7 weeks and all is well





Hi everyone!

I can't seem to turn the underline off so I'm gonna ignore it.

We've been busy and even found time and energy to do things other than feeding baby and changing nappies!

I (Aimee) am getting more sleep as Seamus is sleeping for longer and longer stretches. Sometimes he sleeps for 5-6 hours at night which is really nice. Week before last I was a bridesmaid (or matron of honour as us married people are called) for Bekah. I don't have any pictures of that though (which is odd) but if I get my hands on a good one I'll post it. Then last week we went to the wedding of Paula and Alex, Seamus was perfect and got cuddled all evening by other guests making our evening all the more relaxing. Tomorrow we're attempting our most ambitious weekend yet. We're hosting a barbeque! It was Emmett's idea and worryingly success relies entirely on Seamus and his sleeping tonight.

Anyway that's us all up to date so here are some cute pics.

Totally satisfied after a big feed, like any true boy the way to his heart is through his stomach.

Helping Mum with the washing out in the backyard.

Smiles are hard to catch on camera, this one is blurry but the best pic yet.

We don't have a bathtub, we do have a baby bath but have found a bucket also works well.

He's huge! 6kg at 7 weeks and wearing 00 clothing already. Note the cloth nappy, not only environmentally friendly but they make for such cute bottoms.


Hanging with his Granddad (my Dad) in their backyard where the new house is being built.
 
"No screaming in the house" sleeping outside because he was making too much noise inside. The fresh air is good for him and he did go to sleep really quickly after I put him out.

An update at last

Hello patient readers. While obviously we have a good excuse we're sorry we haven't updated sooner. Wee Seamus is 4 weeks old tomorrow and is growing rapidly. He's beginning to sleep longer at night (like a whole 4 hours at times!) and will even give us the odd smile to encourage us. We're all healthy and well if a little tired at times. We hope you enjoy this pictorial update !)
4 weeks tomorrow and as handsome as ever.
Not so skinny anymore, filling out those chicken legs!
Happy with his great Nana on our trip to Wanganui.
Chilling with his cousin Tyson (4 1/2 months old) again in Wanganui.
Too cute, Summer baby.
Our truly portable port-a-baby.
"I'm wide awake Dad, what's wrong with you?"
Ahhhh happy Daddy pic.
Sleep, what seems like a rare state some days.
Great Ma on Christmas day.
Totally content (haha) in Aunty Jo's arms on Christmas day.
His criminall cute Christmas suit. He pooed through it early on on Christmas day and changed into something a bit cooler for the Summer day.
He loves bath time, it makes his hair go curly.
