Week 12 September – 18 September

18Sep08

12th September

This is Ollie in the bath!  He LOVES the bath :)  We recently bought him this bath support because he had outgrown his baby bath and this way James or I can take a bath with him and not have to worry about him falling under the water etc.  It’s great and he seems [...]

My little man sleeping on his play mat.  Actually he isn’t sleeping.  He is peeking sneakily!  He kind of sleeps with his right eye open ever so slightly.  I think he is afraid of missing something!!
6th September

Ollie’s very first pair of shoes.  He never had any shoes, I always just put him in socks [...]

Aptamil is the formula of choice for Ollie… he has had no problems with it and it seems to be easy enough on his little baby tummy.  He goes through a whole box every week now though!  Eek!  Can you say chubby baby?

Ollie’s bedtime routine has not been going well…  in fact it has been going awful!!  I have to give him credit where it’s due for going to bed earlier.  He is going to bed at around 9 at night and I give him a feed again at 11.30 before I go to sleep (sneakily, so [...]

A letter came in the post reminding me of when Ollie was scheduled to have his jabs!  He gets them at 2, 4 and 6 months.  1 set of jabs down only 2 more to go!  I wonder will Ollie be wiser the next time and be more upset because he knows what to [...]

Ollie had to get his first set of vaccinations today!  Poor baby!  He got all the normal ones… tetanus, polio, meningitis C etc etc and he was so brave.  I really thought he was going to howl but he didn’t… he only whimpered a bit.  My brave little soldier :)  He has to go [...]

Today was hubby’s first time with the baby carrier.  We had a lovely Sunday.  We walked to the nearby village of Rathmines and it was so hot and sunny outside that we had to stop along the way to buy sunblock for Ollie.  We haven’t had it in the house yet because you just don’t [...]

Today while we were shopping I bought a new Baby Bjorn baby carrier.  It’s WONDERFUL!  Ollie really enjoyed it.  He seemed a little unsure for about 5 minutes and then he loved it.  It is so much easier than pushing a pram because you have both arms free and its also nice to hvae him [...]

Today Ollie and I met James in Herbert Park (local to his work) for a picnic lunch.  I brought crisps, pesto pasta, olives and salami and some nice lemonade.
Ollie also saw his first duck pond… I thought he would be more excited but to be honest… he slept the whole time hehe!  All the ducklings [...]

Hubby has a hobby making wine… we have tried some weird and wonderful concoctions and last August I made my own… it was an elderflower and tea wine… kind of desert wine-ish.  Anyway… as we were trying to concieve at the time we saved just one bottle and said we would drink it when [...]

Today I took the opportunity to photograph Ollie when he was lying peacefully in one of his relaxed, quiet moods… of which there have not been too many in the past week.  I love this photo of him.  It makes me realise that there ARE times in the day that he is not crying.  I [...]
