Heya guys Welcome Rac & Ronan!

Went to the nurse yesterday for his 6-8 month checkup. He now weighs 7.9kg clothed! She's not that concerned with the lack of rolling since I described his other movements. I said he's always on his tummy, spins around a lot, and is almost on the move, and he goes from sitting down to his tummy. She was worried that he just sits. But he certainly doesn't! hehe. But she said to keep encouraging him to roll, as it helps with the next stage - learning to sit himself up. So we'll see how he goes.

We start swimming lessons next week! yay! I'm so excited. Can't wait to see if he likes it. He takes his baths very seriously. LOL. He does some very 'serious' splashing. No giggles... unless I laugh first.. but he very seriously lifts his legs or arms up and sends them down with a splash.

We haven't turned the car seat around yet. There's no reason we can't really. I like him the way he is coz he drops straight off to sleep. hehe. It's funny tho, I found him slumped forward asleep the other day.. work that one out! LOL. So I needn't worry about him slumping in a forward facing seat, if he's managing to do it in the reclined rearfacing seat! LOL.

Kas - we're not wrapping anymore either. It's made no difference.. he still wakes up. LOL. Altho we had a great night last night. Didn't wake until 5am, and that was such a quick feed. The only catch is.. he was in our bed! LOL. He's been ending up in our bed lately, coz he's been so unsettled.. it's the only way we can all get some sleep. I'm gonna be a typical mother and blame teething.. he's been sooooo clingy the last few days, and really distressed if I'm not the one holding him. He's been chomping EVER so furiously, and dribbling like mad. So perhaps his teeth are on the move again, coz he's not usually like this. He's normally quiet and content. He's never been a screaming baby.

I'm hoping sleeping in our bed doesn't become too much of a habit! But it's kinda nice at the same time

Food - still same old pureed foods. Altho i fork mashed a pear the other day coz I ran out of food in the freezer, and he managed it ok, so we can probably start making it lumpier. I know if he has a jar of pureed food he doesn't know what to do with it, it's too runny. LOL. I have to thicken them up for him to realise its food.

Hope you're all well. Gotta go, he's woken up.
btw.. I've updated our photo site
