Well eden and food are certainly getting along! His new favourite seems to be baked beans. Except both times I've given it to him, he's been super tired...so he'll grab the spoon, go to eat it and then start rubbing his eye, which meant that spoon was 'rubbing' the other eye and spreading baked bean chaos!!!! I had to get it out of his eye lashes and his hair....but he was happy.

this morning he started to clap!!! he was in his baby bouncer (jolly jumper) and kept stopping and looking at me...i clapped, which always makes him excited and bounce more (which did) but then i looked up to see that he was clapping! he did it a few times, but then i couldn't get him to do it anymore...mostly because he was put off by my reaction i think!

the following 2 pictures aren't great ones, but he's just so happy being able to sit up and play on his own. i can leave him for ages. and if he tips over, so long as he has a toy to play with by his head, he's happy!

I'm starting to plan flying with him. I'm hoping to get to a carboot sale on the weekend with phil to stock up on small toys... we'd go bankrupt if i bought them all new. 

And...the news is...Eden now weighs 19lb 15 ounces!!! A seriously heavy baby. Heavier than all but one of his baby friends (who are all older)...and only 4 ounces off the heaviest!
