Baby Vee is now 22 weeks and boy, is he making his presence felt!

He now has two teeth through. It took a few weeks of constantly trying him on solids before he'd actually open his mouth for the food but now there's no stopping him. At a barbecue on Wednesday the boy actually took a chicken leg from his Dad's hand and started eating it! He especially loves plaintain with broccoli, or sweet potato, but I'm trying to get him used to plain potato with carrots. I haven't given him any meat yet (apart from the chicken leg!), but as Hubby is a vegetarian I'm not too fussed about it.

He started sitting up a month ago, and now he rolls over and gets around on his back. He's not too keen on being on his front - I think he gets frustrated as he can't get to what he wants quickly enough that way - but he keeps rolling over so he'll have to get used to it!

Although I've changed his feed to the hungry baby formula, he's still waking in the night for a bottle. It is only once though, so I'm hoping he'll sleep through shortly.

Son No 1 has chickenpox at the moment so is at home. The other morning I came out of the shower to hear them talking. I didn't thinkmuch of it as I assumed they were in my bed. No, they were in Son No 1's bed.....BUNK BED, that is!!! My heart nearly stopped when I saw Son No 1, then Baby's head looking down on me! Luckily, he hadn't dropped the baby but I had to tell him that he can't do that as Baby is fragile. I couldn't really tell him off too much though - he dotes on his brother, who adores him.

That said, he really is my pride and joy. I just love seeing his little face light up when he sees his Mummy and his Daddy (he'll be a Daddy's boy when he's older - see how ungrateful they are

).

Maat,

I remember Son No 1 getting frustrated in his walker. He used to pick the thing up and try to barge through doors! Bet it's nice seeing that smile, though.
