Holidays

Johnny had his first holiday at the beginning of this month. We took two weeks to visit family. He has travelled by plane, bus and train, and was so well behaved for the journey and slept most of the way. I was a bit worried about it all but it ended up being easy. I managed carrying all our bags plus John in the sling. He absolutely loved meeting everyone, and was so happy the whole time.

 

He turned 3 months the day we left, and with that I now have such a different little boy. His sleeping pattern has changed once again. Now likes to stay up a little longer, until about 8pm, but still sleeps a full 12 hours at night without waking up. Also has been having a long, 3-4hour nap sometime during the day which he wasn’t doing before. He is so bubbly and chirpy, loves a chat and is way more interested in his surroundings. He’s trying very hard to manipulate his body to do things but not quite getting it yet. He laughs so much now, so I’ve been having fun with trying different things to make him laugh.

We went to the beach for the first time. John enjoyed lying down looking at the clouds and having the breeze blow over him, but wasn’t too impressed when I put his feet in the water. It was too cold for him.

It was sad to say goodbye and leave everyone, and Johnny missed having all the attention. But we were both very pleased to come back home to Daddy. We missed him lots.
