Just over six months with our little boy

It is almost Christmas, our first one with Will. The last six months have passed by so quickly, so much fun, but so challenging. We enjoy waiting for all the developmental stages, especially the real food stage which we are just entering now. As long as you remember it is just for fun at first it is easy to see the funny side when the food just gets splashed around all over the place, and when Will pulls funny faces at new flavours.

We have the usual ups and downs with small phases of cold free good health and good sleep, followed more often than not by several colds in succession and terrible nights for sleep. We are just over three weeks now where Nicky has had virtually no sleep with Will getting progressively louder in his grumping. Nobody in the house can sleep now :-(

On the flip side he smiles all the time during the day and is learning new tricks all the time. We also get to do all sorts of activities with him, a few weeks ago I went to water babies with them both and saw Will in his wetsuit :-)

I hope we all have a good Christmas and that Will's cold gets better very soon and he sleeps better so we are all rested and well again. It will be good to see all the family and let them all enjoy playing with the little lad.

So far it has been a reasonable attempt to balance work and life to ensure I see enough of Will and am around to help Nicky out enough. Its all fun!
