Reuben's Weaning Adventures!

Can't believe it's been over a month since I last posted, you all know how it is though :)

We are so close to moving to our own house but it seems to take forever going day to day week to week, hopefully we should be moved in by the end of the month and all completed!

It is only a flat but Roo will be in his own room so it is going to be so nice, me and Katherine can actually spend some quality time together, we even went on a date night last night to the cinema can you believe? Highly recommend going to see the Inbetweeners 2, although rather crude it is well written and so so funny.

So, Reuben is 7 months old and on 3 square meals a day, after a slow start to weaning he seems to eat anything that comes near him, from vegetable risotto to beef casserole. He doesn't particularly like water (not good considering how hot it has been) so we have been using Boots baby juice which he seems to take better to :) although we are chuffed that he is fully weaning he doesn't seem as keen on his bottles now and we have no idea what else to try as all he does during a feed is arch his back and try to look around. We have to lie him on the bed in a dark room and give it to him in 3 bursts so he actually takes it in. The morning bottle is NEVER a problem :) 

We went with the baby led weaning and Roo loves toast! We tried a few Biscotti and the Organix Sweetcorn Rings which have gone down well but it is always a learning curve and we love discovering what he likes to eat, blending up your food (providing it isn't full of rubbish) is a great idea too, so root veg and potatoes is a home winner here!

Reuben loves to roll over wherever you put him now or just stand up and be active which means we have to watch him all the time, nappy changes and getting dressed will never be the same again let me tell you. We have learned that each baby grows at their own pace and some parents almost seem in competition to have their little one's doing acrobatics before the other which is a shame really and puts so much pressure on their little bodies! We want our Roo to stay little for as long as possible and with some encouragement help him along the way towards his next big steps in life!

I will keep you all posted with regards to the house move and when we are looking to move in and try to make time for this more in my hectic lifestyle!
