Ed note: This post is from August 5 2005, however I have timestamped as July  for archiving purposes.

6 months 6 days Time certainly flies, doesn’t it? Well my little blossom, you did your first proper laugh yesterday, not a coo or a semi giggle, but a full on chuckle. It was gorgeous. And you are trying so hard to roll from your back to your tummy (the other way around is fine and has been for two months)…just remember to heave those shoulders! And it is lovely that you are finally starting to come around to the concept of sitting up one day, thanks to the bumbo and our old zoo breastfeeding pillow. You are really starting to take to solids with gusto, we have added ‘dinner’ to your repertoire alongside ‘breakfast’. So far you have tried pear, apple, a touch of banana and pumpkin in addition to your rice cereal (with EBM- mummy has finally learned how to pump) and tonight we will try some potato. It is so gorgeous how you open your mouth up so wide and bring your head forward onto the spoon, and cry when we have finished, you little gourmand you. Tresillian proved a lifesaver, both you and I are much happier in terms of sleeping and feeding. Most nights after your dreamfeed you go back to bed without your dummy, and our feeds, although mostly still fussy, are much improved along with my milk supply. I can’t believe that I am still breastfeeding you, and that i will be sad when you are weaned…whenever that will be (and here i was thinking that i could barely make it to six months…now i am thinking we will go to twelve!). I especially love the dreamfeed, both you and i snuggled in so close together and sleepy. That is the one feed I am going to hate giving up. Anyway I must get into the shower before you wake (AF is very heavy this second time around- ick) and that way we can maximise the time we spend playing together today. Love you more than I ever thought possible.
