Nora and I went to Baby I’s flat yesterday for a playdate with Baby I and Baby L.

Baby I is a big girl now! She’s sitting straight on her bumbo chair enjoying her lunch of butternut squash and prune mash with mashed mango for dessert and a little chunk of banana to nibble on for afters. She rocks sideways and forwards and back like a nutter, squealling with laughter.

Part of me can’t wait for Nora to grow… but I really don’t want to wish the days away either.

As mothers do when they get together, they talk about baby stool (colour, texture, etc), breastfeeding, baby development, etc. I mentioned that Nora’s been having a cold and feeling uncomfortable as her nose is all bunged up. I bought this apparatus to suck all the mucus out of her nose when little nose seemed stuffed up. Mommy L didn’t like the idea of sucking snot out of the nose and I told her there’s a filter so there’s no worry about getting it in your mouth!

But then… if it’s your baby, you’ll try anything to get her/him comfortable.
