nine weeks new

It seemed incredible to think you had been in the world for two months already.

You were growing up so fast

and we're getting so big

that some of your 0-3 month clothes were already starting to look like they wouldn't last much longer.

Even your hair suddenly seemed to be growing really quickly.

This was a really good thing

given that the front of your hair had fallen out after you were born

and it had left you looking like a monk.

Now your whole head was covered in soft brown hair

and Mummy was already dreaming of the day she would french plait it for you.

You could be a little pickle sometimes during the day

and would often fight proper naps.

You might have really short little cat naps

and then wake up again

as if you were afraid you would miss something.

But you always went to bed in the evening so quickly and quietly

and were super easy to settle if you woke in the night,

so we couldn't really complain.

Your big brother was totally used to you now

and would run up to us if your cried saying "baby sad".

He loved blowing you kisses

and giving you cuddles

and would show you toys

and rock you in your chair or car seat.

Time was just flying by as a family of four

and it was already hard to remember what life had been like before you came along.

You made us feel so happy and so proud.
