Well, it is already much better today. I moved the baby gym into the bathroom, so that I could have a long bath with a cup of coffee and the New Scientist. Thomas behaved impeccably. Then I thought I’d try feeding him some solids before his first nap, and he sucked up [...]
People have commented on how alert Thomas is, like I’m sure most babies get, but he’s so bad that I can’t even turn the tele on without sound while breastfeeding him, as even the noise of the static across the screen makes him stop feeding and turn around to look. Also, yesterday, I took [...]
So thomas had his first haircut! We carefully photo documented it, in case he lost any ears or facial features along the way!
Before:
Here we go: (he looks a bit worried now!)
Just the finishing touches:
And finally… the new look:
He looks fairly resigned to the new style, but he didn’t complain at any stage, so [...]
I got some pictures developed – yes – the old-fashioned way – and this lovely picture of Thomas with his Oldemor (great-grandmother) appeared. There were quite a few good ones, so I’ll make a gallery and post them.
So we are starting our 2nd week of weaning. Today Thomas had some sweet potato. He seemed to like it, but didn’t eat very much. He was very tired, actually, and fell asleep straight after, so that could’ve been the problem. Also, he is starting to hate sitting in his bouncy [...]
So Thomas had his first apple today. To be honest, he didn’t seem that impressed, but I think it’s because he was too hungry. I mixed a bit of breastmilk in with it, which got a few mouthfuls down him. Then I fed him properly (i mean a breastfeed) and then he [...]
So, day 5 of weaning, and Thomas had a little bit of pear today. I think he liked it. I was supposed to mix it with baby rice, but little Plans wasn’t in a mood to hang around.
In fact he’s been a little fractious today. He has patches of dry skin all [...]
Strange. I was just looking back at some of my posts, and I note that on the post where I say “12 days to go” we had just been canoeing the day before, and as Thomas was 8 days early, that means we were canoeing 5 days before he was born. No wonder [...]
So, this is occasionally a record of what Thomas and I are exposing ourselves to with regard to tv, music and books.
I have just read The Time-Traveller’s Wife, . I didn’t like the first 25 pages, as it starts off like a mushy love story, but then it starts to get a bit more [...]
So Thomas had his second ever solids yesterday, which was still baby rice, but it was thicker this time, and it felt a bit more like the real thing. I’m hoping to get around to carrot puree today or tomorrow, but shock horror, my ice cube tray doesn’t fit in the sterilliser! I’ve [...]
