Being Momma G: Day 153

After a few busy days, we had a day in today.

Sean was slowly but surely learning to sleep through the night. He woke once at 2.30am for a feed, and I did a bit better at staying awake this morning, dozing for only a few minutes. Jonathan moved Sean back to his bed and we all slept until 6am. Jonathan brought the little man into our bed and we had some cuddles for a while before we got up and had some breakfast. Jonathan left for work soon after, and Sean gobbled down the sweet potato, pear and rice cereal mix I prepared for him.

After Sean went down for his morning sleep, I settled in for a relaxing day at home. A load of laundry was washed and hung out on the line to dry, the cleaned laundry was put away, the dishwasher was loaded and later unloaded, the bed was made, and I even had time to wash my hair and have a long and luxurious hot shower. All because the little man slept for 3.5 hours. Yes, you read it correctly - Sean's morning nap turned into a big sleep!

Being Momma G: Day 152

Our little man is 5 months old!

In the past month, Sean has gotten taller and stronger and smarter, and much much much cheekier. The little man has started to recognise faces, and he grins and grins and grins when he sees his Daddy and his Mummy.

Sean is now on solids, having started eating real food a few weeks ago. Sean has been introduced to the delights of vegetables and fruit, and our hungry little man just gobbles up everything that is put in front of him. Every day, Sean gets 3 meals of solids, each meal consisting of 3 cubes of food and a tablespoon of rice cereal, and sometimes, he will thump the table as if he is asking for more! There is now a wide selection of vegetables and fruit to choose from, having sampled pumpkin, zucchini, carrot, sweet potato, apple and pear. I am having lots of fun making the food too!

Our little drooly monster is drooling more than ever. We are going through at least 5 bibs a day, and I seem to be washing all the bibs every second day! And we own a ridiculous number of bibs!
