Hamish, I wrote this over a month ago and forgot to post it! ----------------------------- My sweet, sweet boy. Tonight, daddy went to pick you up to take you to bed and you scampered under the table. You then proceeded to crawl out of reach whenever daddy got near and I laughed the hardest I’ve laughed in a long time. It was so cute and so grown up. After you had been asleep for only an hour, I heard you through the monitor - you were sobbing. I ran in to you to find you a bit shaken and rather sweaty so I scooped you up and you nuzzled into the crook of my neck, where you stayed during my entire rendition of Brahm’s Lullaby. Once you had calmed down, I placed you back into your bed and you immediately rolled over to your side and began snoring gently. I stayed for a few moments, listening, watching. Then I tucked you in and placed a kiss from my hand to your forehead. My sweet boy, you are fast becoming a child, and you long to zoom through life and grow up quicker than I’m comfortable with… But stay at this stage a while, this baby stage where all you need is mummy to cuddle you and sing you a lullaby to feel safe again. If not for yourself, then for me… ----------------------------- Today you turn 11 months old. I've missed your 10 month update, but I promise to combine 10 and 11 months in one super post.... So much has happend! It's the early hours of the morning and your mum has insomnia and your dad has jetlag! You are the only one sleeping peacefully in this house. Ok, must at least try and shut my eyes... It's my birthday and daddy has some big surprise for me tomorrow! Yay!
