Life at 11 weeks

Harry is 11 weeks old today. How time flies! I thought it would be worth jotting down some thoughts of how life is at the moment for us. He changes so quickly and I want to be able to remember everything!

Harry:
-is really starting to find his hands and spends a lot of time staring at them and trying to shove them in his mouth (but not for too long because judging by his face when he lands them in his mouth they don't taste too good!)
-always has cold but sweaty hands that he balls up in fists with blue fluff in them (I clean them EVERY morning but to no avail - they are dirty again within minutes!)
-started to sleep through the night at 8 weeks and now after his last feed (at 11pm) sleeps through to 7.30am but still manages to keep me awake with his grunting and fidgeting from about 4.30am
-is still in his moses basket which we prop up on blocks at one end because of his reflux but needs to come out of it now because he thrashes so hard I'm worried he's going to tip it over!
-is in a great feeding routine. He feeds every 4 hours or so and has just started to take 5 oz at most feeds
-is a telly addict and we have to keep turning him away from it!
-loves to stand up and has learned that if he arches his back and straightens his legs we cannot make him sit down (which makes things tricky when we try to wind him)!
-will happily chat for hours at a time with his grandma (he seems to save his best chatter for her) -is becoming a mummy's boy and has on occassion screamed when given to Chris and not settled until he comes back to his mummy
-weighs 12lb 2oz -still loves his widgey cushion to lie on
-goes to baby massage every wednesday and watches mummy doing pilates every thursday
-is a contented little baby
