Jack is over 4 months old now and developing wonderfully! He cut his first tooth today, poor little mite is really uncomfortable, is drooling constantly, chewing everything and has sore cheeks. Hopefully now that the first one is out it will get easier for him.
He isn't rolling over yet, but can shuffle about and is very partial to grabbing his feet! His coordination is fantastic and he is interested in everything around him. He is a very happy boy, he giggles at being bounced and having his neck cleaned in the bath and has started to laugh at the sight of me! He can almost sit unaided already and will take his weight on his feet when supported in a standing position. He loves books and can turn the pages of board books himself.
Most of the mums I shared my pregnancy with have started weaning early and I have recently found myself drifting away from them. It's hard to stay friends with people who have such different ideas about parenting. Jack won't be having solids until he is at least six months old, at which point we will be following baby-led weaning (BLW), which is the practice of including children in meal times and offering them real food, not purées. It helps ensure a happy and healthy relationship with food, teaches table manners and is generally a lot easier than spoon-feeding! I'm looking forward to it :)
