Thankfully it is much cooler this week. Even though I love summery hot weather, last week was hellish. The flat was like an oven and Jakey was feeding a lot more because he was so thirsty. His room hovered around 30 even with a fan going. We had to resort to a couple of night-time Aptimel feeds simply because Amy did not have enough milk to supply the demand.
Jake has been in a funny mood over the last couple of days. This leads us to believe that maybe he is going through some more teething pains. He has taken to ‘barking’ quite loudly when he wants attention. This can be quite draining especially for Amy during the day. People have told us to leave him when he barks this way but we think that would be mean. After all he is just a baby and needs comfort and hugs especially when he is in pain.
Time will tell whether we are being ‘played’ but I think not. Jake was up again for a 3am feed and then one again at 5.30am. I got up at 6am and played with Jake until 7.30am which gave Amy a little bit more sleep. Not enough I know but every little helps. I also had the honour of changing a particularly pooey nappy 🙂
Last weekend C&C came for the weekend along with Paddy their dog. We had a pleasant picnic on Hilly Fields. There is nothing Jakey loves more than being naked under the trees. He was simply loving the whole thing. On Sunday we ventured into Greenwich for a walk. Jakey was very off that day especially with his old dad 🙁 it seemed. It is funny how such a small being can make you feel on cloud nine one minute and down in the dumps the next!
