Our little boy continues to amaze us – he is standing up for great lengths of time, he’s always smiling, he rarely cries unless trying to settle himself back to sleep and he’s just starting to get his balance when sitting unsupported. What an amazing little wonder he is.
I started him on solids at five & a half weeks – baby rice, carrot, courgette, potato, pear & apple so far. This all seems to be going down well, with the number of spoonfuls increasing as each day goes by. He now weighs nearly 13lb – below average compared to a typical baby, but well within the guidelines for a baby with
Louie settles at 7pm after his bath & feed & goes right through to 4am. Then he awakes & quietly rummages around in his cot, signifying to me that it’s time to get the milk bar open!
No crying or demanding to be fed, just politely lets me know he’s ready for a smackeral!
He is babbling away just as any other baby would – lots of Doy Doy Doys & Ba, Ba, Bas!!! Lots of focus from me on practicing Mum, Mum, Mums & Dad, Dad, Dads!
Health wise he’s had his share of the usual coughs & colds and has had 2 courses of antibiotics to clear a persistent chest infection
Aside from his weight being lighter, the only other difference I am noticing compared to Louie’s brother & sister is his upper body strength. Louie’s not yet pushing himself up very far when lying on his tummy. Daddy says that Louie’s brother & sister were more vocal at this age too, so maybe just a few small & currently insignificant differences are starting to show.
What is important though, is that Louie continues to be our very happy, contented & healthy little baby boy.
