- Sleeping with only a nappy on down my T-shirt in the hospital on your first 2 nights in the world
- How exhausting that first week was
- How we look at you and keep thinking you are a girl or Will or Kieran or Merenia
- How we worried about how much you slept in those first three weeks
- How you did 5 things in those early days- eat, sleep, poo, cry, and hiccup- I've never known a baby to hiccup so much
- How you 'woke up' in your 5th week and became so much more responsive
- How I realised at 4 weeks and 5 days that you were no longer a newborn and felt so sad and not ready for it
- How you cried and cried each time we changed your nappy- (we call you Tama the Drama Llama)
- And the first time you didn't
- How I said to you at 4wks "Hello Tama. Now you say Hello Mama" And you smiled at me
- How we worried about your brain and if it was working 'right'
- How you only slept in your bassinet for 2 nights and then came in with us and life got so much easier
- The morning you woke up just after Will came in and didn't cry or need a drink so we all just 'hung out'
- How sweet your sneezes are
- How you peed on Dad when we did your first photo shoot
- How much you blissed out in your first shower
- How much your little big brother adores you
- How the cat circled the midwife in suspicion when she was doing your checks and your were crying
- cutting your finger the first time I trimmed your nails
- when I squeezed your foot in a frustrated sleep deprived but half asleep fog
- how frustrating you habit of always throwing back your head is
