and another rainy day...


life has gotten so much easier in the past week and a half with eden learning how to sit on his own. suddenly he can be left to play for much longer, being much happier...he was never really into lying on his back...

he is becoming better co-ordinated every day...now i put a selection of food on his tray and he completely feeds himself...he'll even keep going back to dropped bits. 

todays lunch was toast with dairy free marg, steamed carrots and tomato chunks...it was  a first for bread and he really liked it...

unfortunately the introduction of food is causing some very bad nights as his body struggles to learn to digest it....particularly now that we've begun the transition to lactose free formula. he takes it cold, thankfully, so we don't have to faff too much...but its a learning curve for all of us!!! fortunately i have friends who bottle feed who have introduced me to very helpful equipment!!! and to the fact that i needed faster flowing bottle tops!

how fun- dad said to me first thing there is a great blog from Shirah today- it was fun watching Eden sitting up and playing- looked like he was in his bedroom-
i am sure it will take a while for his body to get used to the formula and new foods-
looks like a rainy day here as well-

is Eden's hair reddish or is it just some pictures make it that way?
thanks for the nice way to start my day
