It has been a while since I have made a post but things have been pretty hectic. Ashley is 7.5 months old and has learnt to roll in the last few weeks as well as eat chunkier foods. He spends much of his time playing and has discovered that he can roll onto his tummy but then can’t roll back, which makes him pretty crabby. I now find that I can spend the best part of a day peeling, cooking, chopping and freezing fruits and veggies for Ashley’s meals. Although it is time consuming I find it relaxing to prepare his food, knowing that he is getting good healthy, nutritious food.
Over time I have found that Ashley isn’t keen to go out at night time and can sometimes get crabby if he can’t sleep (don’t we all), especially in the noisy restaurants. Going out during the day is a completely different story! Ashley loves to look around and all the new sights and sounds and will spend most of the time laughing, kicking his legs and making noises at all the new things he can see and hear. The funniest is when he ‘talks’ to inanimate objects, in particular anything shiny or bright colours, like handbags, posters and stacks of cereal boxes.
Ashley is also now sleeping in his cot for his naps during the day and also for the first part of the night. It is weird going to sleep without him in my bed and I still lie awake and listen to him playing with his toys and talking to himself before he falls asleep, then I will have a quick look to make sure he is OK before drifting off to sleep myself. My little baby is becoming a man!
Here is our night out at Jade Court when Namu’s Dad came to visit. Ashley really took to him, which is surprising considering he doesn’t usually take to strangers.
