Life with Leo
I can’t believe it’s almost 6 months since our beautiful little boy was born and consequently that long since I’ve written a post! People aren’t wrong when they say looking after a baby is a full-time job…but that you also wouldn’t have it any other way.
Every day is now full of delightful moments, whether it is amusement at Leo’s funny little expressions and noises (raspberries, gurgles, wind-breaking etc), making him laugh when we’re changing him or watching him kick his legs up and grab the toys on his activity mat. It’s a real thrill when he meets a new milestone (he’s almost sitting up by himself now) and to see how he’s filling out and growing longer.
There have been difficult bits too of course – we had some issues getting his feeding right early on and I wouldn’t say he’s the best day-time sleeper. He’s more of a cat-napper and often takes a while to settle with a fair amount of crying. And in the last couple of weeks he has gone back to waking every 3 hours at night which is hard to take when he was sleeping 12 hours a night for a while. But that’s all in a day’s work and I know it won’t last forever.
Life has definitely changed with the addition of Leo but it’s a wonderful journey that we wouldn’t give up for a second.
