Terrible blogger alert. My old blogger app stopped working and meant that I could no longer blog in the middle of the night during night feeds or sat on the sofa feeding Archie. Sitting down with the laptop at the table to write a blogpost just isn't that doable with two little ones around, so I've been a bit slack on the monthly updates. All is well here though, I can't get over the fact that my baby is 9 months old. It's a countdown until his first birthday now and that's just terrifying. I'm now not going back to work properly until September which is just such a relief. I love our laid back days so much, just love our little routine that we've settled into nicely in the last few months. I'm sad that these baby days are numbered, that our baby boy is less baby-like by the day. It's gone way way too fast, but it's like our little Albicoccs has been with us forever, I quite simply can't imagine our family without him.
Sizes: He's wearing a variety of clothes. Lots of his 6-9m stuff still fits, he's mainly in 9-12m things but some of his 12-18m stuff fits too! It's an absolute lottery trying to buy anything because it's so different shop to shop. He's in size 5 nappies too.
Feeding: Archie is finally feeding less during the day. He has a morning feed, lunchtime feed and bedtime feed every day, and occasionally another one or two feeds in between if he wants them. He still feeds overnight too. He is eating solid food like a total pro. He'll eat anything if he's hungry enough, there hasn't been a single thing he's refused to eat yet. For breakfast he usually has Greek yogurt with fruit, weetabix or porridge. Lunch and dinner is generally similar to whatever we're having, or purée if we're having something unsuitable like steak or something spicy. We were in Spain a few weeks back and no one could believe how well he ate, he definitely got a taste for paella out there!!
Routine: He has 2 naps a day now, usually at around 10am and 2pm. We try and fit them in around whatever we're doing so they aren't set in stone, but I do find that he's pretty similar every day.
Sleep: He really is a terrible sleeper still. He rarely goes longer than 2-3 hours at night, often waking up way way more frequently than that. I'm shattered, I probably only get to nap once or twice a week, but there's nothing that I can do except grin and bear it and know that it will get better one day. Henry was an appalling sleeper and even he improved eventually, so I haven't lost hope!
Milestones:
- Albi has 6 teeth, 4 on the top and those cute bottom 2. He hasn't really suffered too badly with getting them either, so that's good.
- He can crawl backwards and roll anywhere, but isn't managing to move forwards yet!! It won't be long though I don't think.
- He can clap is hands when you ask him to and thinks he's very clever when he does it!
