...sort of...
Jamie has started waking (a lot!) for feeding during the night, so we thought we'd try our hungry boy on some rice cereal on Sunday. He seemed to like eating off the spoon, though I'm not sure much ended up in his tummy. (and he was up at 11, 12, 1:30, 3, 4:30 and 7! three of which were for feeding). He'll get there though. In the meantime, we can all be entertained:
Over the weekend Jamie also turned four months, and I've also realised that I never posted his 3 month shots, which were taken in St Louis. Milestones for the last two months include rolling over from front to back (just before three months), grabbing at his toys, finding his fingers, tongue and toes, blowing raspberries and laughing. He's a general charmer. Here are some of the photos, there are more in Flickr (see sets Jamie-3rd month and Jamie-4th month):
And the outtakes:
Kim may or may not have played a role in the above;)
Over the weekend Uncle Sam and Auntie Sian came for a visit. They hadn't seen Jamie since day 4, so he's changed a lot for them. Here are some pics. There are some more on Flickr too.
Jamie is 17 weeks today, a mere few days off being 4 months. He's a growing little man too. Up to 15lb 7oz and he actually got measured today or the first time since birth and he's 25.5 inches long. He's in the 50th percentile for weight and 75th for height. Hopefully he's taking after Paul's dad in the height category.
We talked to the health visitor about a few more issues too. Jamie has traditionally been a very good sleeper, including sleeping through the night or most of it for quite a while. However for the last 2 weeks or so, he's been getting up in the night for two feeds and sometimes waking up more outside of that. I thought it might be the time change or a growth spurt, but since it hasn't eased I am wondering if it's time to start introducing some baby rice. She suggested giving him another week and then trying it if he is still waking for two feeds.
We also found out that poor J has baby eczema. He's had really dry skin for a while and recently he's started developing red patches in all his little fat creases. I had to go back to see the doctor and she prescribed some hydrocortisone cream for the red patches and she also prescibed some special moisturizer, baby wash and bath oils so hopefully it'll get sorted out soon. In the meantime, I took a little video of Jamie laughing today, hope you like it:
New photos can be found in James Samuel Woodward, Jamie-3rd month, Jamie-4th month, Sugar Tree Club and Hilton Head. However, all the photos appear in multiple groups. I would suggest looking in Jamie 3rd and 4th months too see the new ones.
The photos include a photo shoot we did in our back garden before leaving for St Louis, as well as the best of the photos from St Louis, Sugartree and Hilton Head.
I haven't captioned them yet, hopefully I'll get around to that soon as well as writing some blogs about the highlights of our trip.
We are going away this weekend and spending a lot of time in the car, so I thought I'd get Jamie a new a new toy for his carseat. I wanted to try it out first to see if he'd like it. What do you think?!
