The Tooth has Arrived…..

Started giving Jamie 3 meals a day this week. Helped along by the visit to the Health Visitor and then cousin Lucy at the weekend. She is nearly walking!! And into everything.....which shows us how much stuff we need to do before the house is Jamie-proof! Jamie seems to like what I have so far given him for breakfast – especially Creamy Rice Breakfast and he is eating more of the pots for his lunch and tea. However, he still seems to want milk as well, so I am giving him 200ml of follow on (as opposed to 240 of Hungry Baby).

Saturday he was all over the shop and investigation showed that a tooth (possibly two) is/are pushing through at the bottom of his mouth. Been giving him either Calpol or Ashton and Parsons Infants Powder which both seem to help. He has woken up in the night but thankfully has not been keeping us up too long. Daddy is still out of the house for 12 hours a day and really needs his rest!! He is hoping to keep going til Christmas and to be able to pay off some more off the mortgage, which will obviously make things better in the new year when my money runs out!

Jamie’s tooth arrived a little too late as Daddy and Mummy had only just been to the dentist. We were able to register him with the practice though so that was good. At least mummy does not have to pay for her dentist at the mo. And she has had her flu jab this week so hopefully won’t get ill over Christmas like she usually does!

Last Monday the Baby Signing group had a photographer in for the day, but I wasn’t that impressed with the photos of me, Nanna and Jamie so I have booked us all in for a professional portrait on the 20th December. Should be attempting to loose a bit of weight but really can’t be bothered. I have at least moved the stepper from the garage into the house, but I will probably only end up tripping over it!! I should have gone out for a meal last Monday with some of the (younger, skinnier, no babies) girls I used to work with, but after a (unsuccessful) shopping trip the week before; spent looking at myself in the most unflattering changing room mirrors, I decided it would be too upsetting!!!

But we have been visited by Lyndsey and Benjamin, Nicola and William, and Michelle and the Twins in the last week or so; not to mention both cousins and aunts and uncles so Jamie is still a popular little happy chap!
