More about George

We have had George for 4 weeks now - time has flown by in some ways - but in other ways it seems like we have had him forever. He is such a chilled, easy baby. The only struggle he has is a little wind of an evening - but he rarely cries! He has settled himself into a little routine already , awake a little in the morning and early evening ... but mostly sleeping otherwise. He spent three weeks in our bed, but is gradually integrating into the cot (until I am knackered and just get him back in our bed for the night feed and fall asleep with him!
He has the cutest face, pulls the funniest expressions and has the windiest bum I have ever heard in a baby. He is smiling already and Amelia and Lucy utterly adore him - wanting to hold him, help change his bum and generally include him in everything - even if he is asleep. He was covered in stickers today ..and the other morning they sat on the floor to show him their colouring as they did it so he wouldnt be left out!!
Duncan now has two weeks off work - its perfect timing as I feel fine,  Amelia is off school and we have two weeks to spend having fun as a family!

George

George Duncan Wall was born at 2.08 pm on Friday the 29th of June, weighing 9lb 12oz.
As his head was delivered I reached down and touched his face and he started crying before the rest of him came out. The moment that they put him on me I could hear Duncan saying 'Its a boy , Its George!' was one of the most surreal moments of my life - not only that he had come naturally, but that he is a boy!


The girls are being utterly fabulous with him - they genuinely adore him and want to hold him all time. When they came to visit us in hospital they were so excited - Amelia's first action though was to try to look at the milk coming out of my boobs - and when I explained it only comes out when George sucks it - she then asked how big my miffy now is!!! They find it utterly hysterical when he wees and poos and take great delight in tucking his willy down before his nappy is done up. He got in the bath with them after weeing all over himself during a nappy change and they could not have been more impressed.

He is a very chilled baby - feeds a lot and already has quite a few funny little habits .. fusses constantly when feeding on the left and insisting on rolling on his side and sleeping as close as he possibly can to me. He is just wonderful. I honestly thought he was a girl, but now I cant imagine not having him.

I am beyond happy.
