Hitting another 'Wonder Weeks Leap'

Hudson is currently approaching his next Wonder Week Leap and as the book describes coming up to the next leap your bubba may be a little more irritable, fussy or clingy than usual. As noted in this blog Hudson is always a great eater and generally eats whatever I make him but he can be a little fussy for a week or so in these lead up periods. For this post I am attaching a list of the 'Never Fail' meals that Hudson will always eat regardless!!

Chicken with Sweetpotato, Apple, Pear & a pinch of ground ginger.
Pasta with beef bolognaise (I put my bolognaise through the food processor and always have about 5 or 6 veg in there)
Atlantic Salmon with sweet potato, broccoli, cauliflower & parmesan cheese sauce
5 Beans Mix with pumpkin, peas, zucchini, cinnamon & cumin.

Last Friday Hudson started showing the signs of the next leap and I made sure in the grocery shop on Sunday I included all the ingredients for these meals and pre-froze them. And meal-wise he hasn't skipped a beat. His sleeping however is a bit out of the ordinary. I'm lucky that he generally doesn't wake more than 2 times a night in phases like this or unless a new tooth has cut but yesterday he did skip his big day sleep and only power napped for 20 minutes at lunch. He was getting a little grumpy at 5pm so I put a mattress down on the floor in his room and gave him a  breastfeed and thought I'd have a little powernap with him myself to get through until bed time.. Well we both fell asleep and I woke up hearing Troy come home at 7pm! Hudson didn't even stir. I put him into his cot and thought "Well this is a bit weird but hey....never wake a sleeping baby I say!"....
I then proceeded to make dinner and Troy and I relaxed and watched some telly. Then at 10.30 Huddo woke up. Troy had been asleep for over half an hour, so Huddo and I did our usual night routine....just 4 hours later than usual. By midnight he was back in bed, snug in his jammies and up at 7 this morning like usual.
