Ten Days on the Planet :)

All in all we've had a great week this last week. Praise God, we've had some pretty good sleep. Although Lily (obviously) has to feed through the night, she mostly sleeps otherwise. There's only been once or twice when she's preferred crying to sleep :)


These two kids are getting on like you wouldn't believe. If Lily's crying, it's "There, there, Lily". If she's got a dirty nappy, Noah's all-hands-on-deck to help. He seems to be coping well with the changes. Sometimes he pushes boundaries a bit further than normal, though. Maybe it's just us, but if anything he is more full-of-beans now than before Lily's arrival!


Noah and I grabbed a quiet coffee together earlier this week. It gave Kate and bit of a break, and it was fun for us boys.


But every good babycino comes to an end sometime!


Noah's pronunciation and vocabulary continue to rocket along. His newest party-trick is counting to ten, unaided! Well done, Noah :) Also, he's great at imaginative stuff, like pretending a bottle is a rocket, or make-believe eating. Mmmm.

Sleeping and feeding have been the names of the game for Lily, mostly. Oh yeah, and looking gorgeous. Oh, and being handed around for cuddles every time our friends come to visit (which has been often, but not overwhelming at all).


So my self-imposed week-off has come to an end now. I think looking after two is going to be tough for Katie, but I think she's up to it. At least student-life is flexible, so I can be called-in if need be!

Stuff to pray for? Continuing good sleep and rest for all. Perseverance for Katie as I head back to college this week. That Noah can keep learning to be a great big brother (and that we help him to do so!).
