Eating
He is still mostly breast fed with one bottle of formula in the evening. Nursing sessions have become more regular and shorter throughout the day, which is such a bonus for me. Feeding James in busy places or if there is a lot of noise has started to become more difficult as he is constantly coming off as he rubber necks to see what is going on.
Sleeping
The month started off pretty rough with 3-4 waking during the night, but half way through it seems like something just clicked and James started to wake up only once. He has even surprised/blessed us with sleeping through the night on a few occasions. His day time sleep has remained consistent with three 45-minute naps a day.
Appearance
His hair is getting thicker on the top and I love how red it looks in sunlight. He is filling out in his face and weighed in at 16 pounds 2 ounces at his last visit with the nurse.
Clothing
We have started to crack open his 6-9 month clothes storage box, mainly for onesies and trousers. He still wears some 3-6 month sleepers from Next as they tend to fit big.
Personality
He really has gotten to be so much fun this month. He wants to be involved with everything and doesn't like being left out. He is still friendly with strangers and loves interacting (and touching) other babies. His smiles are getting even bigger and broader and he has started to laugh and giggle.
Likes
Playing with his feet (he found them this month!); the bath; car rides, being outside; chewing on anything and everything; his jolly jumper (it's easy to imagine Irish music playing in the background with the way he jumps, kicks, and waves his arms); playing peekaboo and pat-a-cake; sitting in his high chair
Dislikes
Napping for longer than 45 minutes
Events
- First Christmas and New Year's Eve;
- Two visits to the Worcester cathedral;
- Started using (and enjoying) his jolly jumper;
- First trip to Ikea to pick up his high chair

I just want to pinch those cheeks! He's so gorgeous! And as always, so well dressed! Love to you all! xoxoxo
Oh I love Jimmy so much too!!! He is just the cutest. And Layla also loves her Next sleepers - they are definitely her favourites!!! So exciting that Jimmy is starting to wake only once and I am so over the moon that he has even slept through the night a couple of times - there is a light at the end of the tunnel (Layla is still a 3-4-5 times a night girl). Loving your updates so much!! xoxoxoxo
p.s. do you have 2 HBC blankets???
p.p.s. Did you make those NYE decorations??
