Growing Bundle of Joy

Brody is now too big for his carry cot so has  advanced to his pushchair. It's funny taking him out when he can see the big wide world. He just stares and looks around taking it all in. I tend to chat away to him while we are walking explaining what things are and laughing with him :) Some people must think I am a bit loopy (think I am maybe not spending enough time with other adults lol) It's great having a pushchair that faces you as its lovely to interact with him. Must seem a bit of a big scary world to a baby.

He has had his four month check up by the Health Visitor and is at the 97th point on the chart for his length and the 75th point for his weight so a long lean boy she says :). He seems more hungry now and he is nearly 21 weeks. I have started giving him some baby rice once a day as well as using the hungry Aptamil milk for two of his feeds and hopefully this will keep him satisfied until he is a bit older. They say that weaning should start at 6 months but some mums tell me that they have also found this difficult. There is plenty of info about weaning so if we just take our time I think he will be fine. It's not like I am giving him mince and tatties !!!!! He is enjoying his baby rice as he takes the spoon from me and sucks away on it with a wee gurn when it's all finished. Think we will advance onto some puréed carrot in a week or so.
