Coo-ee, now we are one month old

Dear little Milo

Today you are one month old, and goodness how that's flown! You are much bigger and stronger than you were when you arrived on 3 July.

Today your Oma and Opa were visiting and held you and talked to you lots! You tried to talk back. You are so alert and so much more content. I think it's because we're all getting to know you better, you're feeding so much better (100% breastmilk! woohoo!), and therefore you rest better. So when you're awake, you are ready to interact and you enjoy the attention. You sort of coo-ed to us all when we held you in our arms. It was really lovely to see. I've noticed that I forget to talk to you sometimes when I'm so deep in concentration of what I am doing or have to do next - feeding, bathing, soothing, changing ... they all require my deepest thinking and reflection and I'm so focused on you that I forget to speak. It was good to see others so open to verbalise contact with you - I'm resolved to do more of it starting tomorrow!

Now you're sleeping like ... a baby. I do miss you when you sleep, but so glad that you are sleeping so well in blocks of hours (rather than the cat naps or no naps that you took a week and a half ago).

Now onto the next month, one full of other beautiful developments I'm sure!

Love your Soul Mama
