405 days old

After returning from Australia last Friday, the wee man is starting to settle back into his regular sleeping routine. For the last two nights he's made it from 6-7pm all the way through to about 5-6am with only minimal early evening grumbles - which are usually settled with a gentle cuddle and a sweet lullaby Man Utd chant.

He's been such a happy little boy since he returned. I genuinely don't believe it's related to him coming home. Instead, I think he's just becoming more aware and absorbing and enjoying his environment. It's true what they say about each day being better than the last. As a father, I'm loving this latest stage of development. He's becoming far more interactive and developing a real personality of his own. It really is lovely to see.

Although I'd threatened to 'fix' the wee man's hair cut with the clippers , Nikki and I are actually warming to his unorthodox style. In fact, we're tempted to leave it be. What do you think?
