The littlest man in our lives William is growing at a rapid rate of knots, putting on a healthy amount of weight and just loving the world. He's so quiet and contented most of the time that I often find myself at this crazy time of life only just remembering that we have him. That in itself is not something I'm particularly proud of but is the subject of another post.
Most importantly for his parent's sanity,
he understands how to sleep!!! Unless you too have lived through many years of extremely challenging nights with little or no sleep, backed up with a day of more at home or long days working away from home, you may not realise just what a godsend this is. He's asleep by 8 or 8:30 most nights and doesn't ususally wake until after 5. This might sound awful for those of you without kids, but we would have given anything for Phoebe to do the same, just one night ever.
As it stands, he sleeps through the night more soundly at the age of 3 months than she does at nearly 3 years. However, she is far better than she was before which we are of course still extremely grateful for.
He's got plenty of smiles to share, and just loves interacting with objects and people. After the challenges we face elsewhere in life he's a little island of simplicity - insert cuddles and/or silly faces, receive smiles. Everyone needs that in life.
