11 Month Postpartum / Baby Update!

IMG_6494
One more month until this guy is ONE!!! Insane!!

Body
I think I must have lost some hair postpartum and not noticed until now (as I have a tonne of baby hair coming through). No matter what I do - it sticks out! It's so annoying haha. I'm down another 0.8kg (1.7lbs) since last month, so pretty much back to my pre-pregnancy weight - woohoo! I even slipped on my old jeans today and they actually fit! I'm not getting too excited though as I still need to lose 5.2kgs (11.4lbs) to be back to my normal weight. Hopefully once I'm back at work (coming up soon) I can start my morning exercise routine again.

.

Height/Weight
The little guy is now 10.8kg (23.8lbs). His height is still 77cms.

.

Sleeping
His sleep has been great (knock on wood). He had a few rough nights when he was teething but other than that he's slept through. 

Eating/Feeding
He definitely knows what he likes and doesn't like! He'll pretty much put anything into his mouth, but if he doesn't like it he quickly spits it out. We tested him with peanuts this month too and he's not allergic HOORAY! Bring on the peanut butter sandwiches!

.

Sizes
He's still in size 1 although they are starting to get a bit snug.

Milestones
Ah he's growing up so fast!! He's been cruising the house like crazy and standing on his own for a few seconds. He points to his nose, eyes and tongue when you ask him where they are - so clever! Four new teeth have popped through this month so he's got eight teeth now. It's getting harder and harder to change him as he likes to roll over and crawl away. He LOVES undoing his disposable nappy too, thank god we use cloth most of the time. He's a little chatter box this month saying dadda, mumma, nanna and yum. I'm going to miss him so much when I'm back at work :( only a few more weeks to go. On the plus side, his first birthday is coming up and I can't wait! It's going to be so cute!

  1. Beautiful baby boy. I'm so glad baby weight is coming off and that you are fitting back into your jeans. I also love the way you set up schedule for baby James. I'm not a mother yet but I think you have some great tips in there that will be useful in the future. Great post and you have a very beautiful baby boy.

  2. He is looking so grown up too! What a cutie!

    Congrats to you on reaching your weight goals, well done! It's not easy eating right and making time to exercise when you have a baby so you've done really well! :) I'm still battling that last little bit of belly buldge but I think that hangs around for a long time after babies (or that's what I tell myself anyway).

    What do you have planned for his first birthday? I wanted to have a big thing but family didn't think that was a good idea, so we are just going to have family and a few friends around...I'm going all out with decorations instead ;)
