Dear
Matthew and Toby
It’s now
been almost three months since ‘Squish’/‘Tobster’/‘Toby Woby’ joined the family.
It’s been a wonderful time and I can honestly say I love having two kids. I
found it really difficult the first time around on maternity leave, probably
because I was coming to terms with a huge identity shift, whereas this time I
am loving being at home with my two beautiful boys.
Toby, you
are SO. EASY. You sleep for ridiculous amounts of time in one go, you don’t cry
in the car and you are pretty happy being walked from room to room in the pram
while I do chores. You absolutely adore Matt and Matt adores you. I couldn’t
have asked for a better transition to second time motherhood.
You
rolled over for the first time at 11 weeks, and (luckily? Unluckily?) your dad
was home from work sick so we both got to watch you roll over together. You have
incredible head control, are doing mini sit ups to try and see what’s going on and
you like tummy time because you can keep an eye on what’s going on in the room.
You also
laughed for the first time at 11 weeks, at your big brother and it was music to
my ears! Baby giggles are one of the best things this world has to offer and it
is so lovely watching Matt made you chuckle.
We left
you for the first time on the weekend while we attended a wedding and you happily
guzzled down the pumped breast milk I’d left for you from a bottle. Ma Ma and
Gumps enjoyed baby cuddles and you took it all in your stride, ala typical Toby
style.
Thank you
for being such a happy go lucky baby Mr Tobmeister.
Love you
both,
Mum xxx
