Scout, as previously mentioned, you are currently at 11 weeks. Even though your mummy and I try to be accurate about details of when you two kids accomplish certain milestones, it is amazing how much of the difficulties of bringing you up evaporate upon reflection. For example, we completely forgot how difficult it is to be tethered to a tiny baby through the day when you are having a particularly needy day.
So far, though, you have been incredible. Let's try and get a few details down as facts before they are lost to the land of exaggeration that time tends to bring.
Facts:
1. You genuinely smiled on day 3. Not just wind. We were snoozing in the morning and we looked at you. When we did, you smiled.
2. After 1 week, you were making cooey noises. These are beautiful sounds. Then we realised that you seem to want to engage in a conversation. So we talk to you and you coo back. It's incredible. Sometimes you get really, really vocal, too. And you shout.
3. At 9 weeks, we started giving you time in your cot in your own room. It seemed you never really got on with the moses basket, so we tried to cut it out. By week ten, you did your first full night without waking once - went to sleep at 8.30, woke up the next morning at 630. We thought that was pretty incredible. It certainly seems like you enjoy your sleep as much as your brother. At this point, you are now consistently going to sleep about 8.30-9 and then sleeping solidly until about 4.30 - have some milk and then sleeping until about 7.30. Awake for an hour or two and then a nice nap for a good hour. This is all music to our ears.
Whilst that above paragraph is incredibly boring, I just want to get the facts on record.
4. You have a little birthmark appearing on your right shoulder.
5. You are even more ticklish than Noah.
Anyway, here are some pictures...
