Cadell

Lately Cadell has been challenging, but he has also been a joy. The last few weeks he has been sick on and off with last week being a very challenging time due to his sickness ( screaming for a while at a time and tantrums at the slightest thing, completely irrational behaviour) which has been hard, as I had thought maybe this is just a new phase he is going into. At daycare they said isn't one who has tantrums but could be learning as a lot of the others do, but I am so glad that it is almost 100% due to his illness lately ( ear infection causing him lots of pain and teething issues too). 

His true temperament is a very sweet one, he is a genuinely happy child and always has been. In saying that I am seeing now that he is also very stubborn and determined when he wants something. He is starting to have little tantrums, they last 20 seconds and are usually when he is tired and trying to do something such as stacking or lining up toys and it doesn't work the way he is wanting in his little head. 

He is still a bit dependant on me, which i am trying to work on, as he is always wanting me to pick him up/carry him and I will not be able to do that soon with a newborn. Last week was the first time I have had a bit of panic at the prospect of two under two as he was so demanding I thought i would go insane and I didn't know how i would do it with a newborn also. I was a bit relieved when we took him to the drs and realised that he definitely had a reason for his behaviour. 

I will be so happy when he starts talking properly, as that is a big frustration probably for both him and me. I know he gets more annoyed if he thinks i don't understand what he wants. 

He is a smart child, and loves doing all sorts of activities. Still loves his books, balls, and the vacuum cleaner. I would like to take him to a gym type class when he is 2, he is always on the go so I think he would benefit from it.

Bethan at 3 weeks old

She did a 7 hr stretch last night! She has been going to bed around 8-9pm and doing 6 hrs until 2 am and then going back down from 3 - 6 am but last night she slept from 8-3am then back down from 4-7am. It was lovely to have that much sleep. She's doing so well, she was 4.3kg at 2 weeks 2 days which is about 700grams up from her birth weight. She's in a bit of a routine during the day too, ive been trying to get her to have a little sleep in the morning, but the a bigger 2 +hr sleep at lunchtime, and then she will just do a few little naps before bedtime.  In the next few weeks I will work on getting her bed time down to 7pm and then 6pm. She also started cooing properly at 3 weeks 2 days and has been smiling since day 4.
