Big brother
The other day Noah asked to hold the baby. Look at his face! So proud. He finds it hard to have to share mummy so much, and sometimes that frustration turns into random biting or hitting moments - normally close to bedtime when he is becoming tired. But otherwise he is a good brother. He cuddles with Leo, gives him the pacifier when he cries, rocks him when he is in the carseat (on the floor) and likes to help changing his nappy.
So far, Leo is a very content baby. Three weeks old on Tuesday and he mostly sleeps still. He is starting to become more awake and he loves to spend his awake time face to face, talking. When you talk to him he listens carefully, almost like a puppy, turning his head from side to to side as if to tune in to what you're saying. His eyes go wide open when you talk in different voices, cklick your tongue or do other noises. He loves it. He cries mostly when he is hungry and we haven't had many hours unconsolable cries.
Somethingelse that he likesis going for walks. He sleeps easily in the pram and seems to enjoy being outside. It is fine, because the rest of us do too. Noah likes the leaves, twigs and pine-needles on the ground and I enjoy the pretty views. We've had terrible weather the last week, but a few sunny days thankfully.
I don't feel ready for the darkness and the cold though. Summer went by way too quick and with too few sunny, warm days. How come summer always felt like an eternity as a child, but now it feels like a short week?
Anyway, it's a new week tomorrow. Hopefully we get more sunny days so we can go outside!
