Injections

Took the little man for his injections the other day. The women looked at him and announced "its three today Rio". I was in shock, someone could of prewarned me.

Apparently its something to do with them not giving them the sugarlump or drops on the tongue anymore?  First one was fine, second one was okay just little cry.. third one he pretty much screamed "why isnt this over yet? am i a pin cushion lady".  It is heartbreaking, but sooo worth it in the long run. I always hear people say "nasty nurse", or "i could of slapped her for making them cry".  But its got to be done. Simples. I may of cooed Rio a few times to stop his tears by saying the first though. Hehe ;)

So..i took him out of the room and gave him his bottle and he was babbling away and smiling to
the people in the waiting room in no time.  He seems fine now too. Abit warm but i blame the english weather.. not that im complaining. Mr england needs to invest in some more sunshine! No more til he is around a year old too. That sounds a long way off, but he is 4 months old tomorrow so i know for a fact that it will flyyy by.

He's loving his porridge, and sleeping through longer than ever. He now has a 'favourite toy'. And is just generally LOVELY!!

Note to self: Dont wear white on injection days, you will get covered in blood and look like you've got your period.. cringe!

3 months.. double his birth weight

This is another one of those, oh my god where did the time go posts. Rio is now 3 months old. He had his injections yesterday, the second set. And i had to go on my own! Craigs car broke down and everyone else just..well kept bloody bailing on me i guess!! I was nervous but i shouldnt of been.. it didnt faze him at all. He kept smiling and looking around while the rest of the babies were kicking up a fuss. He's perfect. The last injections didnt bother him but these have made him abit, unsettled. He actually CRIED. He never cries. When i put him down today. And he seems unsettled in his sleep, fidgety. And more thirsty. Bless him. He's still smiling away though.. always my content baba through and through.

^^ its such a hard life being a baby! ;)

Took him to get weighed too.. he is now 12lb12 so exactly double his birth weight.

Ive lost 2lb this time, not great but ive been so poorly with cold. It doesnt seem to want to budge, infact it gets worse everytime i think its going to get better. So yeah, my exercise this week has been none existent.

Started walking Jessie along side of the pram, she's getting there and understands when i tell her 'steady'. Me and Craig have even talked about getting one of those horrible (my own opinion) baby carriers. So we can strap him on and all walk her over the fields/canals etc and play ball. My dad has kind of took over the off lead walking with her. He's been a saint. Im so gratefull for him. He stood by me when i needed it most. And continues to have my back day after day. That is all :)
