Hello all, I'm still around although I feel like I've been ill for about a month - one thing after another. Dd has it now. I took her out this morning in her brand-new carseat and she was sick all over it. So we didn't get to her swimming lesson. And ds (the 9mo old) is rather disgruntled at having been indoors practically all day. He does like his new carseat (vacated by big sis) though. Still facing backwards but its a 9mo-4yrs one so its high up and he can see out.
Ds is still refusing to eat anything with lumps in off a spoon. Does anyone else have this? He can eat fingerfoods but he is very selective about what he'll bother with - cheese, rusks, toast, broccoli. Everything else is eagerly grabbed, chewed, and spat out.
He is occasionally sleeping through now (well, 7pm-7am with a 10:30pm feed). Sadly he and dd have only co-ordinated and both slept through on the same night, once.
Sterilise bottles? Nooooo! Don't do it! UCH don't recommend it, even for premature newborns.
What else? Ooh, he is finally sitting. Hooray! So much easier. I've told him he needn't think about crawling till after Christmas. Actually, after Easter would be good. I'm dreading the toy squabbles when he can help himself to whatever he wants.
A meetup would be lovely but I don't think I have the energy to drag me and the fruitlets into London. Plus dd is at playgroup in the mornings. I meet with Futurity at swimming, does that count?
