Nearly 4 months!

Hi there

We have finally had our second immunastions and we have been so good....in fact heros! Reuben had a terrible cold which was on and off for nearly 3 weeks, it did not help that everyone around him was freely giving their bugs to us. Daddy still suffering very badly with a cold. Anyway, R has not even bat an eye lid when the first injection went in and then for the second he screamed a bit but as soon as we left the nurse;s room he was happy and smiley. We also had some porrege for the first time today. The book says to offer him as much as the tip of the spoon but he just kept on opening his mouth for more so we had about 4 small spoonfulls and loads of milk afterwards.....so here we go WEANING SHOULD COMMENCE NOW and perhaps will put on some weight too!!!

He started to love his baths with mummy. Now every time he hears the bath running he just wiggles and screams with joy! And in the water he just wants to swimm bottoms up and he is off to swim with the ducks. He screams and talks in the bath until he starts yawrning so we know he has used up all his remaining energy so he can be baby massages and fed (if enough energy left) and sleep should just happen.....

I also changed his milk to a stronger milk at night as he was getting up every 2 hours for feeds. NOw its pretty much every 4 hours! So this is good.

Here some pictures! Ah the sad news is Annamaria and Heni are leaving so.....I guess no more cuddles with them for a while they have been so much help. Also our nanny should arrive on Wednesday....hurray!
