Weighing down again

Another good night. Didn't hear from Tom until 6am, then he just chatted and went back to sleep again. We didn't have anything planned today so had a quiet day. It was a really lovely day, he was in a good mood and I think I got his naps right so he stayed in a good mood for the whole day. So we had a day full of giggles and exercise and exploration. He spent most of the day crawling on his knees and hauling himself up on various pieces of the furniture (but still hasn't used the banisters to stand yet)

We did go to baby clinic today for weighing. I had a feeling that he had lost weight as he hasn't been eating very well. I was right. He has dropped below 20lb again - is now 19lb 15oz. A bit disappointing but not surprising. The Health Visitor didn't plot his weight, saying she would wait till next week - give him the chance to go back up again.

He did do better today with his food. Had a small breakfast (I tried him with scrambled egg but he spat it all out!) . For lunch he had half an avocado mashed with half a banana followed by a fromage frais and for dinner he had 5 ice cubes of various things from the freezer followed by fruit puree and some blueberries and blackberries. Lets hope his appetite continues to improve so he is back to being over 20lb next week.
