chatty plus his appetite has grown so much.
He is also incredibly clingy at the moment which can be a bit wearing at times but I have to keep telling myself there will be a day when he will not want cuddles and kisses especially at silly o'clock in the morning. I first thought it was due to having so much attention over Christmas and New Year from relatives and friends and now it's just him and I again in the day but I've been told most babies around 9 months go through this.
Bedtime is still hit and miss and we still have a few wake ups so i've been looking into best routines to get in and looked at the crying down method as I read the Gina Ford book but I can't see it working as I find Ollie does not stop and gets in such a state that it just wakes him up further but I have tried to pick him up less when in his cot but it's so hard not too. I've been reading other peoples thoughts on the matter on Facebook Precious Little Ones threads so its changed my mind about leaving them to cry too long so I'm trying to relax and go with the flow but Ollie didn't fall asleep until 11pm last night - I would like some free time in the evening.
I thought it was suppose to get easier not harder but this year will be very trying year as come April I'll be going back to work full time and will have to sort a whole new routine juggling childcare, work, finance and missing my little man - really not looking forward to it.
