And we're off!!!!

Thomas took his first proper crawl this morning and was very excited! He knew he'd done something very special and was very pleased with himself!

Mummy and Daddy are also very excited but are also slight;y worried about the new tv, all the wires etc etc etc! No peace for us anymore!!!

Clever little boy!

Someone is very nearly crawling!

Here is Thomas looking very pleased with himself as he is so very nearly crawling. He manages to get from one side of his 2m blanket to the other in no time at all. We couldn't call it a proper crawl, more of a rock and then a lunge! He also likes to open the drawers that are at his height...cheeky little boy! Looks like we'll be going shopping at the weekend for the devices that keep drawers and doors shut, oh and baby gates etc etc etc.....there's so much!

As you can see T still has some dry patches on his face but you'll be pleased to read that his body has hardly any eczema on it. We took him to see a dermatologist last week and he gave us some new creams to use and they've really cleared up his skin in the last few days....and Thomas looks very happy about it don't you think?






We're taking T to have some "skin prick" tests done to see what he allergic to as he had another bad allergic reaction last week. It happened after we fed him some Berry Yoghurt for breakfast and his skin under his chin went bright red with lots of white hives. Poor little boy goes through it doesn't he? We gave him some Piriton and his skin went back to normal in about 20minutes and it luckily didn't affect his lips and mouth this time. We have to be so careful what we feed him now becauase of these allergies, the specialist siad it's best to keep giving him home cooked organic foods until we know exactly what he allergic to....fingers crossed it's not dairy and nuts!!
