thirty-five weeks new

You were changing and growing and surprising us constantly.

And having sworn that you were going to bum shuffle

and bypass crawling completely,

all of a sudden you were everywhere.

You weren't quite crawling yet,

but you were rolling here there and everywhere

and managing to drag yourself all over the floor on your tummy.

You had even managed to get yourself half wedged under the sofa,

and you would zone in on a particular toy

and get a determined look on your face and go for it.

Although your coordination still left a bit to be desired,

as you often ended up travelling backwards while focusing intently on going forwards.

You were getting to close to the elusive 12 hours sleep at night

and had fallen into a really great routine all of a sudden,

with very clear meal and nap times

and you seemed happy as anything now you knew where you were.

There was definitely a pattern to your days,

even down to your active times

and your more cuddly times.

It absolutely melted our hearts 

to see the way that you and your brother were starting to play together.

Your games at the moment mostly consisted of him cuddling you while you giggled,

him rolling you over on the floor whilst ticking you

which would drive you wild with excited screams and laughs,

and the two of you have shouting conversations with each other.

We could have sworn you were making each other cheekier by the day

and we wouldn't have had it any other way.
