BabyB was 9 months old today! We all had lunch at Frankie & Bennys to celebrate, BabyB sat really well for the whole meal in a highchair and playing with a balloon!
BabyB is learning new things every day... he seems to really be on a learning spurt! In the last fortnight he has learnt how to wave, and now waves byebye! MummyB is delighted!
His walking is getting really good - he uses his walker and is much more competant at controlling his movements... of course there are still some tumbles but usually when BabyB is distracted and trying to do too many things at once!
BabyB has also really started to enjoy playing games with his mummy & daddy. His new favourite is the chasing game, when he will crawl off at a rapid speed, giggling and squealing as he does so because mummy or daddy is chasing him!
BabyB's loving side has really started to show itself as well. He was poorly last week, and started giving us proper cuddles, which although it was sad because he was ill, it was really nice to start getting proper hugs from him! BabyB is also getting very obliging in giving kisses - Daddy gets lots when he gets home from work!
BabyB is babbling lots more, bababa seems to be his favourite at the moment!
He is changing so much, in the last month alone he seems to have developed so much.

Poorly Boy
Oren is poorly :o(
He seemed to come down with something on Saturday afternoon, just being very grumpy and off his food. By the evening he had a temp over 38 degrees and he kept crying during the night.
Sunday he was still cranky and by the evening he still hadnt really eaten, and his temperature had climbed to over 40 degrees. We had been giving him calpol but his temperature just kept coming back. DaddyB called NHS direct who got a nurse, and then a doctor to call us back and give us advice. Sunday night we were up several times with him and he just kept burning up and wanting cuddles.
Monday morning, he woke up just before 8am still wouldnt really eat, still screaming, still had a temperature of 40 degrees. I gave him medicine again and put him back to bed by 9am, rang DaddyB & rang to make a doc appointment for him at 11am. DaddyB came home from work, but Oren got up at 10am and his temperature was gone and he was happy playing… I felt like an idiot for calling DaddyB and making a doc appointment. We took him to the doc anyway, who confirmed that Oren seemed perfectly healthy and must have recovered from whatever he had.
Oren seemed ok for the rest of the morning, and then went for a nap at about 1pm. However, when he got up at 2pm his temperature was back to over 39 degrees and he was screaming his head off. We had to take him back to the doctor in the end.
Just been up again through the night with him last night, and he seems to still be poorly. We can only keep giving him the calpol and stuff until the end of the day, and then he is maxed on what he can have so Im hoping this fever breaks today.
Its a bit scary and heartbreaking because he is obviously not well and we cant do much to make it better :o( Get better soon little man...

Balancing Act!
Has been an interesting couple of weeks, both this week and last I gone back to my job to do a full days paid work – just a Keeping in Touch days.
This week it involved going in for a team meeting, and I was facilitating part of the day. I also had Oren with me all day, so it was a bit strange having to wear both hats at once.
Oren was an absolute delight all day though. He loved crawling round the hall we were using, chasing the other little boy who was there, playing with everything, climbing up everything… bless him. I enjoyed doing a role play whereby I got to carry Oren around like some shopping... he enjoyed it too!!

Oren's 8 month check
Oren was a star for his check up today. He passed all of the developmental milestones with no problem at all, being very obliging in demonstrating his ability to sit up, pull himself up, hold his own weight, crawl, etc etc.
His weight seems to be stable now – settling just below the 25th percentile. He is obviously going to be dainty like his mummy! He weighed 17lb 13oz. His head measurement is similar to his weight, coming in just under the 9th percentile – although the health visitor couldnt help remarking what a lovely shaped head he has!
Oren is obviously going to be taller than average though (although we had guessed that already!) as he is between the 50th & 75th percentile for his height - 72cm!!
Oren now doesnt get another health check until he is 2 years old, of course he will be coming with me and his little sister for all of her health appointments in a few months!!

Nooooooooooo!! and snow!
Oren started shaking his head today, which is very funny!! Not sure he realises it means no yet though!
He also went for a little walk in the snow with Mummy, and finally seemed happy to be standing in it!
Today was also a snow day, which meant Oren got his second taste of snow! He went sledging (didnt like it!)
and helped build a snowman (liked the snowman!)

First time in the snow!!
I had my first time in the snow today!!! Unfortunately Daddy put me down to crawl, and I ended up with my face in the snow, and grazed my nose on some ice!!!
So after that I was not very keen on the snow, as this photo shows.....
I liked standing in it with DaddyB though... it was better from a distance!
