The crying is now muted and less often. He's able to go down in his cot for most of his naps. He sleeps longer at night (sleeps from 7pm - 7am with a feed at 10pm and he needs to be re-settled at about 5am, but not fed .. at least that's the way it's been for a few nights in a row.). Anyway, life is much easier.
We didn't need sleep boot camp. The reason he wasn't sleeping much is because he would wake with the pain of stomach acid in his esophagus. The reason he wouldn't go down in his cot is because if he lies flat the acid travels easier up the system when I hold him he's on an angle and gravity helps keep things down. Now I prop him up instead of lying him flat, let him play sat up after feeds and give him the meds.
I'll post a video and, if I get time, some photos from 9 and 10 weeks old (he's now 11 weeks today).
He's really giggling and having "conversations" now but as soon as he sees the camcorder or camera he becomes transfixed at the shiny sliver parts and I'm unable to capture the footage. Maybe this holiday when Nick's home I'll be able to get some better stuff, but for now.... Merry Christmas and enjoy the video!
Hitting toys on the play mat. He's learning how to work his arms and legs. If he kicks, the flowers light up and music plays. He's just starting to figure that out.
His sleeping bag which keeps him cozy during the evening and night. Less blankets that way too.
His black and white cards are his favourite toy at the moment. I call the picture of the girl his girlfriend as that's the one he stares at all the time. It's either his girlfriend or he's a stocker. I'll take the first option!
And, a close up of his eye colour as they turn more and more brown.
School Carol Service at St.Albans' Cathedral - Monday 8th December
The Haberdashers' Aske's Boys' School Carol Service took place in the Cathedral and Abbey Church of St Alban. What a beautiful setting in which to hear the many choir and congregational carols that herald the festive season! |  |  |
The choir performed, among others, Tomorrow Shall be My Dancing Day, Benedicamus Domino, and The Angel Gabriel. The robust sound of the congregational carols was further enhanced by the brass ensemble, who added fanfares and decorations to the already joyous sounds echoing round the Abbey walls.
We are very grateful to all who helped to organise our Carol Service, and special thanks go to the Abbey, for allowing us once again to use and enjoy their beautiful building.
