One of your dad's go-to moves for getting you to sleep is to pop you in the Ergo and play piano. Inevitably this is how you always end up - asleep with your head tilted right back, from looking up at Daddy.

Your latest obsession: a mixing bowl and spoon. Forget about all of the wonderful gifts your family gave you for Christmas - for now, this is what it's all about.

I guess it was always a given that you'd love music, but I still wonder at the way you settle when one of us sings or plays the piano. In addition to this calming influence, though, you are utterly intrigued by sound. You are so, so like your dad.

Right now, we are all very, very tired. For the last two weeks you've been waking through the night every two or three hours, wanting a feed. It is no coincidence that for the last two weeks I've been away working - just for a couple of hours a day, but clearly enough for it to impact upon you.
Now that this lot of work has finished, I can spend more time with you in the day and you will hopefully feel secure enough at night, so that we can all get some rest.

You are SO close to being able to crawl. You push yourself up, putting your weight onto your hands, then press your toes into the ground. Finally, you make it into the crawl position with your knees on the ground. You rock and wobble, trying desperately to coordinate your arms and legs enough to propel you forward, then either lurch ahead, face hitting the floor, or collapse with exhaustion on your belly, yelling with frustration.

Breastfeeding didn't come easily to you and I. For the first six weeks of your little life, we worked hard at it. It was painful, upsetting and very, very difficult. Then, finally and suddenly, it was easy. I am in wonder of the fact that my body can provide you with such nutrition and comfort. I love the calmness and connection that breastfeeding brings us both. The work at the beginning was utterly worth it in the end.
