Visiting

Well the lovely Tom has been around England visiting friends of mine and their family's. He has loved watching all the children come and go and has really started to 'play'. Mainly just grasping, holding and dropping, but at a very intent rate.

Bad news is that he is still not sleeping well in the night. Because of our visiting, I've had to keep feeding to keep him from waking the household, but as of this week we have embraced not only Gina Ford but also control crying. We are on day three and so far so good. Have decided to keep him to four breastfeeds a day (rather than Gina's 3) and to limit his daytime sleeps to 3hrs total. That's hard waking him up when he's asleep, but then he has no qualms about doing it to me (hehe). We have definitely had more sleep these last two nights, but I think we still have a bit to go.

Other than that he's on three full meals a day, trying new veggies and moving onto weetbix with milk for breakie. Still has the snuffles and the doc has given me this mini inhaler to give before bed to help him sleep. I have to put this mask over his face and attach the inhaler and he goes gosey eyed trying to focus on it.

The picture shows Tom in a 'bumbo' doing his helicopter impressions. He also loves blowing raspberries (particularly food flavoured ones) and trying to stand.
