Hot Hot Hot

It's been about 27 degrees here today which poses all sorts of questions!

What to do with a baby!

Vest or no vest (no vest).

Socks or no socks (no socks).

Time outside or stay inside?  (outside until 11am then inside until 3pm then outside again!)

Stick to feeding routines?  (Just fed on demand and got greeny poop for it which means lots of foremilk has been drunk but I guess that's a good thing on a hot day)

Then the real poser question - night time - sleep suit, gro bag or vest?

We've just put him in a vest tonight to reassess at my bed time of 9.30 as the gro thermometer was indicating red with a sad face, and 25 degrees which is waaaay to hot for what's recommended for a baby.  I hate the sad face on things as it means baby will not like it.

Anyhow, he woke himself up just, for the first time in ages!  He actually cried!  I was so surprised to hear him through the monitor!  He had another feed to settle himself down, and has gone back to sleep again.  Poor Joel, he's not been terribly happy in the hot weather, although first thing we had some lovely smiles!  Here's some pictures from today:

Joel on seeing his Daddy this morning!

Cheeky smiles for Mummy!

Relaxing in the garden.

Trying to keep cool in the shade and catch a breeze.
