Sir didn't wake for a bottle, instead he tried to get me up at 6am so guess where he ended up sleeping for 2 hours. 6am is just an offensive time to be cried at!
Breakfast today was mini pancakes and strawberry and banana porridge. Morgan really took to the pancakes, he actually ate them this time instead of screwing them up and throwing them on the floor. He also ate about half his cereal.
Lunch was lamb roast. I think he found it a bit bland as he just wasn't interested in it, he very slowly ate less than half the bowl but was quick to eat all his rice pud afterwards. I can see myself having to tweak the lamb roast recipe now his tastes have changed, good thing I enjoy cooking!
After lunch the 3 of us went to see a hairdresser, only my toddler girl and me actually had our hair cut can I stress! Morgan decided halfway through he wanted a nap so I ended up with him on my lap while the poor woman tried to work around him pulling handfuls of my hair and wriggling around on my knee. All credit to her, she managed it somehow!!!
I made a roast chicken dinner but it all went wrong. The yorkshire puddings were soggy, DH insists his carrots were hard although everyone elses were fine and madam refused to eat anything other than 1 roast potato. Morgan did well, I blitzed down some roast potato, chicken, carrot, broccoli, cauliflower and a spoon of gravy then gave him some finger food too. He really enjoyed it. The cauliflower on his tray was immediatley thrown on the floor but he happily tried the rest and ate the puree. He had half a fruit pot for pud.

Day 141
Mini man had an awful night, he didn't wake up but kept crying in his sleep. Is it possible for babies to have bad dreams at this age???? He isn't poorly and doesn't seem to be teething so not sure what was wrong. By 1am I had enough of getting up to him every half hour so brought him into our bed. He slept better with us but still kept crying out every hour or 2. He finally woke up at 7am and seemed happy but tired.
We have changed his gaviscon to being in his bedtime bottle instead of the 11pm feed and if he has a night feed we put some in that too. It seems to have helped yesterday as he had no hiccups or any telltale swallowing/gulping noises. Fingers crossed it carries on although I wish I knew what had triggered it.
Breakfast today was banana porridge. He ate virtually all of it despite trying to duel with me using a spoon!
We popped over to see another friend of mine who has a little boy 5 weeks younger than Morgan after brekkie. Her son is so sweet, he's also a chilled little fella compared to my feisty boy. Morgan wants to get up and run around/grab hold of anything nearby/pull my hair/smear soggy biscuit over me, whereas her son is happy to sit down and play. I get the impression Morgan is going to be a handful of a toddler very soon!!! It was lovely catching up with her, it's been a while since we last met up so it was amazing to see how much the boys had changed.
We left at lunch time as sir had refused a sleep and was kicking up a stink! He sparked in the car and slept for an hour. He woke up very hungry and ate all his chicken casserole plus half a fruit pot.
For dinner, little man had some of the chicken pasta bake I'd made earlier in the day. I have tweaked my recipe and he loved it. I gave him a huge bowlful but he had a good go at it. He was a bit full afterwards so only had a few spoons of his custard.
He was ok after his bedtime bottle again, so we'll keep up the gaviscon for now and see what happens.
Day 140
Another good night for Morgan, he slept till 8am with just one wake up for a feed. His reflux seems to be flaring up again though as he had violent hiccups just before bed last night and again after his night bottle. He also seems a bit uncomfortable when he lays down, preferring to be propped up slightly particularly in his sleep. I think we'll adjust his gaviscon again and see if it helps.
Breakfast today was toast and a fruit pot, he wasn't too fussed with the toast but did eat about quarter of a slice. The fruit pot was gone in seconds.
Mini man had curried beef for lunch, he had about 2 thirds of it before demanding some pudding. I gave him chocolate semolina but he wasn't really interested, he had a few spoons before he wanted to get down and chase his sister around.When I say chase, I mean hang on to my fingers to balance himself while he sprints after his sister roaring laughing and she tries to ward him off by using any toy that comes to hand while also roaring laughing. They have me in hysterics some days but it really doesn't do my back any favours!!
Dinner was pork and rice, he was really quite hungry by then so ate loads of it along with some apple and rhubarb crumble with oat cream.

