Weaning

H was at nursery today, so I had a day in the house, deep cleaning the living room/dining room (long overdue!) Since we were having a "relaxing" day, and he's only 2 weeks shy of 6 months old, I decided to start weaning O. I am slightly worried it will jinx his amazing sleeping habits, but he is still being quite sick and is definitely interested in food so I figured I would give it a shot. Just a couple of spoons of baby rice, but it seemed to go down well.

I also took him to the baby clinic to be weighed today - he is 18lbs 15.5oz. On checking back my notes, I discovered that H weighed 18lbs 15oz when she was 1 year old! No wonder my back is sore from carrying him around!

H is due to move up to the big room at nursery in a few weeks so when collecting her today, I got to meet her new keyworker, N, who seems very nice. When I arrived, H was sitting with the girl in charge of her current room, P. They were sitting reading a book, and P said "I'm just finding out how intelligent H is - she's brilliant with her letters, I didn't realise". It made me really proud but also sad that they've just discovered how bright she is after all this time. I hope in her new room where it's more geared up for learning, she will shine, and that going 2 days a week will help her confidence.
