Update

 Layton is growing so fast 

Layton is now 15 weeks old, and 3 months. I can not believe how fast it has gone and how big he is. After being very unwell with bronchitis it has take a long time for him to fully recover and only now is he back to taking 5 Oz bottles every 4/5 hours. As well as sleeping overnight for 5+ hours in one stretch thankfully. Daddies are able to get abit more sleep and rest. But he is definitely back to himself our smily, Chucky boy. 

He had his second lot of immunisation as well and due his third in the new year. He is smiling all the time now and we even had a little giggle. He is very tinglish too. He so social and loves watching ariyah running around, when we gone back to baby groups he loves just watching and smiling at the toddlers running and playing. He smiles at everyone and gets lots of attention because he so cute (although I am baiast) 

He has come along way in the last 4 weeks, he is so strong, when on tummy time he can lift his head for ages now and pushes off us to shuffle forward. He wiggles to move around and turns himself round when laying on the floor. He can now roll from his tummy to his back and even tried to roll into his tummy. He has done this ones or twice but needs help as he gets his arm stuck under himself. He sits for a short time unaided but proping himself up and tryed to sit himself back up. He can sit for ages with little support. His grip is strong as he can now hold and shake and grab toys/objects. He even pulls his monkey toy to play the tune on his buggy. He is so strong alert and determined. Just like Ariyah was. 

He always now wants to stand and just wants go play like her or the bigger kids. Constantly trying to stand or push off to go. He loves lights, so is enjoying Xmas alot. All the lights the tree and anything shiny. The fire blanket is his favourite toy to play with because of the noice. He like his drum and the octopus toy as well. Mirror also he loves a mirror and will laughs and chats to himself. He babies and copies our sounds alot too. He often chats away in-between drinking his milk with this very cute cooking noice it's so cute. 

He idioslise ariyah so much she got his first smile, his first little babble and little silent giggle. She love him too, she always kissing him and asking for cuddles. She helps feed him, undress and bath him. And he loves it. She sings to him and always makes sure he is okay when he cried. It's so beautiful to watch the bond form more everyday. She has however got the the point where she tries to pick him up but she too little and he is heavy now, so we have to watch them together. But we teaching her to ask for us to lift him or if she wants a hug with him. She always saying come on baby play. Saying stand, walk come on. So we know she is going to be his biggest encouragement and teach his as he grows. 

Despite him doing so well he is still suffering with his tummy issues and pain. The doctor just keeps giving different laxatives which do not help. It's hard to watch my baby in pain. Hopefully we can get some answer soon as we have pedritians appointment in January. 

We now just all getting ready for our first family Christmas. Il will do a post of this in two weeks. This year has gone so fast.
