3 months

Angharad is 3 months old already! She's rolling onto her side and loves to shake her rattles. She especially enjoys swiping at her jingly duck with a wooden rattle, it makes a great noise. The question people always ask about little babes is 'sleeping well?' so, you'll be pleased to hear that her once nightly squawking sessions are but a fading memory, and the helpful little bunny is now bathed and in bed immediately after her big bro, often before Ben is hope from work (between 7 and 8 pm). I'm sweaty and knackered after the exertions of the double-dinner-bath-bed hour, but at least it means that I can get on with our dinner, and we can have an evening together.

She then wakes up for sometimes 1, sometimes 2 feeds but rarely before 3am, so I'm able to get a decent block of sleep even after an evening with Ben. And night feeds are a quick and peaceful process, often I'm back to sleep within half an hour after a feed & nappy change - she settles straight back to sleep with no arsing around. Good girlie. Of course you get the odd night when she does a knackering combo of 1.30 and 5.00 including a poo everywhere that needs a full change of outfit in the middle of the night, and then Leo picks up the baton by being up and ready for the day at 6.15 (lying in his cot shouting "Mummy, Mummy, MUMMY! Play TRAIN!") but not every night, thank goodness. After her brekkie she's back to sleep for another few hours, waking properly for the day between 9 and 10 am.

She's a happy and healthy little thing, placid and smiley, but gave me a bit of a scare yesterday when I found some bloody mucousy bits in her pooey nappy. She was absolutely fine in herself and I was reassured by our GP that it happens from time-to-time and, if no other symptoms are present, isn't a sign of anything wrong. Phew!
