First smiles




Reuben's in his own room now for about a week, mostly feeding twice a night, around 2am and around 5am and once only about 4am - I'm hoping we can get him down to once a night soon. He's very good though and with Toby giving him an expressed feed last thing before we go to bed and putting him in his cot, he's falling asleep by himself without having to be fed or rocked to sleep. When rocking is needed, the pram has been brilliant during the day.

Reuben is starting to play with the hanging toys, well bat them anyway and will sit in the bouncer and watch his brother playing.

I'm coping pretty well with them both in real nappies, it is more washing but I'm managing with mostly just the one wash a day for everything so it's not presenting too much more work for the washing machine.
