Holidays,weaning, sleepovers, teeth and parties

Soooo much has been happening.... where to begin.

Holiday

We went to Padstow for a week which was fab. The weather started out lovely, then went rainy and thundery and then went nice again! Finley was super on the journey, of course. We went for lots of walks and had a lovely relaxing time. Finley developed a lovely bond with Moby. We went for a nice walk along the beach with Fin in the sling, we had to cross a stream (which was quite deep because of all the rain). Moby kept barking like mad trying to get us to hurry across and Finley laughed so much at Moby he nearly choked, it was hilarious.

On 'Apprentice Night' we had a huge thunder storm. It rained so hard we had to turn the tele volume to max. Then all the power went off and on and off and on, Lee and I were mortified, it meant we had to talk to each other!! Eventually the power came on but we had no tele reception - gutted. And as for Finley, he slept right through it.

Last Saturday Finley slept over and Nanny and Grandad B's, is first night away from home. Or course he was super fine, probably looked after far better too!! Lee and I had a good night out and a not so bad hangover the next day. Sunday was Lee's party day. Finley enjoyed all of the company. He sat happily with all of his friends and relatives having cuddles. Today was the day we found IT. Finn was happily sitting on my lap chomping on my finger when OUCH - he's only gone and grown a tooth bless him. No wonder he keeps getting whingy and having glowing cheeks!! He is now the proud owner of one shiny, sharp white tooth bottom right!! Well, we had to get him a toothbrush which he loves.

Since 17 weeks Finley as been having little food 'tasters'. We had decided we'd try him with little bits and follow his lead. Well now (age 19weeks) he has a full lunch feed, without his milk, followed by some water. He loves food! What can I say? He follows his Mummy and Daddy!!
