At this exact moment 6 months ago, I gave birth to B. Whoah. It feels like that time has flown by, yet it feels like he’s been here in our lives forever (and I can barely remember all the aches & pains of pregnancy and not being able to get up off the sofa without a hand! Being pregnant was marvellous)— but mostly, it scares me. He’s turning into a little boy so quickly, which has made me realise that babies really don’t stay babies for long! I’m excited for all the future milestones and adventures (and mischief!) though.

He loves: watching people eat; licking bananas (& generally trying everyone’s food!); playing on his bongo; blowing raspberries all day, every day; chatting to himself; laughing when I sing to him.

He doesn’t like: Yodeling.

He’s learnt to: say “maaaa” – almost mumma!; sleep in his own room; grow four teeth (& I can see a fifth coming through already!); sit up in his pram; pull himself up to sitting when he holds your hands!
