First (whole) night in his cot - in his own room.

Yep, last night he slept like a baby. He was excellent, I put him to bed at 7pm, he slept until midnight, fed then 'til 5am fed again, then 'til 9am when we woke up.
Night before last, he went off in the cot but woke up every couple of hours and took ages to settle. By about 3am, I brought him in with us and put him in the moses basket as by then I was fed up with going back and forth. Tonight, it's now gone 9pm and he's fine. He seems perfectly comfortable in his room, his door is open, he can hear us down stairs, he can hear the telly, us talking etc and we can hear him if he cries.
We had a fab morning, bathed him in the bath with me then we left him naked for as long as we dared before putting him his grizzly bear all in one outfit with ears from Baby GAP (gift) - photo to follow, we must take one tomorrow, I doubt he will fit it by next week.
We went into Cambridge to see some Landmark friends at the seminar I helped set up in Cambridge earlier in the year - I couldn't do the seminar cos when they scheduled it, it was starting the week Leon was due. It was nice to show him off. We had lunch with them in the Graduate Centre, food very good in a school dinner sort of way.
Then we went into Cambridge shopping - we had to get passport forms and the photos for Leon's passport and Tob got a jumper. We have to go back tomorrow as we ran out of time what with 2 nappy changes and 2 feeds, one in Starbucks, one in the M&S Cafe.
Originally the idea was we went too Cambridge to buy a breast pump and various other bits from Mothercare with the vouchers we've been given, totally ran out of time. He was either asleep which was fine or crying very insistently for a change/feed making me feel like a bad mum as I made my way quickly to either a feeding spot or a loo with changing facilities.
Lots of people cooing and looking at him, it's amazing how everyone loves a new born.
We headed back to Ely in time for me to change Leon, put him in his jim jams and growbag (Sleeping bag specially for babies), feed him and get him off to sleep by just after 7pm. Lets see how long he goes tonight between feeds or if he can get him self off to sleep - he managed it once last night, I didn't expect it to work but it did. One big difference on the night before last and last night may well be leaving the landing light on, he may feel that we are still around as babies have no sense of where you go when you aren't there. It also means that if I go in to change and feed him in the night, I have just enough light so as not needing to turn the light on in the room so Leon knows it's night time.
Grandma is back home and rang this morning to say she got the album of Leon pics we sent her. She has a few weeks at home to recover from her operation before the big op which with any luck will happen over Christmas. Then in the new year we will be able to bring Leon up for the day. Peter has been printing out our blog for Grandma to read. So here's 3 cheers for Peter and a big Hello to Grandma.
Now, to fill in the passport forms!
