Lovely H,
It's hard to believe that you're already 2 months old. This morning you rolled over for the first time. I had put you down on to your tummy to take a photo of you, and you were quite fed up about it and tried very hard to move yourself onto your back - and to my surprise you succeeded! I put you back onto your tum and you did it again!
You're getting so big too, and while you are still in your 0-3 month clothes barely, I'm going to have to buy size 2 nappies next time I go to the shop. You're really putting on the pounds though, which amazes me considering you're still feeding from me and me alone! I've considered giving you formula now & again for convenience but so far I have resisted because you're doing so well.
You're a very smiley and happy boy; you love to gaze up at me or your dad or your brother and give us big grins. You enjoy being passed around the various broody women neighbours too, new faces are very interesting! You're also sleeping alot better than you were, only waking once or twice in the night now which means your parents are also feeling alot more rested (thank goodness!). We still have you in our room in your bassinet and I don't think we'll move you into your room any time soon, have no fear!
Your big brother really loves you too, he always wants to know if you're OK and likes to play with you and even hold you on occasion. The night before last I held you in my arms while I read him a bedtime story (your dad was up at your brothers school reading them the riot act but that's a story for another time!) and it was wonderful to hold my two boys so close, I am very lucky indeed.
Right now your brother is looking forward to going to the UK to see all of our family. He can't wait to go on the plane, and while we're there we'll also have your christening so that your family will all be together to celebrate your arrival into this world.
Your passport arrived this week which means you can actually leave Canada. This weekend you're going with us to Darrien Lake with some friends to the theme park there, and we're camping overnight. Should be fun! You're already a well travelled little boy. As well as an early trip to Montreal, this last month you've also been to several places in Ontario. Your passport photo is very funny, you look very small and cute in it! Hopefully nobody is going to think we've stolen you as you've got a different nationality to the rest of us at the moment :-) Your dad and I promise to make you officially British as soon as we can!
Lots of love Mum, Dad & Dylan xxx
