Lunch Update

Just as a follow on from the previous post. Caiden hated his roast squash and screamed so much I had to take him out of the chair and give him just milk. He then fell asleep. So maybe not total hatred of squash but just tiredness. Silly baby will have to have something else for lunch later.

Caiden's Halloween Pumpkin

Here's Caiden with his pussy cat jack-o-lantern. Didn't want to make it too scary. Quite a good one really as they eyes I cut out made good cat ears. He seemed to like it anyway. He's even got a miniature autumn squash for his lunch, roasted with olive oil garlic and rosemary. Blended to a pulp obviously.

Just stuff

Caiden had a health visitor visit on Monday and was weighed for the first time in ages. He's 15lb 1 now and is going up nicely on his growth curve. Now he's over six months he's having more variety in his food and enjoying petit filous for pudding. His Nana has bought him a pumpkin for Halloween which I shall cave into a funny face. Hope it doesn't scare him. Took this picture this afternoon of Caiden in his bouncer. I videoed him too as he found it hilarious when I jumped in front of him.

Weekend in Wales

Just got back from Llanfairfechan after a good but windy weekend. Bloody hell it blew a gale over night on Saturday! Caiden didn't sleep well as it was so noisy. Didn't do a huge amount really but did go to see my school chum Emma who's just had a baby girl called Sali Mair five weeks ago. I've put a picture up of them. We also went to see my Nana and Rob and his parents went to collect their boat from Pwllhelli for storage over winter. We got stuck in the ludicrous A55 traffic on the way home. Got a few busy weekends planned now as Rob has a stag do next weekend and then the wedding the following weekend. Busy busy busy!

What a Bargain!

Bought these in a junk shop in Bedford this week while with Kate for less than £10! They're 6 Royal Doulton dinner plates with their matching serving dishes. What a bargain, I love them. I also got some beautiful silver plated serving spoons and some other bits and bobs all for just over £10!! I love junk shops! Off to Wales this afternoon to see my parents, sounds like it's going to be a bit blowy in North Wales this weekend.

I'm staying in Bedford with Kate until Thursday as it's her half term hols. Brett took this last night of Caiden and me. The meat feast on Saturday went well except for being ill after too much champers. Whoops! Caiden spent his first night at his Nana's on Saturday and it was a success. Slept right through. Good lad.

Our Game Feast

Vegetarians look away now! Tomorrow we're having some friends round for dinner and we'll be consuming a feast of local game. Here is the plate of the dead in all its glory. The rabbit on the top is not moldy by the way its the only bit that has been in the freezer and still has a few bits of ice on it. Can't wait!

Snoozy Rob with his Mini Me!

Just took this of Rob with Caiden on the sofa having a doze. Thought it was very cute.

Cot Success

Here is Caiden first thing this morning having slept from about 9 until 8 in this cot without the moses basket. What a good boy!

Blog slackness rears its ugly head once more

Sorry not done this for ages again. On the Caiden front he is now moving about, well sort of. He rolls around and can find his way from where you put him down to another area of the room alarmingly quickly. He is still sleeping in his room, but an attempt to get him to sleep in the actual cot failed last night as he threw up all over the cot sheet as we put him in bed. Everything else is ok here i think. Suzy has a new bed, which she actually loves. It is an old wooden box with a rather expensive faux fur cushion inside. She has no room to sleep in now at night as Caiden's room is shut, the lounge is shut to stop the hamster being eaten and our door is closed most nights so as she likes this old box Rob bought a nice soft cushion for it. I've posted a pictue of her in her posh bed and two of Caiden. He's coming up to six months now!! Can you believe it?!

He's a big boy now!

Here's Caiden this morning after his second successful night in his own room. We have no cot sheets yet so he's in his basket in the cot, but he's slept like a log for two nights. What a good boy. He's always like this when you get him up, so you can't sneak in without him noticing if he's awake.

Kate's Birthday

We have spent the weekend at Kate's for her birthday party. It had a 90s theme and I dressed as Madonna. Rob bought a Nirvana t shirt and some black combats and a pack of glow sticks. Caiden was a bit of a pest as his lunch had disagreed with him and he spent the evening throwing up and crying. Obviously not his fault really. We all had a great time except on Sunday morning when I had to don the rubber gloved and unblock Kate's toilet u bend as someone had stuffed a whole quilted loo roll in it! They had also smeared sick all over the bathroom. Lovely these house parties! Anyway a good time was had by all. here's me in my Madonna gear. I didn't take any pictures so I got this one from a mate. Caiden is still loving his solids, the faves at the mo' are banana for brekkie and sweet potato for dinner (with garlic of course)!
