9 months old!

Well, Logan will be tomorrow anyway. It's also Juliette's birthday, though I'm forbidden from mentioning how old she'll be (on pain of pain).

We had a bit of a full-on day on Saturday. At 9 he had his third swimming lesson at Tawa Pool. His first lesson (four weeks ago) went well, until right at the end when Logan brought up some water he'd swallowed, with a little milk. As soon as the pool staff thought he'd thrown up, everyone was ordered out of the pool and it was closed while it got cleaned.



This time, another one of the baby's in the class threw up. It was less than Logan had brought up, but it was in the middle of the lesson. Same reaction, and the class moved to the big pool. Unfortunately, this was a lot colder and when Logan got out, he was turning blue!

A quick warm shower and change, and his colour returned, in time for our next stop -- morning tea at some friends' place. We were there for nearly two hours, swapping baby stories and advice before we had to go to our third appointment for the day -- lunch at the Denny's in Porirua with more friends (including Logan's godparents).

Logan tried curly fries (which he loved), didn't really like the chicken nuggets, but really got into some pasta and watermelon. We were at Denny's for over two hours, and Logan was doing really well, especially considering the only sleep he'd had was a 15 minute nap (on Daddy) at our friends' place. No crying, no grizzling. We got him home and tucked him into bed, and he slept for another couple of hours.

Sunday was a quiet day at home -- apart from a trip to the supermarked for weekly grocery shopping -- since we thought he'd still be a little knackered from Saturday. He also seems to have picked up a bit of a sniffle from the cold pool, so when we did go out, he was wrapped up snug.

Today, all three of us had the day off (we're having a 4-day weekend for Juliette's birthday). We tried Logan on scrambled eggs for breakfast (this is the third time we've tried it). He wolfed it down, but -- like the last two times he's had scrambled eggs -- he's now very unsettled and grizzly. We've spent the past couple of hours trying to get him settled, but it took a dose of baby Nurofen before he settled down properly. Unfortunately, he'll probably cough himself awake at 2:30.

Poor wee man.
