4.5 Months

Where has my baby gone?!
I look back at all the photos we have taken (of which there are many!) and can not believe the change that has taken place. My little sleepy newborn has been replaced by a longer, heavier, chubbier, alert, baby boy! It makes me feel a little sad that he is growing up so quickly.
There are so many milestones he has reached in the past few months:
* Rolling - Last week he started rolling from his back to his stomach. Over and over and over. Unfortunately he is yet to master rolling back so often gets stuck, and hence, annoyed. This development is fun and cute during the day, but not at two in the morning!
* Sleep - C has been giving us what every new parent dreams of – a full night’s sleep! I love it, but I miss not seeing him for so long. He must miss us too as every morning we are greeted with big smiles and giggles. Of course, to keep us on our toes the great sleeping sometimes goes out the window (see point 1 above).
* Travel - Like his parents, C is becoming a seasoned traveller. Well, to Griffith anyway. He survived his first plane trip at 9 weeks and a 7 hour car trip over Christmas. He survived being mobbed by extended family and friends. He has been spoilt rotten and there is barely any room in our small apartment for all the gifts he has received.
* Swimming - I never thought I’d take him swimming so early on but the girls in my mother’s group gave me the confidence to just do it and he has taken to it pretty well. There’s always a slight look of concern on his face but he never cries and kicks his little legs as we move him through the water.
* Laughing – There are two things that almost guarantee a big laugh from our little boy: tickling his belly with our faces and dancing and singing in front of the mirror! I love it, best sound in the whole world (along with his “talking” of which he does alot of - “just like his dad” according to my parents!)
We are already getting questioned by others about when we will be having our next baby. What the??!! I’m only just getting the hang of looking after one!
Happy Australia Day!! I miss you guys. Awesome pics of the bub, by the way.
We miss you too Stevie! When you coming back to visit??
Soon!! I promise!!
