I have wanted to write this blog all week!
Reagan’s first go at making play dough and when its made she has to stop playing with it because important mail arrives!
Oh Reagan there is no need for extreme violence especially towards stuffed toys?
Our first family Bonfire night
Just the best picture yet and I got 4 more of similar quality when my whole family turned up at my work to spend dinnertime with me!
I may have nodded off momentarily
I am sat downstairs on the laptop mommy is upstairs asleep, Lincoln is asleep on the sofa next to me Reagan in her cot upstairs I have all the photo’s and video’s on the PC upstairs but can’t connect to it to publish them. There loads to publish right now but unfortunately until I get time to sort my IT issues out I must apologise for the lack of imagery
Last night was the definately the best night we have has since Lincoln was born, all I am going to tell you about is the positives he was a contented child that let us know if something was wrong but did’t scream accepted being changed and took mommy’s breast and drifted off to sleep soon after. This resulted in all four of us having a “good” nights sleep.
Mommy is ever the resourceful one and basically keeping us all sane (when sometimes forgetting her own sanity) said move his cot into our room put it on its highest setting and leave one side rail off and push it tight upto our bed allowing her to feed Lincoln and then slide him out of our bed into his without him knowing or her sitting up…he stays asleep and mommy just closes her eyes and sleeps herself!
It worked brilliantly last night and Im sure it will again tonight?
I look at how far we have come in 7 weeks and it makes me happy to think I have this perfect little family that mommy and me will work tirelessly (I say tirelessly in it loosest possible meaning) to make happy! I know how to love two children equally it just takes a little thought because both need differing types of love right now and both are really hard to fathom but when you do both reward you with their whole heart…
He gets better every day!

Over the last couple of days Reagan’s vocabulary has started to expand, the word “ta” has been mastered for a while and “Daddy” has been used to excess. “Ma” not so much but she could say it if she is in the mood. “Baba” when patting Lincoln is so cute when he’s awake and not so cute when he’s just dropped off and wakes with a start screaming!
“Pretty” is new so too is “Quack Quack” when you ask her what a duck does lol but there are now so many new words coming out of her mouth everyday she will be making sense more and more over the coming weeks, but it’s this week when she really started to add new formed words regularly and its so surprising everytime you hear a new word and she is so proud that you understand her.
I know it must be frustrating that she has been ‘chattering’ for weeks now using that baby type gobbledygook that meant so much to her but not a lot to anyone else, but to now have people react so enthusiastically to her new words and actually do what she is asking as well must make her so happy?
The thing is now though we already question if she will ever be quiet but now she can make us understand I doubt she ever will…from the moment she opens her eyes in a morning until she drifts off to sleep at night.
