snippets of an afternoon nap (he'd fall asleep in transit). so we skipped story time and
i put him down and he fell asleep within a minute.
the bedtime routine does work pretty well though. it starts with a bath, sometime between
6 and 7 usually (tonight it was 5:30). we do it when he starts giving his signs - eye rubbing and trying to turn into you and close his eyes. then i top him up with milk (usually the last feed wasn't that long before)...and phil reads him stories. then he is placed in the cot, the cd is turned on (either African Lullabies or White Noise, depending on the situation) and the job is a goodun. Sometimes there is the occasional dummy call as he falls asleep but usually i just walk out of the room and go back a few hours later for a feed.
this video was taken this morning around 7:30am.
this one is of him in his bouncer...not so bouncy today but noisy!
he is looking more and more like a little boy. phil and i took a bunch of photos in whittingham today, as it was lovely and sunny. eventually some of them will make it on here. he had a little baseball cap on that came with an outfit...it's not supposed to fit yet, but the hat is almost too small. That's because my son is a monster-child!

thanks for the blog- and two videos- a grandma's dream day- it is so fun to listen to him verbalize and to see Eden in action- thanks for taking the time-
glad you are getting out a bit with Phil during his break even though he has to work on prep.
dad and i went to a lock with a small waterfall for dad to fish and to have a picnic- we will have to do that lots when you are here
blessings
mum
