Well I took Daniel to be weighed yesterday, and at 21 weeks (+2 days) he was a whopping 19.6lbs!

He has leapt from the 75th percentile to between 91st and 98th! What a big boy.

He is currently wearing 4+ sized nappies (I'm pretty sure Ava was nearly two when she wore those!) and he's wearing 9 month sized clothing.

It's not the most flattering shot, but here he is sitting across my lap after he finished his third bottle of the day. (Taken just now)



The health visitor wasn't worried about his weight, she said he'll slim down once he's more active.


Now he's watching Ava who is watching tv.

These days he loves his activity centre, he'll spend ages in there attacking his toys.

He's very happy almost all of the time and only gets grumpy when it's time for his bottle.

He makes noises as if he's trying to talk, but the only consonant he uses is "G" so occasionally he'll say "Goooo"

He sleeps very well at night and is in his own room. Last night I only had to go see him once around 6am.

He loves chewing on EVERYTHING and I'm sure he's teething.

He's getting better and better at figuring out how to use his hands and he has favourite toys that he likes to pick up and chew.

He loves Ava and smiles at her all the time :)

Ava is growing up way too fast and now goes to preschool 4 days a week (3 hrs on Mon&Fri, 5hrs on Wed&Thurs) She's due to start big school in September!


She's a good little helper when I ask her to get me a cloth or something, but she's really stubborn and when we ask her to get her shoes, or get dressed, she just won't do it. We've introduced a reward chart which has been going very well so far. We're just about to start the third week.

Uh oh - barf disaster, must run!
