Merry Christmas

Sorry, I am a few days late but its been so busy with Christmas and all the family here! Murray had a super day with his cousin Adam and got spoilt by everyone!

Its been so nice having my mom staying with us and Nikki, Matt and Adam staying just down the road from us. We have been to the beach a few times, been on some walks, played in the park and Adam and Murray are becoming best friends fast! Adam is very sweet with Muz Bun as we call him. They have even bathed together a few times!

Murray is officially now sitting which is so exciting. After about 3 or 4 minutes he eventually does fall over, but he is sitting which is so exciting!

We are off to our friends Jill and Pat's wedding on Saturday (New Years Eve) and leaving Murray for the first night! Good luck to Nix and mom who will be baby sitting! I hope all goes well... as for us... we can't wait for the wedding!

Till next time... Happy Holidays!

Cute at 5 Months!

So another month has gone by, I can't believe my tiny baby is 5 months old today! He is so cute these days and doing new things every day. He now sucks his toes, as you can see in the picture on this post. He reaches for things all the time. So far, Shelley's dog Coco, his friend Aidan, my keys, tea cups, cell phones, basically anything I hold he wants in his month. So sweet!

He now weighs just over 7kgs and is still only on my breastmilk. I have something called "nipple vasospasm" which is extremely painful nipples. Its caused by a restriction in the blood flow, so I went to the doctor yesterday and she is looking into what she can get me. Ouch! Really worried because want to carry on breastfeeding for at least 6 months.

On some other news! Murray has dropped one of his night feeds, so he now only feeds once a night at around midnight. He actually did 2 nights in a row recently where he slept through from 6.30pm till 6am so there is some light at the end of the tunnel! He now sleeps either 2 or 3 times during the day and the rest of the time he is happily awake! Chats lots, loves his play gym, chair and any colourful things to look at!

I am going to see the sister next week to chat about starting Murray on solids! He is due to start at the end of this month which is quite exciting. I can't wait to see his little face when we give him his first bite of "human food" which Shane calls it!

My mom sent some Christmas things down for Murray in the post and we thought we would take some pics with him to get us into the Christmas spirit! See pics below.

Nix and Matt arrive tomorrow for a wedding! Going to be so nice to see them! Then they come back in about 10 days time, along with my mom for our much anticipated Christmas holiday!
