I've been a little bit late with my blogging - I'm up to date now though. Christmas is such a busy time and grown-ups seem to have so much to do at this time of year - I'm not too sure what it's really all about - Mummy told me it's when baby Jesus was born and a large man called Santa comes down the chimney to leave presents for good children - maybe I'll understand it more next year! I wonder if Santa will come to visit me? I have been a very good boy!

I've been sleeping much better recently in my new sleeping bag. Mummy and Daddy are keeping their fingers crossed that this good sleeping phase lasts. I've even managed to sleep through the night for the last few nights! I've had an extra heater on in my room too as it's been really freezing cold outside. I wonder if it'll snow on Christmas Day?

Merry Christmas everyone!

So I've reached my big 6 month milestone! Me, Mummy and Daddy have all had to learn so much in that time - and we're still learning! Mummy's finding it strange at the moment that all of a sudden I've gone from just drinking milk to eating food that grown-ups eat (although a little more mashed up and pureed than usual!) My latest weigh-in at the baby clinic was 13lb 8oz.

I'm getting excited about my 1st christmas - Mummy put our christmas tree up and I've been out christmas shopping - the christmas countdown has begun!

It was a big week for me - I had my first taste of solids and I quite liked it! Mummy started me on plain baby rice at first which was a bit boring, but then she started adding apple and pear puree to it and that really jazzed it up and made it so yummy! I also tried banana which I loved - but then came the veggies. They're growing on me but I wasn't too keen on them at the start, so far I've tried sweet potato, carrot and parsnip - Mummy's hoping that I get as excited about vegetables as I do about fruit - she doesn't want me developing a sweet tooth. Talking of which there's still no sign of any of my gnashers coming through yet!

Grandma and Grandpa also came to visit me this week. Daddy took us all christmas shopping at Westfield. Mummy really likes it there as it has really good facilities for me like a really good 'family room' which has changing tables and private areas for breastfeeding. Westfield has really good shops and restaurants too and I had a nice sleep while everyone sat down to tuck in to viatnamese noodles.

I'm still not sleeping very well much to Mummy and Daddys dismay - most nights I wake every 3 hours! Mummy and Daddy are hoping that when I get into the swing of eating more solids it'll keep my tummy fuller for longer and we can all get some valuable sleep!
