Kye finally tried the Spinach, Broccoli, Apple and Pea today for breakfast (not the best flavour I guess for brekky but it was the only one I had) he loved it!   I got less facial expressions from that than the other two flavours LOL 

Lunch was 3 tablespoons of of Pumpkin and Wild which he enjoyed aswell!  He is thoroughly enjoying his solids; sits there now happy as and is getting really good at not splattering it all over his face.  Mummy is getting more co-ordinated with spooning it in his mouth too hehe

Well yesterday was a day of trying a new combination of foods.  I decided rather than doing the vege myself (as I think this has something to do why he is waking up at night) I thought I would buy some Rafferty's products instead. 

I thought to eliminate my theory I'd just give him the Rafferty's stuff for brekky and dinner - no fresh vege and what do you know he slept through last night.  I didnt have to get up to him at all, so conclusion I'm thinking maybe fresh vege is still a wee bit too harsh for his gut at the moment. so for now I'm going to continue with the Raffertys brand for a few more weeks then reassess.

OK as for the flavours I brought there is one sachet of Banana, Mango and Pear, another sachet is Pumpkin, Sweet Corn and Apple and then another one of Broccoli, Spinach, Apple, Broccoli and Pea LOL the last one doesnt sound that appetising does it LOL but we shall see if he likes it.

I gave him the Banana, Mango, Pear yesterday morning for brekky and he LOVED it!!  He ended up having 14 teaspoons of it hahaha and for dinner he had a taste of the Pumpkin, Sweet Corn and Apple one and loved that one too!!  So I will finish those two off then try him with the 'green' one, that shall be interesting!! hehe

Another clever thing he did yesterday,  I was driving in the car and he was grizzling,  thought he wanted water so I gave him his water (in a 125ml bottle) couldnt hold it for him of course cause I was driving so I tucked it down the side and when I looked in the mirror he had both hands on his bottle and had tipped it up and was drinking haha.... I was so proud!!  He held it for ages too and even pulled it out of his mouth when he wanted breaks haha... I thought that was pretty clever but I guess he has started to hold onto his milk bottles lately so its all the same to him!

Its nearly 9am; just realised he has been asleep for an hour and a half... omg!!!  this is sooo good and best of all he is in his COT sleeping... hooray!  I have managed to get some housework done which is great! 

It's a windy day here today so no swimming for us today :(

Oops spoke too soon the boy is awake, gotta run!

Happy New Year!!   Well its the 4th of January but anyway, better late than never I guess LOL

2009 has started off pretty good.  Kye has been his usual good self.  He is really loving his day naps now, I have even managed to get him sleeping in his cot during the day, OMG!!  Generally he will sleep anywhere from half an hour to an hour a half now after each bottle during the day which is just fantastic.

I decided to give him pureed carrot to try on New Years eve, added a bit of farex to it to dilute it down a bit and of course formula so it was runny, he seemed to enjoy it.  Was opening his mouth when the spoon approached and happily kicked his legs. All good signs I guess :) 

Yesterday I decided to give him a change and gave him pureed pear.  He REALLY loves pear!!  I've been putting it into ice cube trays and freezing it.  Yesterday afternoon and this morning he ate two cubes each time, yay!!  Have one more lot of pear to eat then I think tomorrow we will try zuchinni, am going to mix it with a bit of carrot so its not so bland, we shall see how that goes!  Must remember to take some pics to post too, the facial expressions are hilliarious!

Anyways gotta shoot hes just woken up... till next time!

Well today I decided to try Kye with some pureed pumpkin and sweet potato.  He managed about a teaspoon LOL  He took it well I thought but he did have this look on his face like "what the heck is that you're giving me" .... was priceless!!  Will offer it to him just once a day for the time being I think, build the amount up before introducing something else for him to try.  I think once he gets going he will be into everything, the texture must be so funny for him.

Mum brought him a swing today, we put it up outside this afternoon.  He was cracking up laughing as we were putting it up, dunno why... I thought it might of been because of the colours.  Its mainly red (which I think is his favourite colour) but has a bit of yellow on it aswell.

No swims for us today.  Weather was a bit cooler and it was quite windy.  Kye and I went for four swims yesterday LOL he is loving the pool, cant wait to start his lessons in the New Year!

Anyways he is asleep, I have apple pie in the oven so must dash and eat my portion before he wakes again!

Kye has outgrown his capsule for the car and is now travelling around in his BIG car seat!

It looks massive in my tiny beep beep (Barina) but he is loving it as he has extra space and isnt as crammed anymore.  It also has alot more padding and sits up higher so he can now see out the back window :)

Kye had his 4 month vaccinations today and he was such a good boy, didnt cry at all.  I was so proud of him.  He slept for an hour and a half straight after having the shots and has been napping on and off this afternoon.  I was quite surprised, I was expecting him to be a little grumpy but yeah he was fine.  Had him in the pool tonight; had a quick swim to cool down then went in the shower for the very first time.  He loved the shower, cracked it a bit when he got out though LOL

We are starting swimming lessons in the New Year.  I'll be taking him to an indoor centre at Robina.  The pool is heated all year round, cant wait to start!!  He is enjoying the pool here at home so hopefully he will continue to get more and more confident in the water.

Anyways thought I would just update this as its been a while, it's now bed time for me so nitey night!

Well its a gloomy day here today.  Had a huge down pour of rain overnight. Pool is almost overflowing LOL 

Kye has his first cold :(   is a bit snuffly in the nose.  Was up to him a few times in the night; he was finding it hard to breathe so kept having to spray saline solution into his nostrils, that stuff does wonders!  He has sneezed a few times this morning so it is obviously working.  He was a lazy boy this morning and didnt wake up until 7:30am (usually wakes around 5am) so I'm guessing he needed the extra sleep LOL

Yesterday he slept for longer blocks; really only woke up when he was thirsty.  I am thinking today will be the same, he has been asleep for an hour and a half which is so unlike him, usually its only between 30-45 minutes at a time but its good as it gives me time to do things.

Was meant to be starting Mums and bubs yoga today but dont want to take him out in the cold so will have to start next week now.

Well its 10:30am and I am hungry, off to make myself something to eat!
