Last night Curtis continued his feeding frenzy resulting in a bit of a drought in the boobiejuice department so we had to resort to a wee 2floz of formula to finish off his last feed. Whether it was this or a genuinely tired boy...he slept through from 11pm-5.30am! He didn't exactly wake up at that point but was taken out of his moses basket asleep by Steph and put on to feed - which he did in his sleep, he then burped and got his nappy changed, all whilst still snoozin. 1.5hrs later Steph again lifted him for a feed intending this time to wake him fully but still he slept through this and having his clothes changed!! A walk around the flat and a cuddle from Nanna and Tiad and a trip out in the pram still didnt wake him. Later we put the cotbed together right near to where he slept and still not stirring...he finally roused himself at 3pm...just in time to ensure we four had to take turns holding him and eating our sunday dinner...kids eh!
Our sunday stroll took us to Maxwell Park...we knew this park was nearby but had never been and were delighted to find it was bigger than we thought and a real find...even some parts we thought we could rollerblade on...but for now we tested the route with the pram. Molly was delighted to find that there was a huge duck pond there...but sadly she'd spied it just seconds before tiad did and his calls of 'Molly no!' were only met with the sound of Molly jumping straight into the mucky water, we had no chance of preventing her. Weighed down by all the mud she was unable to clamber back out again so Tiad had to grab her by the scruff and drag her out. She was covered from head to toe.
So when we got home it was straight into the bath to try and get rid of all the muck before starting the journey back to Ireland.
Before Nanna and Tiad headed back there was just enough time for Tiad to prepare a yummy roast chicken dinner and Nanna to do all the washing, load up the dishwasher and get a farewell hug from her new favourite man.
It was a sad farewell to Nanna and Tiad but yet again little Curtis showed his appreciation to Nanna for looking after him. He went out and bought a card and a lovely picture of his Nanna holding him as a thank you. Thanks to Nanna, Steph has felt much more rested this week and much appreciated the moral support of making her first trips out with Curtis to one of the local cafes and the supermarket, as well as the extra help in the flat and especially the help with looking after the wee fella...nanna being responsible for many an expelled burp..not personally of course...but in helping the wee man get rid of his painful windy burps!
Tonight as we finish the blog we are settling Curtis down for the night after his bath and are hoping for another good nights sleep.
