I can't believe Dexter is now 6 months old... that's half a year!! and what an amazing 6 months it has been watching my little man change, grow and develop.
A few weeks ago Dexter started blowing raspberries, although they were a little less with the noise and more with the spit bubbles to begin with but cute all the same :) He's definitely got the hang of it now though!
We began baby-led weaning with Dexter last month and it would seem so far that he'll try almost anything. However, the health visitor has recommended a combination of baby-led and spoon feeding so that we can make sure Dexter continues to gain weight steadily. He is a big boy (weighing 18lb 1oz as of this week) and with that in mind we need to make sure he is getting enough calories. Starting him on Hipp Organic we figured that solids would mean that he wasn't hungry for milk but so far it seems to only have increased his appetite!! Little glutton :)
Last week began some changes in the next of these so-called Wonder Weeks with Dexter preparing himself for another developmental leap. Another short spell of clinging to mummy during the day, and getting her up during the night was to be expected but I'm very excited to see what new skills are about to emerge xx
