Progress...

Well, well, well... Who would've thought it would only take me a week to get Otis sleeping soundly in his bed for 3 hours every afternoon! What a wonderful relief... I now have a period of time each day in which I can get a few things done. Who knew a sleeping baby could bring such joy?

Otis is doing so well... Strangers always comment on a few things in particular. Firstly, they are always stunned to hear his age. He is generally perceived to be a month or two older than he is. Not only is he long, but his face is quite defined — he's not a chubby baby by any means. He's also very alert, very inquisitive. The other thing people always mention is his hair! It's just the cutest — at the back it stands straight up, as if I've styled it that way! It's a beautiful golden colour, and looks a little red in the sun. At the nape of his neck it's quite long, and curls ever-so-slightly. People also comment on his eyes — so dark, so blue. They remind me of ink. Oh, and his big hands — they usually get a mention too.

I'm one proud Mummy! Can you tell?
