Holiday - caleb highlights

plane trip - Caleb was awesome. Mum and Dad need more practice though but it was fun. I knew you had to feed baby on take off and landing because of his ears. So as the plane was taxiing away I started feeding him a bottle except he finished the bottle before we even took off :-)

Thankfully, he fell asleep and only woke up just before we landed. Then I fed him bits of rice cake so he would keep swallowing. Except as we hit the ground - his bladder seemed to let go and a flood went through his nappy on to my me. Luckily I was wearing black so it wasn't noticeable :-)

Our trip home was less eventful - Caleb stayed awake the whole time and even looked out the window when we were on the ground. You point out the window to him and he just notices the window :-)

Oh and he did notice the air hostesses and they noticed him - a charmer already! He was stretching his neck around his Father to look at them.

Firsts - Caleb had lots of firsts on this trip including the plane trip. Before we jumped on the plane I waved bye-bye and he copied me. He's done it a few times since so he's learnt his first trick!

Found his first freckle on his knee. Actually Myles and I noticed he had two similar birth marks just below his knees on the back. Very small but probably more noticeable now he's grown so much.

He ate his first baby food from a jar - not all successes. He still doesn't like apples - from a jar or home pureed. But he loved the organic vege jars.

Had his first organic formula...everything in Byron Baby seemed to be organic. This formula was the only one available at the local supermarket and it was twice the price! He loved it.

He learnt to make a clicking noise with his tongue. I use to do it to entertain him and then out of the blue he started doing it. Plus myles held his hands and he took his first real steps forward - normally he stands still or steps backwards. He's learning and growing so much!
