19 and 20 weeks

I had to re-count the weeks just to make sure I was right. This boy wants to move and he doesn’t want to miss out on things. He’s trying so hard to roll over and is starting to get more movement in his body and will twist around very strongly if you dare to hold him facing you rather than outwards. He has found his thumb to suck, loves to chew on things or shake his rattle. He is sensitive too, one particularly challenging night I had a little cry and he saw and then he started crying too, so of course I had to stop. Everyone comments on his hair, and he loves to give them a smile, a bit like his brother. His tummy can still be very sensitive, and it makes him uncomfortable and he grizzles, but in a way that is his way of talking. I swear he says mum-mum/mama too, but it’s usually when he’s crying and so maybe just the sound of it rather than the meaning of it. He is less put out by Elroy and increasingly more interested in what he is doing. He cut his first tooth over the weekend - so early - (bottom front right) and the one next too it is almost there too, this explains the six feeds in one night over the weekend, far out that was hard. We also started him on rice cereal and while not super into it, he’s not hating it and it’s nice that he’s eating something with us at dinner time.

It’s been a big fortnight for Rufus!
