Nine months now


Roy is travelling along well. Unfortunately he had a fairly average holiday to the beach this year. He had a heavy cold, so was not his smiley self. He's mostly over that now.

He had a birthday party to attend today, and was keen on the watermelon. As you can see, he is also keen on lamb cutlets.

His big sister is much more excited about playing with Roy now he's a lot more interactive. Bath time MUST include both of them now, so no quick baths in the baby-bath anymore for Roy. He is also a necessity whenever we go - anywhere basically. Roy-Roy-Roy (which is what Sheena calls him) has to tag along, even if it is just into the kitchen or down to the rumpus.

He started one day of creche last week, as I've been planning my return to work in May. He was fine about it, but didn't sleep well. Particularly in the afternoon. He is the sort of baby that can manage on a short nap, but I am not the sort of mother to encourage that, so I hope that he can get used to it enough to rest well.

Unfortunately for me on the work-front, I've been made redundant, and got a payout, which I only found out on Tuesday. I am feeling very neutral about it - not excited, not devastated, just it is what it is.
