Vega – 16 week update!

Vega - 16 wks

16 weeks! This might be my favourite week so far! I really don’t know where the past almost 4 months have gone too… this baby is getting too big too fast people! I wish I had a slow down button. He’s still the sweetest little fella, so laid back and happy all the time. He loves to chatter with us and has the biggest grin ever – and aren’t those gummy smiles the best?! Kinda makes me wish he’d never get any teeth ha!

He’s been sleeping through for most of the past 4 weeks – usualy from 10pm until 7am, then feeds for a good forty mins and sleeps another couple of hours. He did wake up for an extra night feed a few nights last week though, I think a combination of growth spurt plus coming up to weaning age {um – already?!}. Weaning advice seems to change so much, yet I’m pretty sure babies don’t – I always let my babies lead me, they make sure you know when they’re ready to eat. For the past few weeks, Vega’s been taking more and more notice of us all eating. He loves to sit on my knee at mealtimes, and watches every fork-full form my plate to my mouth. A little disconcerting ;) The other night having supper at the table with the girls, he grabbed my banana and gave it a good ol’ licking… then cried when I ate it. Mean Mama! Pretty sure he wants to be sat up and eating with us all. I need to get him a chair to sit at the table in pretty soon.

I still haven’t had him weighed, hoping too this week – though he’s been in 6-9 month clothes for a few weeks already!

This month Vega:

* loves his morning snuggles in bed with Mama
* decided he doesn’t want to lie down – he wants to be sat up all the time!
* loves chewing his fingers, he’s found his thumb once or twice
* loves tummy time
* really loves his bath
* has 3 pretty regular naps in the daytime
* has started showing a huge interest in what we are eating
* loves going for a walk in the pram – he’s smiles and giggles when the whole time we’re out!
* loves when his sisters play with him
* giggles if you blow a raspberry on his belly
* still loves to sleep on Mama sometimes in the day!

    I didn’t think it possible but he just gets cuter and cuter!

    I LOVE the little no teeth stage where their gums look like the underside of a mussel with that amazing ridge on, it produces incredible smiles! Sounds like he’s a very content baby with a brilliant schedule, well done!

    Ah he’s so cute! I love the no teeth phase too, in fact it always looks really funny when they first get teeth! They make breastfeeding more scary too, Tiger bit me so hard it got all infected and I had to take anti-biotics!! x
