two and a bit months on
Baby Billy is now 2 months old - going on 3 months. Things are getting much easier now. Thanks to copious amounts of Infacol we are finished with the colic crying that had been keeping us up until 2 or 3am every night. Although we now have to contend with teething - which has started very early! But the teething crying is a walk in the park compared to colic! At the moment Billy goes to bed around 10pm and gets up around 5am - if he can just sleep for one more hour then it would be perfect!
We are starting to get out and about a bit more on the weekends - we’ve been to 2 restaurants for lunch and have been to most of Cambridge’s tea rooms. I have been making friends with other mums - Great Eastern Street is more commonly known as ’stork central’ because of all the babies here. Now that I’m not so sleep deprived and Billy is more content, we are mostly out every week day meeting up for coffees or lunches with other mums - it’s much nicer than going to work!
As well as a new tooth, Billy is also growing some hair - it looks like he is going to have a permanent quiff just like his dad! He has got a fantastic smile - sometimes he wakes me up at 4.30am but when I look in his cot and he gives me a smile I don’t care! I must not let his cute-as-a-button baby face make me too soft otherwise he’ll have me well and truly wrapped around his little finger! He starting to grab toys (although he doesn’t know how to let them go once he’s got hold of them) and he enjoys a sing-along to Nellie the Elephant. He is also starting to talk and his favourite word is ‘ngar’.
Our next challenge is public transport - next week we are taking a bus for the first time. We also have to go for Billy’s jabs, which he is going to hate!
