No I dont want my picture taken

As you can see Caiden was really thrilled to have his photo taken the other day. Kieran tried his best but with limited success. Silly baby!

Caiden Update

Caiiden is now 5 weeks. He's 8lb13 now and the health visitor says he loks wonderful. He's been a little terror though over the last few days. Screaming and wanting food 24/7. The health visitor has said that it is fine and normal and we'll have to put up with it for the time being. Should only be until 8 weeks at the longest. He has been suffering with colic for a few weeks now so feeding time is a pain. It makes it worse not being able to do anything about it to make him feel better. We just have to wait for it to pass. He has now grown out of a whole bag full of baby clothes, but it does mean he now fits into the lovely outfits he was bought. Here he is in his Pooh baby grow, only Tesco's best for our son!£4 for 3, you cant moan at them prices!

Baby Update

Sorry blog fans, not been on for ages. I've not really got many spare minutes to do blog entries at the mo. Caiden is fine and keeping us up lots. He's very greedy and will feed for two hours solid at a time. He is now very alert, taking everything in, we even saw a smile from him today, not just from wind either! We're spending the bank holiday weekend with my folks in Llanfairfechan. Thought I'd add this picture of them with Caiden last time we came up.

Tank Top

How sweet is this? I found him this tank top and we just had to have it. Rob's not sure aboout it though!

Suzy's New Chum

Suzy's now coming to terms with Caiden and enjoys nothing better than sitting with us both just watching him. She's not too keen on the screaming though.

Thank You

Just wanted to say a big thank you for all the lovely cards and gifts we've had for Caiden. I cant reply to everyone and I've run out of text credit. So please take this as a big thanks to you all from Rob, Caiden and me.

Baby Alert

Rob took some lovely pictures of Caiden today looking very alert. He's really starting to take things in now and he does seem to be looking at us and everything around him. Thought this was sweet as he was staring at me for ages.

Other Caiden news, he successfully managed to soil himself good and proper today while in the car seat. He managed to squeeze about a pint of baby squits out of the side of his nappy all through his baby grow and a sheet and in the car seat, while I was driving. Good work Caiden. He then, much to his disgust had to be stripped and changed in the boot of the landrover. Silly baby!

Terry nappies 21st century style

Well they used to be huge sheets of cloth with lethal pins, but they moved on slightly since then. All fitted for size with velcro fastenings. We've started using our reusable nappies now and they look so funny, like old fashioned swimming trunks! As you can see, Caiden loves having his nappy changed!

Caiden's Papoose

Here's the little terror in his papoose. He has now been snoozing in it for 3 hours. I have cut my head off this picture as I look dreadful, seem to have got a monobrow.

Tadpole/frog update

For those of you veteran blog fans, here is what will probably be the last tadpole update. Some have passed away, but those remaining are now tiny little froggies with all their legs. Here is a poor unfortunate specimen who drew the short straw and had to be photographed. I've given them a ramp now so they can escape to freedom whenever they like. Good luck froggies, it's been a pleasure!
