six weeks new

You were getting so big, literally.

You hit your six week growth spurt

and had turned into a milk monster.

You seemed to want to feed all the time

and it was even disturbing your sleep.

Which was very frustrating and tiring for us

because you had always been such a good sleeper

and we had got used to it.

You had outgrown all of your newborn size clothes

and were all beautifully chubby.

You were fast losing that 'newborn look' too

and were starting to look more like a baby girl.

We had started to put you down in the big cot for your naps

and you seemed to really like the extra space.

You definitely liked to spread out when you were sleeping

and would be like a true starfish in your slumber.

You had such an alert face

and would stare at people's faces intently.

You would turn towards our voices when we spoke,

and by our, we mean Mummy, Daddy and your big brother.

You were clearly a big fan of your older brother

because you would often stop grizzling at the sound of his voice

and would move your head and eyes to watch him running around.

You were smiling more and more

and always in response to a big smiley face from us

or a sing-song voice.

It was so lovely to see you learning and interacting more

and we enjoyed any opportunity to just stare at you and smile with you.
