Yay for Brendan rolling over, well done him.

Christie, DS prefers food to milk if it's available. So upsetting the first time he shot off and grabbed a biscuit.

Lisa, I hope you are all right. I know I get pains from where DS has used me as a teether, is Harry into human teethers/blood because the vampires got him?

Kel, DS coves clapping the floor, my hand and kitchen objects; I always think he's too bright to hit himself LOL. It's a proper slap. He loves grabbing my hand and making me hit myself too, he is such a bully.

Jayne, glad to hear Claudia is better.

DS had his 9 month assessment yesterday and he is officially clever now. He is also so active that he has gained no weight in 3 weeks - the HV said she could see it was activity, he was walking/cruising and bouncing everywhere, but she did get a list of what I feed him every day and said to up the fats. And that it is fine to give him the odd bit of home-made toffee and chips (I wanted to prove that I was trying to fatten him up a bit).

So what does everyone elses' babies eat? Here is Liebling's menu:

Morning breastfeed, toothpaste then breakfast of baby cereal (4-5tbspn) followed by toast if he wants it.
Snack at 10ish of biscuits and water.
Lunch of what I have (cheese sandwich, pasta in tomato sause with tuna and cheese, risotto...) until he's bored, then apple/pear and feed
Snack midafternoon of fruit/bisuits and a feed, he usually snacks all afternoon going walk-snack-walk-snack until 5pm.
Dinner at 6.15-6.30, again, he eats what we are having (he loves garlic bread!) then porridge with full-fat cow juice. Toothpaste then feed before bedtime.

Sometimes a feed overnight.

Also, last night her upstairs moved out, they had their final huge row, slung furniture around, slammed doors, stomped (I'm thinking I now know why Liebs was waking so much!) and DH filled me in that him upstairs has been cheating on her. He owns the flat, so he stays. Also he has been bunking off work and doing drugs, says DH... am I the only person in the world who doesn't smell drugs on people? DS slept 8-9-9.30 (then slept in my arms in the sitting room for a half hour until the worst of the stomping finished), woke for a feed and tried to play at 4, then up just after 7. Well done him!
