6 short months ago you came into my life after the natural delivery I craved. I can't remember life before you were here you have completed our family.
I was worried I couldn't & wouldn't love you as much as I love your sister I didn't want to share my love for her; but i needn't have worried. The moment you were placed on my chest my heart simply doubled in size.
We slipped effortlessly into a routine once we were home. A routine of eating, sleeping, pooing & cuddles lots of cuddles. You are Breastfed & it has been easier with you as I had already fed your sister I knew what I was doing & it seems as if you do too so we make a good team. Your a bit of a snacker so your feeds have never been very long but were always frequent. Since you started solids they are less frequent but you feed much longer. You like boob to fall asleep with but your equally happy to self settle which is fine by me. I love how you cling onto me as you feed & will really miss it when we decide to stop.
Your sister has amazed me with how she has adjusted. She has her moments (mainly when your feeding) but mostly she loves to help me look after you & is the best big sister you could wish for. She spends time singing made up songs to you & bringing you toys. Watching you together makes my heart soar & i'm sure you'll be firm friends & argue like mad!!
Briley, you are so chilled out & easy going your smile lights up the room & people can't help but fall in love with you. We started weaning at 4 months as your weight gain started to tail off. You love your food & get so exited when you see your bowl & spoon. Your legs & arms go & you scream excitedly. You insist of putting your hands in your mouth while your eating making a massive mess but mummy doesn't mind (much lol)
You have mastered using your hands & now grab for everything & anything within your reach. Mainly hair & mostly mine & your sisters while we are blowing raspberries on your belly. Your very vocal & babble continuously while you are awake. You have an exited high pitched scream with we frequently get treated too. You now giggle when we tickle you or blow raspberries on your tummy or cheeks.
You love cuddles & snuggle right on in & hold on tight you are so loving just like your sister & i hope it continues. Our new favorite game is kisses i pucker up & give you kisses & you tease & tilt your head back so i can kiss under your chin which then makes you giggle it's amazing how fast you learn little things. The recent thing is putting out your hands to me when i put my hands out to ask if you want picking up. It's so amazing to see you do things like that but also a reminder your growing up way to fast.
I try to give you lots of free time on your play matt as you love rolling about. You never stay on one spot now you have mastered rolling both ways. You have such strong legs you push yourself along on your forehead to reach things you want to play with. You love to be on your feet pulling & pushing on whoever is holding you till your upright. You will take steps while holding onto our hands & look so proud of yourself when you do.
Briley, I love you more than words can express. I cannot imagine my life without you now. You & your sister are my world you drive me crazy at times but I love you unconditionally.
Keep smiling, keep making me proud baby boy.
Love you to the sun and back
Mummy
