I almost started to despair last night when Conrad stirred at 1.40am, only two hours after his last night-time feed… The previous night he had woke up and cried – almost desperately – after 3 hours, 2 hours, then 1.5 hours. Nothing else seemed to be the matter, so I fed him, and after each feed he drifted off to sleep again, and in the morning he was fine. But when last night seemed to be a repeat, I worried that we were going in the completely opposite direction of Conrad sleeping through the night… As it happened, Conrad settled himself back to sleep again at 1.40am without a feed and didn’t wake up again until 4.25am. Phew…! (Maybe we are heading in the right direction after all…)<\/p>\n
This morning, Conrad only slept for an hour when we were out in the park – by the time we got back home he was wide awake and pretty chirpy. I gave him his next bottle sitting in the sofa with Jessica next to us. Jessica lent back against the cushions and Conrad’s foot brushed her cheek which made her giggle – and she decided to keep putting her face right next to his feet so he’d do it again and again, which of course he did. Great fun!<\/p>\n
A bit later, after Conrad had finished his milk and was sitting on my lap to let it settle in his tummy, the siblings were ‘chatting’ to and smiling at each other, and then Jessica gave Conrad a kiss: a little peck on the cheek, the way she has kissed me and Ian before. Adorable! (But nothing they’ll probably thank me for bringing up in future – at least not until they’re grown up enough to not be awkwardly embarrassed anymore…)<\/p>\n
