We're Back Online!

Hi Folks, sorry there has been no posts in quite a few days, but since the weekend we've been having a nightmare. On Monday Kory was ok, I went to town shopping with Hannah and Holly and he slept all day, but from Tuesday things went rapidly downhill (he's been bad all weekend too!) He slept only about two and a half hours on Tuesday night and we were all exhausted on Wednesday. He then didn't sleep at all all day, and was literally screaming. Nothing was settling him, not walking not the pram or car, nothing! I was so frustrated I was upset too.

But anyway, last night he slept a straight 7 hours - assume he was so exhausted! And today we've been back on track and even had a bit of a smiley baby for the first time this week.

The first photo is from Sunday when we had lovely weather and Kory was in the garden soaking up some rays while James was weeding. The second photo was on Tuesday in between screaming in his snowsuit ready to go out.

This week Kory put on 10oz when he was weighed making 10lbs 11.5oz...what a little piggy, they say to expect to put on 4-7oz a week. As he is coming up to 8 weeks old, and has his check with the doctor next week, he was also measured in length and head circumference. He has grown 6cm in length and has a bigger head by 3.5cm. It was strange seeing folk coming into baby clinic with newborns and knowing Kory isn't one any more!

This photo is of Kory with one of his new toys we got him on Monday. This is a toy bar that attaches to lots of things eg. carseat, bouncy chair, moses basket etc. He had it on his chair tonight for the first time and seemed to really like it, he was smiling away at it and chattering to the animals! We bought it using vouchers we received from my Aunt Margo. I thik it's going to be a brilliant purchase!

This last pic is of Kory copying the hippo!! Both look like their eyes are about to pop out of their heads! He is now in bed, and hoping he stays there for a while! I'm afraid I don't have a lot more to report, I'm absolutely shattered this week and I haven't done much apart from paced the room with a screaming baby! Hopefully things are a bit better now and normal blogging will resume! Know some of you missed us!