Day 139
My gorgeous boy did so well overnight, he slept in his own cot all night and woke up just once for a bottle. He woke up a hungry boy and had almost all of a weetabix then had a handful of cheerios too. He really loved picking them up, twisting them around in his little hand before munching on them.
We disappeared to my friends house for lunch so I took a jar of vegetable risotto with chicken and a fruit pot with me. He did really well, eating most of the jar and half the fruit pot. He loved watching our girls playing together, he was giggling, trying to join and pull himself up using my hair while we were there. He fell asleep in the car on the way home and ended up having an hour and a half nap.
Dinner was salmon, sweet potato and spinach. He hasn't had it for a while and seemed to love it, he kept reaching for the spoon and crying out if he wasn't fed quick enough lol. He had a slice of marble cake afterwards and demolished it! He then managed to lay his hands on his sisters piece of cake, she had left it within reach without us knowing, and within seconds he had ripped it apart and was stuffing chunks of it in his happy little mouth. Any one would think I never feed him.

Day 138
I fell into the trap at 1am, little man decided mummy's arms were the safest and cosiest place to sleep and would not settle again anywhere else, so guess where he slept the for rest of the night... I cannot wait for us to move so he has his own room, I'm hoping that I will actually stick to my guns if he's not in the same room as us. We seem to be quite a way through the process so I feel a little easier mentioning it now! We currently live in a 2 bed and are buying a 3 bed. I'm still afraid of the whole process will go belly up, but the new house is the only place I could picture our furniture and we viewed about 15 houses in the end.
Anyway, once I was woken up by a gorgeous little man pulling my hair then grinning at me, we had some breakfast together with my beautiful little lady. Morgan managed half a bowl of banana porridge and quarter of a crumpet, not bad really.
He went down for a nap earlier than I expected so I used the opportunity to get myself, my girl and the bag ready to go out as soon as he woke up. Madam had other ideas though and managed to wake him up early with an almighty tantrum. She's just not her usual happy, cheeky self at the moment, I have an awful feeling she's coming down with something but time will always tell.
Once Morgan was awake, we went dashing out to the health food shop to stock up on dairy and soya free yogurts, cheese and chocolate. We got back just in time for lunch and little man had half his pork and apple roast dinner and a choccie biccie afterwards.
To make up for this morning, he had a really good nap, waking up just in time for dinner. I heated up some chicken curry, which he had almost all off, followed by rice pudding. Needless to say he ate really well and was full of energy, chatter and giggles afterwards!

Day 137
I must be the only person that finds bank holiday weekends a complete bore. For me it's usually a long 3 or 4 days where DH is at work and I have my 2 babies to entertain with nothing to do and no one around to see. Thankfully this one has been broken up quite nicely as yesterday we had our friends over, our girls are the same age and both are comedy geniuses. Today one of our neighbours has decided to hold an impromptu get together on the green to mark the jubilee and everyone in our close seemed to turn out. It was nice finding out who's around us, shame we are just a few weeks away from moving lol.
Anyway, onto food. Sir had toast and a fruit pot for brekkie but didn't have a great deal. He was the same at lunch, despite having lamb roast which is usually a firm favourite. Pud was yesterdays untouched custard and he did ok with that.
Having realised the cupboards are looking quite bare again, we went out and got a roasted chicken for our dinner. I boiled up some potato with apple, carrot, shallot and thyme then blitzed it down with some of the chicken and he ate loads. I handed him a few carrot slices and some strips of chicken as finger food but he wasn't too impressed. He also ate 3/4 of an apple and blueberry fruit pot afterwards. I'm just pleased he's finally eaten well.
The new nappies worked well last night, he did wake up at 3am again but that was from hunger rather than being wet through. Hopefully he'll settle at night again now.

Day 136
Stupid nappy leaked again so we had a 4am wake up call from a soggy, cold and uncomfortable baby. I've gone out and bought some Huggies but the price is absurd, twice what I was paying for Sainsburys own. No way will I keep buying them so once they're gone I'll have to try another brand.
Once sir was clean and dry he slept till 7am. He woke up really quite happy and was extra smiley when we went to get his sister up straight away. They are so sweet together, little lady was full of smiles and giggles for him as she got out of bed and he had the first cuddle of the day from her.
I fed Morgan weetabix for brekkie while I danced around the kitchen making pancakes for us all. He had a half a weetabix and 2 mini pancakes in the end. Little lady had about 9 mini pancakes with strawberry jam, she always seems to eat more pancakes when she's helped me to make the batter. I really can't wait to have 2 little kitchen helpers making mess with me!!!
I heated up some curried beef for sirs lunch, but he wasn't that interested in eating for some reason. I assume he was still full from brekkie as he had slept well, etc. He managed ok with his chocolate semolina though...
He was hungry by dinner time and had most of his chicken pasta bake. Only trouble was he hadn't slept in the afternoon so was falling asleep in his high chair, I didn't bother offering him any pud and DH put him up for a nap. Fortunatley he only had 30 minutes so wasn't up much past his usual bedtime.
