So my little man will be 20 weeks this friday. It doesn't seem possible. I still see him as that little bundle but now he's doing so much more.
We started weaning him and  Ican tell you it seems like we may have waited longer than we needed. He knows what to do. I was expecting him to maybe just eat a tiny amount but he polished off half a tin of baby food! Now I know that he is ready for it we can think about making our own food for him.
We were visited by one of Hayd's friends and his daughter last week. She is a couple of weeks off 1 and doing so much. I'm really looking forward to Ethan crawling and pulling himself up on things. I can't wait. That being said you shouldn't wish your life away.

Who's the grown up?

So the little man will be 18 weeks old this Friday. I can't understand where the time has gone. Everyone tells you that time goes so quickly especially when you have a child and until now I never really believed them.
He now weighs exactly a stone and he's on 8 oz bottles along with being introduced to solids. He has such a hunger!
My aunt visited us for the first time in a while. She fell in love with Eth straight away. (It's so hard not to) My cousins were fighting over who got to hold him. It felt so good seeing that side of the family again. When I say that side I mean my mum's side. They are the only ones from that side that want anything to do with my sister and I.
Even our mum erased us from her life a long time ago. We've been accused of not wanting to know that side even though I was only 5 and my sister 3 when she left and walked out of our lives forever. Thank god we've got a great dad.
So do I message that side and tell them to forget about us or just leave it? I'm way beyond the olive branch as I've extended it so many times before.
A mother or grandmother should not act like the way they've been acting. Thankfully I have a very supporting family and a great aunt who knows where I'm coming from as they treat her just the same.
