Still frustrating stressful times

Well it's been an eventful couple of weeks.

Jack's not been feeling too feel the last couple of days more cranky and more fitful sleep. I've been on the receiving end of his ends a few times, the pooing has been like each time I say it can't be any worse the next day it has been I've seen him poo more times than I really wanted and some people have never witnessed the act with theirs. Just how does a baby that is what two feet poo something that's nearly two feet long.

Came home the other day and picked him up after he coughed and made his choking sound after he'd been walking from the lounge to the kitchen whilst I held his hands above him. 

The poor little fella threw up all down my arm that's the worse that's been too....oh hang on I've not learned from my experiences above there have I.

Worked from home today and he's had really hot little cheeks not sure if it's teeth coming through or what having trouble getting him to sleep, but he did fall asleep cradled in my arms which was a nice change just shame daddy didn't work out the logistics of putting him into the cot the right way and cradled him in his other arm.D'oh.

We've sort of had the first bit of Jack responding and repeating a sound we make....a raspberry! this tickles me no end BLLLLEEERRRPPP how exactly do you write a raspberry sound. Quite funy to see all his spittle going everywhere hey little things hey?!

We've got him a groovy xylophone which he enjoys bashing and he's taught himself to bash the pop-ups with the beaters to make them fly out into the air.

Works been a bit stressful of late think people are making poor choices about things. Had a good day out with Paul and Tim around London I was very drunk indeed.

Sues doing ok bit tired but more lovely every day  she says pass the bucket.

Biggest bath ever

We took Jack to the Tottenham Leisure Centre today for his first visit to a swimming pool they had a nice kids pool with a gentle sloping floor split into to two sections. JAck got changed with Sue and we met outside , his eyes were like saucers - Wow that's the biggest bath ever...He loved it he had his water wings on and we swished him around in the pool like a fish he splashed around and laughed a lot, we really had fun, float on his back and front he held his head up very well didn't cry and didn't splutter on too much water. In the pool for about an hour i think. 

We went over to Lidl to pick up some shopping ( some idiot drivers in there) then onto to booker to pick up sweeties for the wedding.

Got back rigged up some guttering for the lean to at the side stop the water running down the wall and cleared up the garden rubbish into the big green waste sack.

I cooked a lovely tea tonight got the offer from M&S I had the scallops and chorizo for starter sue had a goats cheese tart then steak and chips with some salad then begian souffle for dessert together with a lovely bottle of red wine, malbec. Oh heavenly. what a day

Toothy

Whilst holding Jack the other day he likes to chew daddies fingers more ouch than usual this time as our little boy has his first tooth breaking through at the bottom. Hmm might have to not let him chew my fingers anymore.

He's a bit like a meerkat at the mo.

We've got a new mattress for his bed but not sure he likes it as it hasn't solved his waking up throughout the night as i hoped (ok very slight hope but hey) and we now have trouble putting him down to sleep maybe a few days time when he getting used to it.....please....

Getting better at the walking when you hold his arms he can make it to the kitchen now.

8 months old today

Little Jack is 8 months old today and he's not so little anymore.

It's snowing tonight. 

Went to morrisons to do some shopping and have some lunch, there were more small children than ever before eating so only got a high chair without a tray on, so we pushed him close into the table. He started to try and eat the edge of the table so we moved him out a bit. He's also started doing a rocking backwards and forwards thing so these events combined to him headbutting the table with a loud bang. Ouch he seemed fine as sue nipped in quickly to distract him with Mr elephant I felt a bit queasy.

Oh and he's snoring like a trooper at the mo. (snuffy nose and a bit of a cold perhaps)
