they dropped their bottles off??

Oh and hes eaten melon today!

Everything is a Adventure!

Who have thought that walking your walker under the dinning room table would have been so funny?? Isn't amazing what entertains them? Also he's found that the plant in the corner need pruning! Oh and that cupboards open and shut, i do worry about his fingers!

Spag bol for tea with Daddy as Mummy was at work until 930pm, he looks like the enjoyed it! Think spag bol gives him wind, you could hear him trumping down stairs on his monitor! Such a polite boy! Of course Daddy thought it was hilarious, don't think he found it funny when he woke up at 1030pm to fill his nappy! Been trying to get him eating fruit and not had much luck, offered him all sorts - pears, kiwi, grapes, prunes, apples, raisins and asda exsp nectarines that cast a fortune! Only thing he ate was pear and raisins. Made a pancake and hid some fruit in it seem to be a hit, i think persistence is the key and making sure they are very ripe!

Finally i can go back to monthly contact lenses now i have stopped breast feeding, bf made my eyes dry so was unable to wear them, I got new ones one order THANK GOD!

Why we follow BLW! NO THANKS I DONT LIKE SPOONS!

530pm dinner
7pm 6-8oz milk
Approx 28oz-32oz milk per day

From the new routine that i wished i'd have changed him to months ago he sleeps though and no dream feed - so there was a good thing come out of the horrible bug he had!

Friday was a day with Grandma H and Saturday mostly with Daddy, when Daddy went to watch his beloved Sheffield Utd football team he went to Grandma H's. Daddy foolishly let him sleep for 2h30m in the morning so bottles we a little out of sink, suppose I'm gonna have to get used to people not sticking to my strict routine (I know i know I'm very anal and only like things doing as i say - i always write a list and this time i didn't!) Until toady I've not really missed him but after 2 days away from him and a quieter day at work, I'm glad I'm home tomorrow!

I know i go on over kill sometimes with the photos but i can help myself!

Weigh in!

16lb 9oz

He's lost some weight but no real surprise there with how ill he was. Gonna have to bulk him back up, he's eating better but not a he used to. (that forward facing car seat seems so far away 20lb's min)

Last night he had big selection of veg and some salmon for tea, i did make a fatal mistake of giving him corn on the cob early in his meal which meant he wasn't interested in any thing other than that. He at loads of it and his nappy this morning proved it. (very funny watching at 8month old tucking in to corn tho)

I feel like i give him the same meals over and over again, but i do think that I've become reliant on what you know he likes.
