Hey,

Well we have had a rather nice week this week. Not a lot new to report.

* Josh has been an angel at night. We changed his sleep bag and is now sleeping from 11pm ish to 7-8am. Nice hey. Thanks Al for the sleeping bag.

* He is eating a lot more so we are getting prepared to start weaning him. I know it's a little earlier than the 6 month recommendation but if your child ate as much as ours does you to would consider.

* Still swimming and loving it.

* Still talking loads.

* oh yeah a little disgusting but on Saturday he did the biggest poo nappy in the world. It took me 7 baby wipes to clean his bottom!!!!

Until next week, bye

This week has been rather rewarding for both Del and I with Joshua. He has started to really grow in his personality and spends most of his time trying to talk to us and laughs with or at us. It is so fab and brings a tear to the eye at times.

* We went to Richmond park on Sunday for a picnic. The weather was fab and Josh just loves being outside. He and i went in the car and daddy rode his bike and we met him there. The first picture was taken at the park.

* We went and looked at car seats for Joshua. He is growing so quickly and will soon be out of his. The second picture is him a sleep in the car on the way to the shops.

* Twice this week we have given him a bottle and both times he has held onto it himself. He is only 15 weeks!!

* I bought him a teether as I think his teeth are on the way. He like to chew it if we are holding it otherwise tends to spit it out. It is one in the form of a dummy. Renee my brothers girlfriend told me about them and they are just fab.

* Learnt a little trick this week. Use olive oil on your babies head to help with cradle cap. We have been doing it and it really works. Put a little on at night after bath and then wash his head in the morning. Highly recommend.

* Joshua has started to put everything in his mouth. We must be very careful and watch him closely.

He is a real little man and makes life so rewarding.

Take care,

Hi there,

Josh has been a total angel by day and little troll by night(a loveable troll of course) He has this thing at the moment about his own bed. I spent one night walking the floor till 4am and had to get up the next day at 8am! He has had two other nights up till 1-2am. Not sure what is wrong.

* Looks like he has started to teeth, he is chewing everything and drooling loads. He also loves to suck on our hands and our necks!!!

* Another week swimming and again he is doing great. We start the next level this Thursday.

* Had him on his tummy on the bar and he did a complete 360 turn around. So funny and cute.

* He is nearly sitting alone. Can do it for a few seconds and then he falls back or to the side. Amazing how strong he is.

* Still rolling over from tummy to back and vise vesa. We must really watch him.

* He has been such a happy chap and now makes this strange noise when he laughs(a bit like a dolphin) so cute.

As always could go on forever,

Love to all
Deb and Del

Sleepless in Notting Hill

Well our beautiful boy has been not so beautiful latterly..... His latest game is to cry non stop when he is put to bed. Just two weeks ago he had got himself into a great sleeping pattern, and was being put to bed at 10pm and woke for first feed about 7.30am.

Wednesday night I was walking the floor with him until 4am! Not happy as you can imagine, especially as we had a 8.30am start Thursday morning. Last week we blamed the weather but it has now cooled down a bit so not sure what is wrong with him. He did the cry thing again last night but we managed to get him to sleep at 11pm proberly because we kept him awake most of the day yesterday.

Well hopefully he will settle down and start sleeping again, I know I could do with some sleep....

Have a great day and any tips or advice would be great..

A bit late this week with this but better late than never....

* Started baby yoga and he just loves it. We practice at home and he just laughs so much. Will get some video for you all.

* Has been rather sooky this week, crying a lot, but we think it is the weather as it has been averaging 30 degrees the past weeks.

* Had his second injections, and yes as you can imagine did not enjoy to much but was ok after the event.

* We took Josh swimming but the small pool was closed so he had to go in the big one with us. He is still loving his lessons and just loves the water.

* He is now rolling from his back to tummy and the other way, so all eyes are always watching, we don't want anymore rolls off the couch.

* We made plaster casts of Joshua's feet. We thought it would be simple but not so. The instructions say use warm water, tip of the week don't! First attempt no good, second attempt not great but with some tape we made work and finished product not bad.

So yes again we have had a busy week.....
