time together

21st October, 2006

Sarah's hen's day/night. I won't share any pics.... ! 

Miles came with me for most of the afternoon. Then I took him home to Paulie, gave him a breastfeed & went back for another hour or so. The boys had a lovely time together.

Hi Mama, hope you're having fun. 

Dreaming of playing with you & our fairy friends, I love you xxoo

A little message from my cousin Beth ~

'Hey how are you? We've just been to see Grandma & thought I'd let you know she sounded pleased to see you guys & was saying how cute Miles is! It was cute.'

well who could blame her?

I kiss you softly

Baby Miles,

You will be four months old on Monday. I have not spent more than a few moments away from you in that time. We have been a part of one another since you chose me to be your Mama 12 months ago.

Today you are sleeping alone - in our big family bed & I'm waiting for you to wake so that I can kiss you again & feel the warmth you give back as you smile at me with that big gummy grin.

You don't usually sleep alone - you like me to be close. Even when you were days old if we weren't touching you would somehow wriggle closer to me. A hand, a cheek, a cuddle was always needed. By us both I think. But today you sleep alone. One hour now & I miss you.

You are hard work sometimes - emotionally & physically. You still wake 2-3 hourly day & night. You don't like the pram or the car & you demand constant attention. But all of that melts away if you cough or cry or smiile. My heart breaks everytime I think you're unhappy & everytime I know you love me.

You are becoming more cheeky. Lately you like to be wrapped up to go to sleep. When you were tiny you didn't. You liked to have your hands free, you would stretch out your fingers or lace them together. You would get upset even if they slipped into your sleeve. But now, for sleep you like to be wrapped.

I lay you down on your blanket & you wail then I wrap one side around you & you give me a big grin, then the other side & a smile so wide gets wider. Your eyes sparkle at me, I don't know if they say "thanks Mama for knowing" or "no way Mama, play with me" but I pop in your dummy & snuggle you close to me. Again you wail, then stop, close your eyes, sign & fall asleep. If you don't drift off quickly I kiss you softly beteween your eyes & sing twinkle little star (sometimes many times) & you soon doze off.

I love you little one. More than I understand. I hope I can be all that you need me to be. Love Mama.

the very sweetest

1st October, 2006

Oh my, oh my ~ Little M laughed. He really laughed. He giggled, he chuckled, he cackled even & we were so overwhelmed by the moment.

The three of us were lying happily in bed together, chatting, snuggling, kissing, waking slowly to the weekend. Little M was on the pillows & sweet P & I were on our bellies facing him. I can't recall the reason but he just started to laugh. It was the very sweetest thing. Sweeter than honey. We basked in the warmth & glow of it for as long as we could ~ well into the day. This is what memories are made of.

It also happens to be Heather's Birthday. 

A wonderful afternoon @ T'Gallant Vineyard
