At the risk of being thought of as the doting grandparents that have nothing in their life except their grandchildren I set about another blog post that shows off the two most precious children in our world! Dee has just sent through some photo's and what a wonderful opportunity to update the blog. Baby Brooke is 3 weeks old today and is already looking very alert and somewhat cheeky...
Though it is a wee bit hard to stay awake for very long. She is still sleeping a lot of the time and is only now being left to wake on her own most of the time.
If she hasn't woken in 4 hours then she gets a little bit of encouragement. Dee asked Carly to pick up a head support pillow for the capsule when Carly was going shopping and Aunty Carly went for Buzzy Bee, very cute, rather "out there" and one of very few choices according to Aunty. I think it looks gorgeous!
Brooke is even starting to enjoy lying on her back looking at her mobiles - though only for a few minutes at a time! It's a bit tiring doing all this looking. Ethan lay down beside her and said "Hello Foxy, she likes her toys".
Nan stayed a bit later on Thursday night and was thrilled to be able to give bubs her bath, though she wasn't that fussed on the undressing and re-dressing stages she definitely loves the bath time. And even looks quite happy with Nan!
Ethan has been amazing, very protective of his little sister, and very patient and gentle. He is an absolute darling and seems to be growing up before our eyes. Still the cheeky wee monkey.
It's amazing to see the comparison in foot size - I didn't think Ethan's feet were that big but next to Foxy's they seem huge!
Wow - so tiny, and don't panic the other two toes are firmly attached they are just out of sight!!! Brooke had to have another blood sample today for a jaundice test, you can see her wee heel is looking a bit bruised. She's just fine but the midwife thought her "tan" was just a wee bit dark.
And here's Lightening McQueen man all ready, for bed and showing off his battle wounds as well. Ethan and Daddy having races and Ethan's big toe came off second best in a fight with the door! You've really got to hunt to find the plaster on his big toe! He doesn't seem too worried about it though.
You've just gotta love this little man!
