grinning I try to spend some time after each feed playing with him, and leave him to play on his own also. Sometimes I sit him on my lap and we read the paper, he gets very exicted at the pictures!
Dh has warmed up a lot to lo since we started cycling together, at the beginning he was really almost too scared to hold him. he's getting better, though. But settling for naps/sleep and a crying baby are still my exclusive departments, I say, a bit grumblingly. He does the DF, though!
Slick Our relationship is much the same, loads of talks and some fights and make-ups. He's a really, really lovely man!
Getting some giggles from LB, not a lot, but every now and again, I have a special monkey sound which he loves, and my nieces puts his feet in his mouth and then he giggles. But not too often, he's a serious chap.
I'm noticing more and more how much aware he's becoming of his surroundings. in the evening i used to pop him in his cot (after the routine), switch off the light and walk out. Now he looks up at me as I leave and gives a little cry, and in the mornings he knows where I'll appear over him. He's just figured out how to almost roll onto his side and he kicks like crazy. And have I mentiooned eating? he GOBBLES up his rice cereal, loves it.
I've been feeling a bit low the past few days, I guess I'm finding motherhood, well, harder than I thought. Or maybe that it'd be more enjoyable all around. Maybe I'm just disaapointed that i haven't turned into the earth mother I thought I would be, I sometimes really miss my old life! (hope it's ok to say this...) And at what stage does one feel confident with your new baby?!
