Last night was a good night. He went to sleep at 7pm and didn't feed again until 3am (and probably didn't even need it then but he wasn't going back to sleep and I decided to intervene. He had woken at 10pm as well but I went in and put the static on. He was awake and chatting to himself at 7am. I love my angel.
It was good, no crying in the night and only one short feed at 3am. Now that is progress seeing prior to that he has only done one 7 hour stint and that was months ago. He has been a very active night owl. I have never let him cry a lot but I am happy with that. I think tiredness has meant that lately I have left him a wee bit more, but not much.
We are going to Plunket today so will find out what he weighs and his height etc. On Monday Rita from Plunket came to Brigid's house in Idris Road and we had good chats about solids and sleeping.
Felix hasn't started on solids yet. I am putting it off; partly because I can't be bothered, Secondly, because he isn't asking for it as such. Thirdly because they say anywhere from 4 to 6 months and lastly, I am reading Baby-led weaning and I am keen for him to eat with me at all meals and have food put in front of him that he can play with and/or eat when he is ready and wants to. I will try it and see how it goes.
Here is my angel this morning in my bed:
This was him yesterday in my bed.... he is a happy little man with a big heart!
And he is in big boy pyjamas now...
God he is beautiful!
And he loves his MorMor...
Last week at his antenatal group he became very interested in books... I read to him quite a bit now. He is into Hairy Maclary and friends - a set of 6 gifted to him by my supervisor/psychosynthesis therapist.
He is getting more and more curious and alert...
AND I am curious to find out if he is still in the 95th percentile. Look at those thighs!
and that is just breastmilk...
If looks could melt butter on a frosty day....
He lies awake a lot chatting to himself these days. I love it.
Right.. it is 2.46pm and Felix is back in bed. He slept this morning for an hour, and then went to babytimes at the library and plunked this arvo. he managed a sleep in the car in between and I went to Copenhagen for a pie! And to visit MorMor in bed with a cold. We are down with yukky colds!
Felix is now 8.8kg and 67 cm long.
Janine could only find one testicle but it was up very high and she wasn't certain that she could feel it so has referred him to the GP and he pay have to have surgery when he is two to bring them down if they aren't retrievable. No son of mine is going to have no balls!
Until next time xxx
