Dear Elliot,
This month we left your brother and sister behind for a few days and went to Lyme Regis for the weekend, to see our gorgeous friends get married.
We celebrated your first father's day with your Dada.
We also went on our first holiday as a family of 5, when we drove to France and stayed in a Eurocamp - it was so much fun!
Milestones
You did your first proper little laugh this month, which was so cute and now you just can't stop doing it.
You slept bloody amazingly when we went to the wedding but just before our holiday, unfortunately we went a tad backwards. I think it's the dreaded 4 month sleep regression.
You loved all the swimming on holiday but definitely struggled some days with the heat. I think that it was Mama's fault, as I would sometimes dress you in too much.
Routine
I am still not doing any sort of routine but you normally go to bed at about 11:30pm, wake loads during the night and generally up fully by 7am. You have occasionally had a few naps in our bed upstairs but on the whole you just nap where and when you want.
Next month I will start trying to get you into a routine.
Weight
You now weigh a whopping 16lbs! You fit into both 3-6 and 6-9 month sizes (I have already packed away some 3-6 month ones). You're currently in between the 50th and 75th percentile.
Love you so much,
Mama xxx
Dear Elliot,
It feels like only yesterday that I was writing your 2 month update, you are growing so fast!
We started this month with a sleepover at Yaya's house, as your Dada went away on a stag do. It was so lovely to have some bonding time with Yaya.
Most excitingly we started your swimming lessons. I have to admit you didn't love it but at the same time didn't hate it.
You also had your first trip up to London and went on a bus, which was probably the funnest thing ever for both of us (we were your typical Marlownian's on a bus, haha!!)!
You also went to your first concert, for which you slept most of the time, letting your Mama and Dada have a drink or two.
Milestones
Amazingly and slightly worryingly, you learnt to roll front to back!!!!! I totally blame your brother and sister for this one.
You are such a smiley and happy baby. You have also started being so good at night, which literally happened over night!!
You have started to make the cute baby noises too and you have definitely found your hands!
Routine
I am not doing any sort of routine with you yet but we are having a lot more periods of awake time. At night, you normally go to sleep at 11:30pm until anywhere from 4:30 - 6:30am, which is the best and I hope that never changes, haha!!!
Weight
You now weigh a massive 14lbs 13oz. You are are well and truly in 3-6 month clothes and seen as Jacks was even bigger than you at your age, his summer bits were more 6-9 months, so you have worn some of those without them looking too ridiculous.
Love you so much,
Mama xxx
