Another successful Gymbaroo session done and dusted although i'm not sure who was more tired out afterwards - Sam or myself!! I really should be having a catnap while he's sleeping but i just cant seem to turn my brain off..

Gymbaroo is one hour a week where Sam can venture almost wherever he likes and not look like hurting himself. He is just over seven months and has just started to pull himself up to stand and started crawling about a month ago. He loves to explore and get into everything and tests my patience regularly. Fulltime work has nothing on looking after this little terror. Not only is this more tiring it is also the most rewarding job in the world.. Especially when he looks at you with those big blue eyes and give you the biggest kiss (usually a lick straight up the side of my cheek or trying to suck my lip) He knows i'm his Mum and he is my favourite person in the whole wide world!! Whoops - he and my husband

Update on Sam's teething from previous blog: Our poo has slowed to a once or twice a day occurrence again - thank goodness and..... we have a tiny little piece of white beginning to protrude through - perhaps this is OUR first tooth. I have shares in that tooth as far as i'm concerned for enduring those nappies lol..

Well - I never thought being a nurse that i would find nappy change time a time for parental regurgitation.. That is until now - Good Lord!!

We had 7 poohs yesterday and a further five today - all colours of the rainbow each one smelling worse than the previous.. His little bum has the beginnings of his first bought of nappy rash with patches of redness showing up. Other than the constant poo and the equally stinky wind he is well and playing as usual. He does also have a rash appearing on his chin below his bottom lip from the constant dribbling. There is no tooth sighted yet but I will continue to monitor those gums for an eruption after which time the question will become "to bite or not to bite" to which answers the anxiety fueled query - "to breastfeed or bottlefeed" :)
