24/52
It's funny how whenever I start each post and I think about the week that just been, the first thing I go to mention is about sleep. Sleep cycles, sleep at night, daytime sleeps, or just the lack of sleep! I guess it's better than discussing baby poo which is a pretty common topic around here!
So sleep has been better again this week. A couple of crappy days and blocks where he just wont go down for a nap, but it's about a million times better than a few weeks ago. We took both boys out a few times this week. Once was our first dinner out with Tristan for my sister in laws birthday. Somehow the stars all aligned and it was a perfectly timed evening. He woke for a feed about half an hour before we had to leave. So it was a quick one, then into the car for the 5 minute drive. All the inlaws were there so while he was happy and awake Tristan got passed around for kisses and cuddles. He then finished feeding and had a snooze in the pram while we ate. His sleep didn't last long, but at least he was happy and after about another hour he started grizzling and we headed home. A successful night out! Hooray!
Earlier in the day I had a dear friend of mine come over for a few hours. She was like the sweetest angel coming and fulfilling a wish of mine to get some photos of Tristan and Dylan. I was worried we'd have a cranky unco-operative baby on our hands, but he was pretty well behaved which was such a nice change. So she snapped away while he was awake and after a while he nodded off in my arms and we managed to get some sweet sleeping shots. So this week I have had the most difficult time in choosing which photos I would use for the weekly shot. There is no way I can claim these photos to be my own doing, as they are just so fantastic for a novice like me.
Tristan - you sweet little sleeping boy. And yes... I do exist in photos! Not often, but here I am!
Dylan - The best big brother for Tristan we could hope for. Your world has changed so much in the past few months, but you are really coping well. You've been learning so many new things at Kindy lately and you make me proud to be your mummy.
