all change

life is suddenly very different.  well, not in some ways: i am sitting in bed with baby who is having a good long bedtime feed.  but nights are less quiet these days, as baby finds his voice to registr disapprovalvof the cot.  he likess squealing for fun too.  in the dayy we cant leaave him on yje bed so hw goes on the rush mat i bought lasy wknd.  when tou come back he is always in a new positiom, usu. flipped onto his front, desperately trying to achieve locomotion. squealing with frustration.  when you catxh his eye you are always offered a smile. he is suddenly a person who can do things: and immediately and probably as a consequence, his awareness is also different,  b has started to get frusytated when feeding/  he even tries yo move over and grab the bottle of EBM sitting on the side, or to try and knock the 'yellow baby' off the other side.  he handles the rubber giraffe with dexterity, turning it to the side he wants to chew, and even occasionally dropping it when he wants attention.  bernard is no longer just a pretty picture!
