Thursday.
Despite only sleeping for about 40 minutes last night, #Bertie was remarkably cheerful this morning, as shown.
he ate a whole slice of bread dipped in a soft-boiled egg and a yoghurt for breakfast, too. Really glad that the business end is becoming a little more formed now he's on some more solid food.
Tuesday.
#Bertie is progressing well with his eating. He really enjoyed some homemade hash brown the other day (the shop-bought stuff is far too salty). He's also been quite partial to the mango, which was an acquired taste, but we've persevered and that's gone well.
Two particular lines on the NHS feeding guide perplexed me, though:
1. Keep distractions to a minimum during mealtimes and avoid sitting your baby in front of the television, phone or tablet.
Do people really feed their babies with phones or tablets? Why? I can understand having it on in a busy household when everyone's more independent maybe. But when you're feeding a baby? Is this just something I'd not do by virtue of needing to hear more clearly?
2. cut small, round foods, like grapes and cherry tomatoes, into quarters (4 small pieces).
It's the parenthetical here. Have we really progressed to the stage of needing to explain what a quarter is? Madness.
Friday.
Yesterday saw #Bertie introduced to some solid food for the first time. he was unsure about the carrot to begin with, but this morning has been diving at the spoon for breakfast.
Saturday.
Hard to believe that little #Bertie is already 20 weeks old. The weeks have flown.
He's now got a couple of teeth, has just gone up a size in nappies and enjoys pretending he can walk by being stomped across the carpet, supported under the arms.
he likes warm milk, falling asleep to BBC Radio 3 Unwind Or a Debbie Wiseman album when I'm in charge or being hummed-at by his mother when she is, and owns a small but growing collection of hairs from my beard, which he plucks with great force and seemingly all signs of enjoyment.
He's started to giggle vocally and is almost too big for his baby bath.
he has, as of yet, not provided any verbal feedback on life, other than to demand "ning!" routinely, which we assume is his request to be fed.
He's also, as pictured, literally, if not quite figuratively, found his feet.
I've hashtagged his name from this point forward because not everyone wants to see the #BabyPhotos.

#BertieAhern is backing #HeatherHumphreys for the Áras.
Do YOU stand with #Bertie? #Aras25 #PresidentialElection
CMAT drops her album; Bertie drops out of the #Áras25 race. Coincidence?
If #FiannaFáil had a choice between a hole in the head and Bertie Ahern as presidential candidate, the hole would win.
In fact, a head riddled with holes would be better for #FF than being dragged back to the #Bertie world of cheques cashed in pubs, cash bailouts from pals, and insults to economists. Even Bertie's florid face now looks like a Martyn Turner cartoon of Charlie Haughey.
So I hope he runs. Everyone wiĺĺ hand him brown envelopes wherever he goes. 👿😂🤣
