\ud83d\ude09\u00a0 He has also taken to lying on his back on his blanket on the floor and staring at the TV, so it looks like he will be a telly-a-holic when he is older.\u00a0 He is always kicking his legs while he is lying down as well, which is good exercise for him and leads me to think he is going to be a bit of an athlete!<\/p>\n<p>About 2 weeks ago he had his first bath, which he very much enjoyed!\u00a0 He was kicking away as well!\u00a0 Kelly bathed him the first time, and then I bathed him last week.\u00a0 He didn&#8217;t enjoy it much the second time around, but I think that was due to pains in his tummy at the time and excessive wind.\u00a0 We have got some medicine for that now, so hopefully it will settle down a bit.<\/p>\n<p>He has mostly been sleeping very well at night, it is just a bit of a struggle to put him down as he always wakes up.\u00a0 He prefers to be cuddled and easily goes to sleep whilst being cuddled.\u00a0 Last night was a bit better though, as I think the medicine started to take effect, so we all had a much better nights sleep.\u00a0 We are still shattered though!<\/p>\n<p>Ummmmm&#8230;what else has happened with him??!?!!??\u00a0 I can&#8217;t think to be honest! \ud83d\ude09\u00a0 We have taken him out in his pram on several occasions and he seems to enjoy it.\u00a0 He doesn&#8217;t cry anyway!\u00a0 We also took him out in the car for a proper ride on my birthday.\u00a0 He was settled when the car was in motion but cried a bit when we stopped up.\u00a0 Kelly then had to give him some food to calm him down again.\u00a0 We went out to Cadover Bridge on Dartmoor and took him outside for a bit, but he was fast asleep so didn&#8217;t take much in.<\/p>\n<p>If I think of anything else, this will be the first place I will report it!
