Hi girls
The past 10 days haven't been the best here. Monday last week Drake's eyes were all sticky in the morning, but it kept coming back through the day. Wednesday it was still the same so took him to the docs and he thinks conjunctivitis, but not bad enough to need treatment. At the same time he started to get diarrhoea but I put this down to a banana every other day being too much for him. He's stopped sleeping through the night, sometimes wanting milk, sometimes just wanting to play for an hour.
Towards the end of last week he started going off his milk and squash (I took him off his fruit juice in case it was also causing the diarrhoea), but still loving his food. And he was loving sucking cold wet cloths, ice lollies and fridge teethers so I thought he must be teething, but still no sign of teeth!
His food seems to be passing through pretty much undigested mostly, but he's been fine in himself, just a lil bit grumpy and clingy. He's rolled over from back to front for the first time, he's loving standing holding on to things and walking holding on to hands. In fact he's starting to get brave and let go with one hand, but then won't move lol. He's now rolling forward from a sitting position on to his hands, but then either gets stuck with one leg under himself or goes flat on his belly hehe. Today he actually moved backwards on his belly (I missed it tho
).
Yesterday after days of not letting fingers near his mouth, he grabbed my hand and bit down on my knuckle in such a way I was able to keep his tongue out the way and pull his bottom lip down. He has toothy buds! 2 of them right at the front. They've not broken through yet, but after so many signs for so long (on and off for the last 5 months) it's great to see something finally happening.
