Close Encounters of the Feline Kind

Here's Caiden this evening having a nose to nose with Suzy who was at the time to trying convince anyone who she could find that she was suffering from the debilitating feline illness of 'empty bowl syndrome' Caiden of course was unable to assist. On the weening front, he's now having slightly lumpier food now. We sometimes have coughing issues and retching but overall he's doing well. I discovered that he loves pesto sauce and also Nutella when he stuck his hand in my toast this morning. He certainly liked the outcome when sucking his fingers afterwards. We're off to a wedding on Saturday of one of Rob's mates. I hadn't got anything to wear for a wedding so I had to pop to the life saver of all skint people Tesco and buy a little black dress, which is actually lovely and will do for lots of things. Will post pictures after the weekend. Caiden will be spending Saturday and overnight at his Nana and Grandad's around the corner, hopefully he'll behave again and his nasty cold will have gone. Happy Christmas shopping to you all!!

Feeding himself, sort of

Here's Caiden this morning feeding himself with his handled bottle. He was quite good but did get a bit lazy from time to time and then threw it on the floor. But it's a start.

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.
