Kirsty updates!

Gosh I've been so lax at updating this lately. The past 3 nights, Kirsty has only woken once through the night for a feeed - such a clever girl! Long may it continue!

On Saturday night, I started giving her a little bit of babyrice before bed. Seeing as she refuses bottles and dummies, I wasn't sure how she would be with eating from a spoon and having something other than booby milk in her mouth - I needn't have worried - she loved the process of being spoon-fed! The rice was very runny and so I don't think she actually ate much of it as it kept escaping from her mouth Last night I made it slightly thicker and as soon as I came through with the pot & spoon, she knew what it was!Again I don't think she got too much of it. Tonight I thickened it up a bit again and she loved it! She managed to eat some. Only a few spoonfulls but it's a start - my girl is growing so fast - eating real food

Her last weigh-in with the health visitor was Thursday 7th May, and she was 13lb 11oz. I thought sure she would have been over the stone, but not yet - probably is now! We'll find out on Thursday coming.

She has started really giggling now, it's so cute. Here's a link to a video from last night, who would have thought the sound "uh huh" could be so amusing

Today Kirsty found her thumb! She finally figured out how to suck her thumb, she has only done it about 2 or 3 times for a few seconds, but it's cute, she sounds like Maggie from the Simpson's *suck suck suck*

And to finish off, a photo of her looking so proud, sitting up in her Bumbo chair

  1. She is SO adorable! I am glad that she is liking her spoon feeding of the rice and is starting to sleep more through the night. I love the picture as well. Bumbos are just too cute with any baby in them.
