That 'Morning' has finally arrived!!
Everyone tells you about that special 'Morning', the one where you wake up, look at the clock and go into shock when you realise OMG it's the morning and you haven't been woken by a crying baby. YEAH it finally happened this morning, after his second night in his own bedroom.
As usual Finley was bathed, fed and in bed by 7:30pm. He didn't take all of his bottle and when he woke up at 8pm we thought we were in for a 'bad night'. But he settled straight back down and we decided to go to bed at 9pm - 'just in case'. That seems to be our motto at the moment!! Well I heard Finn murmuring and it was 4:30am!! The shock, he hadn't had all of his night feed and missed his late night feed, surely something was wrong. So I went a made him a bottle and gave it to him - 'Just in case'. He then went back to sleep and we even had to wake him for his 7:30am feed!!!

Jab, jab OUCH!
Yesterday the little man had to have his first set of immunisations. We had been advised to dose him up with calpol an hour before but we decided to go cold turkey (evil parents). Finn was an absolute angel, of course. We arrived at the docs and decided to weigh him first. OMG 12lbs 10oz, no wonder I'm getting muscles like a body builder (well that was a slight over exaggeration). Finley has put on 2lbs 5oz in 16 days, although this is a lot he is now exactly where he should be on 'The Graph', which is a complete pain in the arse and makes all new parents worry for no reason!! I advise any new parent not to look in their 'Red Book' and just enjoy their baby!!
Well after we weighed Finley we went to see the evil nurse, who is actually very lovely. He had to have two needles on in each thigh. My poor little man let out a little whimper when he had each jab and looked at me teary eyed as if to say "Stop her Mummy, please it hurts". I actually think it was far worse for me a Lee than for Finley.
After his jabs we had a chat with the HV about a few things and we have now got an app for Finn to see the physio. Finley has always preferred to sleep with his head to the right but over the past few weeks he hardly ever turns to the left. We have been really encouraging him to turn to the left over the past few days and it seems to have worked. He is currently asleep turned to the left, HURRAY!!! Hopefully it wont be a problem but better to be safe.
We have decided that tonight is the night that Finley gets to sleep in his big bedroom all by himself. I never realised how loud a baby can be when they sleep. He grunts, groans, cries and even squeaks yet he's fast asleep, which, I hasten to add his Mummy and Daddy are definitely not!! Hopefully all will go well as he is used to his cot by having his daytime naps in it!!

Sleep.... and that is what again!
Finley is a very happy and contented little baby and he has always slept well. We prided ourselves in the fact that at 2 weeks he practically slept through the night - the health visitor even told us we had to wake him up for feeds (yeah right!). Well now I'm shattered, Finley now goes to sleep at about 7:30ish after a good play in the bath. He doesn't normally wake until 12-1 ish and goes back to sleep fine and then its a 'cot party' from 4 until 7 ish. Oh yeah Finley decides to wake up and then he can't decide what he wants - he wants feeding, then he wants rocking, then he wants his musical toy on, then he wants his dummy - OMG he's as indecisive as his mother!!! We have even tried waking him at 10:30 to give him a feed, stupidly hoping it would see him through the night, and would the little rascal wake up? No chance, we changed his nappy, tickled his hands, feet and face, even poked him and he was still fast asleep! Oh well, the joys of parenthood!
Today we have got up and got dressed, Finn in one of the only babygros that still fit him, he's grown so much. I put his coat on to go for a walk. He was all buttoned in, looking nice a cosy with his hat on when he looked at me, gave me a huge 'melt your heart' smile, turned his head and promptly threw up all in his hood. NICE!!

Splish Splash
Finley is 8 weeks old today - he's growing up so fast!! He has started to giggle and talk, his favourite word as AGOOH, which we have to repeat back to him everytime he says it (poor thing).
Last night he had his first 'big' bath with me. He loved it, he happily kicked away and it was far easier than having to sort out his baby bath and lean over. Tonight he has enjoyed a bath with Daddy, he loves kicking his legs about and floating in the water - he will be swimming soon!!
Today Finley went to see all his baby buddies (or rather I went to see my Mummy buddies). Finn spent the whole time asleep only waking for a quick feed, having a sneaky nose around before promptly falling back to sleep. Today he has hardly been awake - will he sleep tonight? I hope so as the hall carpet needs cleaning tomorrow so I need a good nights sleep to prepare for the carpet cleaning session! What fool left a bin bag full of dirty nappies on the landing for Moby to 'enjoy', ermmm .... maybe me!! Pooh just clashes with a cream carpet, OOPS!!!

Finley enjoys having his hair washed, although it takes ages to dry - he has so much!
