This months the Baby started crawling and he has built up quite some speed now. It's lovely to see him explore his environment confidently and on his own. Stairgate is fitted though.
He has also started to pull himself up to standing and lowering on his own. So the bed is lowered to lowest setting too. A 3rd tooth appeared on Valentine's Day and 10 days later the 4th broke though.
The baby also is quite happy to enjoy a session of babbling but just this last day he seems to start saying Papa and Mama in context. We will observe it just to make sure he means it.
We also used one day to make dairy/soy free chocolate brownies, which we all enjoyed.
Thankfully the baby's sleeping seems to improve but it has been a struggle to get him to this point. 2 months of sleep training before we saw significant progress.
The big brother had a week's of half term holiday and we were very busy. We visited Wisley Gardens and their butterfly house, the Windsor pool and flumes and he had a day in the forest with Wild Learning in the Claremont Park Forest.
We had a check up at the dentist for the big brother and it turns out his two bottom front teeth have started to wobble. Oooh! This is one excited 5 year old!
The big boy is also continuing his swimming at stage 3 at Hurst Pool and his co-ordination is improving nicely. But best of all is that he is really enjoying it. The half term crash course was especially ice to him.
For me, what I really appreciated and valued this month was to see the boys make each other laugh and enjoy each other's presence. This was so special to see for me.
