Seriously lil dude, you need to stop growing!! Well ok, I’ll let you grow big enough to sleep through - but after that you stop ok? You need to stay being cute and un-obnoxious forever!
The last month has been a rollercoaster for all of us as far as you’ve been concerned lil Maxy. You were sleeping pretty well at first, only waking once at 5am for a drink and then back to sleep with you. That was just to get us to relax though wasn’t it?
Then you started waking at 4am, then 3am, soon you were up twice a night, and then all of a sudden it was every. single. hour. You couldn’t be consoled! As my mummy always said “Insanity is hereditary - you get it from your kids!” I always thought that was backwards, but now I know otherwise!! You drove mummy and daddy up the wall with the lack of sleep! It lasted for 2 weeks and 2 days, and then as suddenly as it started, it stopped. You went back to only waking twice a night for milk.
With the return of (a bit) more sleep came the ability to grab out at things, and to giggle - oh that giggle! I love that giggle! You have started talking all the time to us in your own special way, and reaching out to touch my face, my hand, my hair (OUCH!). Say byebye to your necklace mummy! You are SO close to rolling yourself over - you can do a 360 if I lay you on the floor, AND you keep trying to pull your head forward to sit on your own!
You love watching your big brother play, and he’s started to show such a great interest in you. He will bring you your teddy, your dummy, pretend he’s you talking to me! He will tickle you and play “nosey-nosey-kiss” which melts my heart. You’ve turned into a little person who smiles and giggles instead of just a baby who cries, eats, poops and sleeps, and THAT makes you veeery interesting to him 
So this month, try to work on the sleeping through the night thing for mummy and daddy… please!
Love you lots little man *big snuggles*
