rainy Thursday

Just a quick update today, its rainy and horrible here. Sam and I are stuck inside being bored! Sam has started being VERY vocal all of the time. He makes a weird noise that sounds very similar to a pigeon haha! Bryan thought he was struggling for breath but its just a noise that he has decided is funny! The nights are still not so good. Last night he was up at 1am and 3am-NOT good! My mum says its cause he needs solids, im waiting until at least 5 months (so there mother haha!!) Sam is still gaining lots of weight and seems happy and content so he will not be having solids anytime soon! I have also read that there is no correlation betweena decrease in night waking and the introduction of solids. He will also not be having baby rice. It is fortified and lacks any real digestable nutrients. It has to have nutrients added so Sams 1st food will be something natural with no 'fortification'. Natural foods (avacado for example) are much easier for the baby to digest and get the maximum amount of nutrients and fatty acids from! where as baby rice is similar to fortified cardboard that is more difficult for babies to digest. Also avacado tastes more like breastmilk-so thats what he will have! yes, Im a 'tree-hugger mother' as Bryan calls me!! I keep telling Bryan I am going to breastfeed Sam until he is 10...that scares him too haha (dont be scared-I wont really, probably 1 1/2)
