My little monkey hardly ever sits still and he has the cheesiest grin! But don't let it fool you. Within the blink of an eye, he can go from angelic looking to full on meltdown. They fail to mention that the "terrible twos" start from about 14/15 months old! I spend my days running after him, he most certainly keeps me on my toes! As for his sleep, well that is still very much an issue. He refuses to go down, he has split my lip on multiple occasions where the just thrashes about, and when he does go to sleep, he is back up just hours later. It simply seems that he is a bad sleeper, end of. Nothing I could do would change it, so I just have to go with the flow and if it means he ends up in bed with me by about 3am, then that's what I have to do.
He even got his first shoes. We tried a couple of pairs on him, and the first pair he struggled to walk in as they seemed pretty heavy for his feet so we chose the airplane ones instead. We need to get him remeasured again now as it has been over a month.
On top of looking after Dylan, I have been cooking for the both of us too (seems daddy wasn't too eager to try the butternut squash soup! My mum is going to try it so is coming over after work to get the last serving and I have 2 pots in the freezer for later) I had never had butternut squash before, but I cooked it anyway. Dylan is funny with his food lately... Unless he can grab it and feed it to himself, he doesn't want to know, but I managed to get him to have a few spoonfuls and he happily dipped bread in it too and gobbled it up.
And I made some wholemeal cheese straws. All the recipes came from the Ella's Kitchen Cookbook (both of these were from the RED book, though we have the yellow baking book too. I didn't get on with Annabel Karmel book, and Dylan adored the Ella's Kitchen pouches so it seemed a winner!) These are some pretty good straws, and I'm guessing because they are wholemeal, it must be better for us... right? ;)
I have been relying on my planners lots and things are improving anxiety wise :) I have my book checked out of the library for the course which starts on my birthday. I have a lovely gold planner coming from China (£9!) and as my journal went walkies somewhere... Everything seems to be going missing, it's so cramped in here that some things we are just figuring will be found when we finally move. Any who, as my journal went walkies and I cannot for the life of me find it anywhere, I also bought a "fauxbonichi" and a zippered case to keep it in :D That's what my Christmas money went on. I will be doing a post when it arrives!
