Our boy - Henry


We've just realised that Henry will be six months old this week. He is such a delightful little boy that it has been easy for us to see the months fly by. He now weighs 7.85 kg. We have started him on solids once a day, which he is enjoying. So far he has had pear, apple, carrot, and pumpkin. Looks like he'll love food as much as his Mum and Dad. Tiff has also started the weaning process, dropping one breastfeed a week and replacing it with formula. She set herself a goal of breastfeeding until Henry was six months, and is keen to reclaim her body back. There are no problems with Henry taking a bottle, he holds it and feeds himself.

Here's Henry at his baby massage class. Next to him is his girlfriend Allegra. We discovered during massage class he is ticklish on his tummy. He squeals and giggles when tickled. He also loves being bounced up and down, and being sung to.



This is Henry just waking up in the morning. We are still waiting for the magical 'sleeping through' period to commence. At present he still wakes every three to four hours to be fed.
