Today began at 5.30am with feeds followed by a very wakeful Curtis who didnt want to go back to bed. He was obviously very excited to be up and to give me the birthday card he'd carefully written..how sweet, the wee guy has yet again spent his pocket money at Clinton cards. After a quick stroll to the park, Gareth went off to work and I stayed with the wee man again monitoring his sleep cues ready to get him in his cot as soon as he yawned. Today however he was having none of it and fought sleep despite clearly being very tired. The white noise, the cosy sleeping bag he was in, the darkened cot etc made no difference. He cried and cried in his cot but fell asleep with me, but kept waking as if having bad dreams. Rather than stress we just got on with the day which was brightened by a visit from Lisa...Curtis delighted in showing off with many smiles and gurgles.
We've been told to bath Curtis only once every 3days to avoid making patches of dry skin worse, and tonight was bath night! Boy, did he ever make up for the last 2 days..he's usually quite active in the bath but tonight I struggled to hold him and couldnt stop laughing at his splashing, and jumping antics. He is now the length of his wee bath and loves nothign better than placing his feet on one end and pushing himself up in the air out of the water whilst splashing both arms around. I really must try to get a video of this as you'd not believe a 2 month old could be so energetic! We have interpreted his behaviour as enthusiasm (although it could be argued he's trying to jump out of the bath!) and so have bought him a floatie swim seat for use at the swimming pool and hope to take him along very soon...watch this space for videos and photos!
