Curtis really does seem to be back to normal now with his feeding which is a huge relief to us. We do seem to have back-tracked a little with his night time sleeping as he now wakes for an earlier feed at 10.30pm as well as 1-2 more through the night...but this is better than 2 hourly so no complaints here.

Curtis, not so Hungry
What appears to have been one almighty growth spurt has finally come to an end after 4 days and nights of non stop feeding. The assumption that he needs solid foods and as much of it as possible seems to have been slightly premature as today he was more than satisfied with his usual milk supply.
The 4 day "growth spurt" took so much effort however that he set a new personal best for day time sleeping. An unprecedented 3 hour day time nap today. Some achievement from Mr. Curtis "20 min max nap" Hughes.
With 4 days of non stop feeding and 3 hour naps we half expected a growth spurt of incredible hulk like proportions and that we'd wake up in the morning with him bursting out of his clothes.

Just Standing Around
Curtis has been putting weight on his legs for some time but he really seems now to notice that he's doing it and gets quite excited and almost looks quite proud of himself whenever he is helped to stand up. Quite strange how whe they do thsi they really stop looking like that little squished and small baby you thought you'd been carrying around too....ah, he looks so grown up!
He's also doig so well at sitting that we can now use the wee bath seat we bought him a few weeks ago. He does now however have to wear scracth mitts in the bath (and when he sleeps, and when we change him) as he just cant stop scratching himself on his head, legs and chest whenever he gets the chance to attack his naked skin. His dry skin really irritates him now poor thing and we have to be very vigilant to prevent him from casuing himself any damage :-(
