This day I love.......

My gorgeous blue eye boy had his 9 month check up today.  Whilst he turned 9 months 6 days ago I felt like today, after his check up, would be the best time to write up his update.


Little Man is genuinely one of the happiest babies I have ever met.  He smiles at everyone, and get lots of comments on how lovely his smile his.  He has a particular fondness for men with beards and for ladies, although he has never seen a lady with a beard so I cannot comment on his reaction to this.   For ladies or bearded men he gives the biggest smile and even does his happy jump!

He has a really cheeky personality and now objects if you take something away, will through a massive diva style strop if he doesn't get his own way and separation anxiety has begum to creep in.  In his soul he is full of adventure, wanting to get places and see everything never stopping still.  He has mastered pulling himself to standing and walking with furniture, and recently is even able to transfer from one object to another.  His favourite however is to climb, and you can see his little legs going trying to climb up things. 

With 2 new teeth at the top trying to make an appearance, Little Man is struggling with sleep and napping.  We will get our routine back when they come through and bring his total up to 6!

Currently Little Man prefers finger foods and will eat pretty much everything put in front of him.  He has regained his weight and gone back up to the line he was born on, after dropping off the charts so solid food seems to agree with him.  He has however turned into a bit of a fussy eater and will only eat home cooked food and not food from a pouch, unless it is fruit or veg puree.  

Little Man loves clicking his tongue and copying sounds.  He is a very chatty little boy and one with a huge personality!

My little baby no longer seems a baby!  He is growing into a gorgeous little boy full of curiosity and with the most gorgeous smile.  We have lots of comments om how happy and chilled he is and he really is.  I could not ask for a more pleasant and happy baby.  

This past month seems to have been all about firsts, he has had his first go on a swing


His first time in a shopping trolley [bad picture I know]


His first race




His first finger foods


He can now crawl and loves to chase the dogs

He loves his feet!

His first arena show


He has now got two bottom teeth and the top four buds are showing so I don't think they will take much longer.


Little man now has three meals a day.  Porridge in the morning with fruit fingers or toast, for lunch he has bread sticks, fruit and veg sticks, cheese and some of those finger puff crisps, I also give him a Petits Filous fromage frais, as they are a good source of vitamin D and calcium, both of which are vital for bone development, as he is now having less milk and it is important he has Vitamin D.  He will have what we have for dinner and he loves beans on toast and chilli con carne!  Between lunch and dinner and before bed he has 7oz of milk and another milk feed around 11pm.


He has 2 to 3 naps during the day.  One around 9am for about an hour, I tend to use this time to tidy up and get a bit of housework done.  Another nap early afternoon around 1.30 ish and this can be any length from 10mins to 2 hours.  Dependant on this he may have another nap around 4ish.  His bath he demands around 6-6.30 and he knows after this it is bedtime and will sleep until his feed at 11.  The past few weeks he has started waking 2 or 3 times in the night after 11 but he was sleeping though until 6 so I am not sure why this is happening.  He normally wakes at 6.30am and is certainly not a morning person.  Little man is also trying to pull himself to standing and if it wasn't for his left foot turned under him he would be standing.


Things Little Man love this month includes

- Pulling his sisters hair!
- Bouncing in his Jumperoo
- Chasing the dogs
- Chasing balls and playing in his ball pit
- Stroking chins


He loves men who have beards and all ladies [with or without beards!], he gives them very big smiles.  He gets excited when he sees someone he knows and his arms and legs wave and his whole body jumps up and down!


 He is such an amazing Little boy and a real pleasure to be with all day, I am looking forward to the next month.  Both his sisters started walking with furniture at 8 months and I wonder if Little Man will do the same?

We all have felt uncomfortable with ourselves at some point. It can be something with our body, the clothes we are wearing or just a general feeling of uncomfortable. When a child experiences these emotions they may struggle to understand them and struggle to find a way to portray them. Children can often relate to stories they have read and often by reading these stories they feel less taboo, and children can feel more open and willing to talk.

Introducing teddy by Jessica Walton is a book about being yourself. Erol has a best friend who is Thomas the teddy bear. They do everything together and each day is a new adventure and new fun to be had. One day Thomas is sad and it takes him some time to tell zeros why. Thomas has always felt in his heart he is a girl teddy and not a boy teddy and is worried how this will affect his friendship with Erol. Erol acts as any good friend would and says to him it does not matter, all that matters is they are friends.


I love that this story touches on such delicate issues, yet one which is very important in today's society. It is done in such a beautiful manner and it really highlights the true meaning of friendship. The story is a wonderful book to read and one which helps to open up the doors to taking about problems, enabling children to be themselves.
