9 months on...

His eczema seems to be clearing up a bit, thanks to the praying EG has been doing over him. I really believe it's that more so than the assorted creams we've been using on him. Thank God!

Today we started on a new routine since he turned 9 months old last week, moving on from his usual 4-hr one (2-hr up, 2-hr nap). Today went well actually, we started at 8am with brekky, nap at 11am, up again at about 12.30pm, lunch about 1pm, another nap (he fell asleep in the car on the way back from mother's grp at May's) at about 3.45pm till 5pm, then up again, dinner at 6pm, bath and goodnight by 8.30pm. Basically stretching out his feeds and wake-times :-)

Ivy, who works in childcare says it's a good idea for us to put him into it once a week so he can socialise with other kids, and it'll free me up to do some stuff without having to worry about him. It does sound like a good idea, especially to have some me-time - been feeling a bit of cabin-fever lately!

In other news we're heading to the Essential Baby fair at Flemington racecourse tomorrow. Hope it's good! Looking forward to the freebies and prizes hehe!
