Bath time cutie

Campbell looked so cute wrapped up in his hooded towel a couple of nights ago, that I couldn't resist taking a photo....

First taste of solid(ish) food...

On Monday and Tuesday, I had a baby demanding a feed every 2 or 2 1/2 hours and getting very upset and frustrated with me! I wondered if he was starting to want more in the way of food, so bought a couple of emergency tins of organic baby food, in case of another meltdown. Then on Tuesday night, the ratbag was refusing to go to sleep, so was up when we had our own tea. As Campbell sat on my lap, he watched Dan intently as he ate - his little tongue poked out, and he was making wee chewing movements; all good signs of a baby ready ready for solids! So we got a tin of apple puree out, and offered some to him. He ate about 3 or 4 teaspoons eagerly, and ended up with some down his chin!
The day after his taste of solids, Campbell turned 5 months old! The wee man is growing up so fast!

We actually had a nice sunny day today in Dunedin, the first for many, many days! Campbell and I played for awhile outside in the grass, he loved the feel of it in his fingers!

And here's another cute photo - Campbell loves his little yellow ducky that his Grandad gave him to play with at bath time!

Campbell's first cold

I know it had to happen some time, but it's not fun seeing your baby unwell. Campbell, Danial and myself all woke up on Wednesday with a horrible cold. The poor wee bub had a temperature on Wednesday, then developed two swollen spots on the back of his neck on Thursday, so I decided to take him to the doctor. The concerned mum's fears were allayed by the doc, who looked him over and said he'll be fine in a week, and to bring him back if he got worse.
Well, funnily enough, Campbell has been feeling much better today - better than Danial and myself! We are both sniffling, sneezing and coughing and feeling sorry for ourselves, and Cam has been smiling and playing happily!
