Dear Harry,
You are now, incredibly, 1 month old. I don't know where the last four weeks have gone but they've been truly wonderful.
Being pregnant with you was enjoyable. You were no trouble at all, and thankfully you seem to be continuing along the same path now that you're out here in the big wide world :-)
When your daddy and I laid eyes on you for the first time we were both completely overwhelmed with love for you, and every day I think how lucky we are to have had such a gorgeous little boy. Even your big brother loves you to bits and can't wait for you to be awake so he can talk to you and kiss you.
Thinking back four weeks to when you were born, you've changed alot already. You are growing up so quickly. You're beginning to smile at me which is lovely, your little body is filling out and your features are becoming more animated every day.
The last couple of nights you've kindly given your dad and me a break by sleeping in your own bassinet for a couple of hours at a time (instead of on top of dad) thanks to a dummy. I don't like dummies, I hate them, but you do and it's a measure of how much I love you that I'm letting you use one!
What else can I tell you about yourself......
You love feeding, and I'm constantly amazed that my body is able to produce food to make your body thrive and grow.
Your bottom is definitely inherited from your dads side of the family because it never stops farting and pooing, but even this is oddly endearing because you're so small and cute.
You hate having a bath.
You love firing your weapon at your dad every time he changes your bum, covering him in wee.
You love your teddy which plays a little tune.
When you're fussy you like to go in your swing and it can send you off to sleep when nothing else will.
You love to be awake and complain from 9pm to midnight which you really need to learn to do earlier in the evening!
You find the dog extremely amusing and have smiled at her a couple of times already.
You love going out in the car.
You don't like it when dad nearly drops you on your head in your car seat because he didn't attach it properly to the stroller frame.
You love being pushed around outside in your pram in the fresh air.
You like going to nice restaurants and demanding your mum gets her boobs to feed you.
And most of all, you like being held and cuddled!
You've brought lots of happiness and joy into our lives and we all love you very much indeed. We're enjoying watching you grow and becoming aware of the world around you, and we're very glad to have you here safely with us :-)
Love Mum Dad & Dylan xxx
