The busy life of a baby

It's amazing isn't it? I just can't believe how time consuming a small baby is and the main reason that I've not had a chance to update you on his progress.

Thomas and I wake up at about 9am and by the time he's had something to eat, spent an hour on his playmat while his mummy washes up all the overnight bottles and tidies upstairs, it's 11.30. Then while he has a short nap, his mummy leaps onto the treadmill for half and hour to try and get her figure back. Then more playing with mummy before he has some more food and then a longer nap when his mummy finally gets a couple of hours off to do the washing, check the emails or pop to the shop to get dinner.

Before I know it's 4pm and time for more playing, bathing, feeding and finally sleeping at around 7pm. Phew!!

And another thing, why does it take so long to wind a baby?? I must spend between 2 and 3 hours a day in search of wind from Thomas' tummy. Sometimes, it's just impossible and I give up only to lay him down and for him to scream two minutes later from the discomfort so we have to start all over again.

Thankfully, I love spending time with Thomas so I don't really care that he takes up most of my day especially when he looks at me and gives me a big beaming smile. I only wish that I didn't have to do the washing, clean the bottles, etc. because then I could spend a few minutes longer entertaining him.

Since my last post, we've been out and about visiting family in Brighton and Wales as well as enjoying a night away in a B&B in Whitstable (here's Thomas with his daddy walking along the seafront).

We've also had another new addition to the family as a cousin has just had a little baby girl called Bethany and Thomas has already been down to Peacehaven to meet her (here's Mark with his new daughter Bethany).

I'll try not to leave it so long before the next post.....
