Getting Mobile

No pictures today - just an update on Joshua's progress. This week has been very tough as the little man has been teething really badly, which means no eating and a very interrupted sleep pattern. The frustrating thing is, you can't actually see any new teeth coming though. It looks like after a week he might just be getting over this problem only to run into the next. After 9 months he has his first case of nappy rash. The poor lad has a very sore bum and cries as soon as you touch it when cleaning his bum or even when you pick him up. We have been trying new creams and letting him go commando whilst indoors to try and make things more comfortable for him.

On a positive note Joshua is getting more and more mobile every day. He now gets into a crawl position and takes a few shuffles forward before collapsing on his belly and then commando crawling to where he wants to get. His other new trick is that he has now figured out how to get into a seated position after first rolling on his belly. Last night I checked up on him in his cot and he was sat bolt upright having a cry. Then this morning he had taken that one step further and sat up, then pulled himself up to a standing position whilst he was shouting for attention at 5:45am.

Joshua has also had another 3 induction sessions at nursery this week. The last 2 have not gone well with the little boy pretty much crying for the entire 1.5 hours. Fingers crossed he settles down Monday which will be his first full day. Time to get the cheque book out to pay the extortionate fees for child care.............ouch.
