I was so worried that William was going to scream the place down again that I nearly didn’t go, but with Eddie away in Madrid and Joburg all week I decided festering at home was an even less appealing option.
My fears were completely ungrounded as it turned out and William behaved impeccably throughout! We even made it through Waitrose without so much as a whimper and he has subsequently sent himself off to sleep this evening like the little angel baby that he is. Soon he’s going to be too big for his moses basket can you believe it? We’re going to have to start aclimatising him to sleeping in the cot soon.
On the one hand it’s wonderful to see him growing, he talks to us now, cooing and ahhing with the most amazing smiles that melt your heart. He is so alert and has started reaching out for things now. He’s also much more settled – partly because of his age, but also I’m sure that the osteopath has made a difference. He loves to snuggle into my shoulder and even went to sleep there this afternoon – unheard of before.
William is developing his own, special personality, it’s wonderful to watch, but at the same time I miss my newborn Will sometimes. This year is absolutely flying by.
