Porkyworkies!

Breakfast - none

Lunch - Slice of pork, a small piece of apple and a sugar snap pea BLW style

Supper - Pork in home-made apple sauce with carrot

Again I went easy with the food today as Edward is still not 100% himself. I took his nappy off last thing at night to find he'd done a poo, I don't think it had been there long but was so nasty it had made his inner thigh really sore, to the point the skin looked ready to blister, poor boy! I had only been thinking yesterday how we'd got through his first tooth without the dodgy poos often associated with teething, obviously 'thought' too soon.

Edward's lunch was a very laid back messy affair we just handed him the bits of food where he was on his mat and let him play with them. The pork mostly just got shredded and spread about, but the sugar snap pea got seriously munched!

Edward went to the song and dance session at the library today, it was a special one today (quite by chance) and there was a flute player and a ballerina from The National Ballet leading the session. His little eyes were so wide watching all the other children, I think he quite enjoyed it especially the clapping :o)

We got some books out and he is now officially taking part in a reading challenge, he has a special card and a chart that he gets stickers on and everything!! He just has to read, or be read, six books by the end of the summer then we get entered into a prize draw for cinema tickets which at £10 a shot in central London is actually quite a good prize. We got a Baby Einstein book, a feely book called 'That's not my rabbit' recommended by Grandmummy, and finally the essential classic 'The Hungry Caterpillar'.

Edward is getting VERY close to crawling, I was watching him earlier and he keeps managing to get up on all fours then as he flops down he wiggles backwards. I think there is a good chance he will be crawling by the end of the month.

All in all he's had a good day, he's been really chirpy and giggly which has been just lovely, he also has a new favourite toy...namely the metal carpet edger between the hall and lounge, he likes scrunching his fingers across it and banging it as it makes a rather superb noise!
