Baby Sensory at the SureStart play centre



Liam weighed in at 6.1kg/13.7lbs when he was weighed at 6 weeks of age... that is at the 98th percentile!! The little boy ain't so little, but he is definitely adorable and is showing signs of his fun-loving personality! We went to a baby sensory class today with friends from the antenatal NCT (national childbirth trust)class we did before Liam's birth. At the baby sensory class there were cooked pasta, warm snow... hmmm I still wonder about that one... bubbles, paint and lots of other messy stuff. Lots of the kids (mostly under 1) were having fun playing. I tried to give Liam the cooked pasta to feel but he was more interested in checking Isla out (Isla was due a day before Liam)! Then he was checking Zoe out and gave her lots of smiles (Isla's mum)... Yes, my boy, get the mum to like you first before dating the daughter... good tactic! He later was happily checking all the other baby girls!
Then the dreaded bowel movements started and he even got red in the face as he was pushing it out... And out... And out... So much out that it went out his nappy onto my pants where he was sitting on my leg! :) As everyone was packing up, I had to do a nappy change, of course, but Liam was very unimpressed with me... I mean mum, did you have to embarres me like that and do it in front of those I'm trying to impress?! That afternoon Liam slept for many hours and even missed a feed, so exhausted was he from the outing, but all in all he was one happy boy today!!!
