Teething Thomas

Well our little boy is suffering with teething, he's only just got rid of the colic and now this has started, poor little boy! He is still very cheerful and happy during the day though and despite him still not sleeping much during the day.

We've been trying to get Mr T to take a bottle of formular milk rather than getting every feed from me all the time but he's not having any of it! He screams and screams making himself all red in the face and very hot and bothered. I even expressed milk to see if that would make a difference but the answer was still "NO!". Lots of advice has been given to us so we're trying this: I will leave the room for a while before he's hungry (so that he can't see me and can't smell my milk) and Nana will 'try' and feed him with a different bottle from the ne we've been trying with...fingers crossed!

We try and get out of the house every day and save our time at home for lots of playtime and cuddles (not sure who enjoys this time more...him or me!!??). Today we're meeting Daddy for lunch and then it's the last of our baby massage class. He loves the massage that he has everyday, we've made it part of his bedtime routine i.e after we've eaten our dinner then he has a massage for about 15-25 minutes then he has a bath, then it's a last feed and into bed by 8pm. I mentioned to one of our friends the other day that he had been sleeping from 8pm through to 4am or 5am so of course he's now stopped all that and gone back getting me up at 1am and then again at 4am....little tinker!! Will have to start thinking and preparing for weaning in the next few weeks. I'm going to try and make food for him myself to start with so I know exactly what he's getting. Exciting times as our little boy is growing up fast....14 weeks old today!!!

This picture was taken yesterday morning of him in his new dressing gown...he loves it as he's warm and snug in it!!

Daddy is off work on holiday next week and needs a rest...not sure he'll get one with our Mr T around but we'll see. Thomas and I are really looking forward to spendig time together as a family and hopefully will have a few days out and about.....can't wait!!!
