Nearly 5 months and we are 17lb13oz...still above 91st centile. Health visitor still shocked that she has 5-6 bottles a day, including through the night as well as porridge and purees. Gannet!! Progressing onto 2 meals a day now. So far she's tried my purees of cauliflower, broccoli, sweet potato, butternut squash. Broccoli was not so loved...see photo below!! She loves Ella's kitchen pouches too. And she usually gets a chew on whatever fruit we're eating. Cherries were a hit. Expensive taste!
We had our first swimming lesson, she was pretty happy. I hated the mayhem of afterwards though, nowhere for anyone to put babies whilst you get dried and dressed and they're all cold and hungry....not fun. Think i'll just take her myself from now on instead of classes, we are going to the newly refurbished commonwealth pool this afternoon. Hopefully get some photos if cameras aren't banned!!
We also went to Edinburgh zoo which was fun especially seeing the pandas...not so fun pushing a buggy up vertical hills in that heat!! We got some photos of the four babies and of course Ella and Ava held hands again....BFFs! Lol.
Ooh we got new wheels. I've never been so excited over a buggy, especially since it's our fourth now! Was fed up of struggling on kerbs, cobbles and buses with the Quinny zapp xtra. We then got cosatto yo stroller but the angle of the handles hurt my shoulder so I now have an out n about nipper 360. Its amazing, huuuuuge tyre wheels, lightweight, robust, and funky looking! Ella seems comfy too...of course lol.
Ella is still rolling about like a weeble. Except she still only goes one way...wish she would learn how to get back onto her back. Its no fun waking at 4am to flip her back, as well as night feeds and general waking to be settled again. Every night is still so unpredictable! Zzzzz
Think granny beanie is off work now so we will get a break and leave ella for the night. Woohoo. And we have a trip up north to nanny and grandad's which will be fun on the train :-) so looking forward to it. Need to find clothes for us to wear for a photoshoot whilst up there though...aghhhh.
We have a few mummy meet ups planned over the next few weeks, a baby first aid course, meeting people I went to school with for the first time in years and our first family holiday!! We are taking a trip to a holiday village called ribby hall in blackpool. So excited. We're just going for three nights with kev, jackie and aidan and staying in a cottage. And hopefully seeing Luis whilst down there too.
Woop exciting few weeks ahead :-)
