Wednesday

Good morning, after a night battling with Axel about not lying awake sucking his hand and managing to feed him twice!! we manage to sleep to 8.30 which was lovely. We have gone back to swaddling as he wakes himself up with his hands and then he cannot stop sucking them which of course keeps him awake and us for that matter as he's accompanying the sucking with a grumbling sound, is it bad to still wrap (swaddle) him up? When we swaddle him he goes back to sleep straight away, but on the other hand he has to learn to sleep without us constraining him : ) Any ideas?? Also, he manage to poke himself in the eye so now he's eye is a bit irritated and sleep keep coming do I washed it with lukewarm boiled water. This happens quite often but it's usually his left eye but today it's his right poor thing, although I don't think he even notice it.

The sun is shining today so we will go out walking a bit with Birte who lives just around the corner. It's brilliant to have friends that lives close by, when I lived in London I always missed the ability to just "pop over" for a cuppa, so much more relaxed and it's hard to plan with this little one so much more handy, anyway, Axel is asleep now so must jump in the shower and get ready : )
