CUTE - 5 MONTHS 1 WEEK 4 DAYS OLD

Finally today I changed a normal poo nappy from a baby that wasn't on Colief or Infacol. How amazing is that!? Oscar is less windy but still sicks up a little bit. He isn't in any type of routine but still has roughly 3 naps a day and that's all I can say really. I know at the same age, Leo and Ellis were both in a good routine and I knew what to do when but it just doesn't make sense to do that this time as Oscar needs to be more flexible as I have to drop off and pick up at various times etc.

Oscar is lush! I love him so much. He is such a cutie pie and screeches with joy most of the time.

I'm really gutted about the lack of blogging, especially when it comes to looking back over Oscar's early days as I haven't done much on here or my main blog. Rob said it was consuming me so I took a step back and already regret it. I want to get caught up now but other things keep getting in the way.

I'm still a fatty and I'm pretty sure the skin won't go back anyway but my not so healthy eating isn't helping that. What I need to do is some exercise and then once I start seeing a difference, the eating will follow.

Oscar is now in size 4 nappies which is much better and he easily fits 6-9 month clothes now. He is so dribbly but no teeth yet although I can see them just below the gums so not long now.

I've been having more success with expressing and Oscar is now taking a bottle. The only problem is timing it right and giving him the right amount. My milk is like liquid gold and in short supply so you can't just heat up 8fl oz only to give it to him and he falls asleep after 1oz! Not sure what to do about all that yet but at least we are trying and Rob did give him a bottle last night. He did wake though and I topped him up.

He his getting more mobile and at that stage where he rolls on to his tummy then gets fed up but can't work out how to roll back, even though he can and does sometimes. So I'm putting him in his chair a bit more now and he seems happier with that but I would rather he learned how to roll about better so I keep going with the tummy time.

Can't believe I'll have to start weaning in a few weeks. How on Earth am I going to fit cooking and batching up food into my timetable. The're aren't enough hours in the day as it is!

Bought a bed for Oscar this evening and I just have to sort out the mattress. Can't wait to put him in it. He really has outgrown the crib and generally sleeps in with me anyway. Not sure if I want to put him in his own room just yet though as night fees (well 5am feeds) are much easier led in my bed. Plus it would mean moving Leo into Ellis' room and I'm not sure when to do that as Ellis is starting school soon and I don't want him to have too much change all in one go. I have to give that some thought.

Going to really try and do some blogging. Fingers crossed.
