growing up

Hi,
Otis is growing up. He was 6 weeks old yesterday. we can't believe it. He has changed so much since birth and developed a really strong little personality. He loves to feed and watch everything going on around him.

Aunty Beck is looking very comfortable with the little man. She is divine - sewed me 2 dresses and a top just because.....they are gorgeous. We have continued to have a steady stream of visitors...Kate and Scotty cooked us lunch on sunday, rick and Kaz popped in with a cake a their beautiful daughter ruby, Tima and Louise from the Prince, Katherine from Romsey, Tash and the girls, Brett and Lisa...to name a few. I did make certain that I informed Brett that just because we had a baby didn't mean that we had nothing else to talk about !!!!
The days fly by - up early with the boys, feeding, washing, settling etc etc etc. by the evenings things can go a bit pear shaped. He seems to have a witching hour /s from around 6pm to 10pm ish. 6 weeks seems to be the time people refer to as when change occurs and crying increases. This has certainly happened as his body is developing and he is observing his environment.

Mum popped in yesterday with fruit and veg...she is in very besotted in otis. Mum and I cooked a beef casserole for our dinner.....food is very welcome as I am still eating like a monster and it seems to be hard to get dinners together. He is totally divine and very cheeky. josh and I still cannot believe that we have a son. went to a picnic party in the bot gardens last week. With both josh and I there it was easier with Otis. Our friends little boy turned 1. We are officially amongst our friends as the couple with baby...never thought it would happen as we were always at gatherings with kids as the couple without child. I think all the practice has paid off a little as we feel comfortable amongst crazy kid world and speak.....


off to maternal health nurse tomorrow to see how much our boy has grown over the last 2 weeks...


love to everyone.
