Moving

Well we are nearly all packed and ready to move to our new house. I know I will feel much better when it is all said and done, which will be next Tuesday. I am also looking forward to a nice holiday in France. I am super excited that the doctor has cleared me to go skiing. I am only going to go half a day and only green slopes as I need to take it slowly. Eli is coming to the mountains with us but will be looked after by granny and grandpa. Eli has begun to eat a little rice cereal at night before he goes to bed and he seems to really enjoy it.  I am also starting to wean him to a bottle as me feeding him is not working, he is just a super hungry boy. I also took him to see his health visitor yesterday as I was worried about him last week when he was just crying and really grumpy. We agreed that he is teething, and he is not liking it. He is chewing on his fist constantly. He is also doing better at night and mostly sleeping through, only waking up once. I only hope that the move will not upset his routine. I do know that when we move he will be happier as I currently dont have time to play much with him and there is not much room to play with boxes everywhere. Also when we get back from France we will begin baby swimming lessons, i am very excited about this and hope that he enjoys it. Well i should make the most of Eli sleeping and get some stuff done.

I thought I would start a blog for those who might want to see what we have been up to. I have not been very good at update emails so maybe this will be better.

Eli is now 15 weeks old, we can hardly believe how fast he is growing. I was looking back at pictures when he was a newborn and I couldnt believe how big he has gotten. He now weighs 16lbs 7oz, he is in the 93rd% for height, weight and head circumference.

Last night he went in his doorway bouncer for the first time. He wasnt too sure of it at first but after a little while he got the hang of it and seemed to enjoy it. Last night he had one of the biggest temper tantrums so far, he just screamed and screamed at us. We changed his diaper, tried to feed him and burped him and he wasnt having any of it. He finally calmed down and then began to laugh at me, what a cheeky little boy. I have decided he is a little spoiled rotten as he needs to be constantly entertained. I am trying to get him to play on his own sometimes but he likes me there talking to him and playing with him which is hard when you are trying to pack up the house to move. 

Well I should go as he has just woken up from his nap and I still have lots of packing to do!!
