When I say 'legs out' to Jydan he most of the time moves them properly to a good sitting position now. :)


Jydan has THE best personality. He is such a giggle pot. He laughs and laughs. At anything really.
 My photographer posted a blog from Jydan's first birthday watermelon smash and I think it totally shows how much personality he has!
Check it out HERE
Jydan has grown really really well now, he has finally grown out of his 00 (3-6 month) shorts and fitting into 0's (6-12 months) really well!  I'm so happy for him! I think it's all to do with him being on formula now, he drinks between 400-500mls a day, sometimes more. The formula has also helped with his sleeping.. win win win!
His eating is still not the best.. but he is having afternoon tea now. So that's a little bit of improvement.
A typical days diet for Jydan is:
About 1/2 a slice of toast for breakfast, some fruit, some cubes of cheese and some ham for lunch (today he had a handful of penna pasta), and for afternoon tea he might have a couple of biscuits, or mini rice cakes or a handful of grapes - depending on what he has had in his diet during the day. For dinner it's meat and veggies, his favourite veggies is carrot and corn cobs. He doesn't have heaps. Sometimes not much at all. He might have 4-5 little pieces of meat and half a corn cob.
So he isn't a big eater at all! But there's a little bit of improvement.
He is learning so many things, working out so many things and using his imagination really well.
We've introduced the potty this month too, which you can read about HERE. I'm pretty excited about starting the toilet training journey! Can't wait to share each month how it's going too.
