Woo hoo! Finally broadband has arrived. No more waiting hours for an eBay page to download or an email with a text attachment. With a download speed of 1mbs, NDO offered, what I considered to be, a good deal and now it feels like the internet is fully lubed and ready to go. Only time will tell how good the service is, although I have yet to find anything that is negative about NDO. I just need to find something new to use all this excess speed on.

A quarter of a year has already hurtled passed and taking a look back into the hazy past you have changed and grown so fast. Much faster than I or Mummy could ever expected. You arrived so urgently on that cold November morning such a fragile thing, all arms and legs and in this short space of time you have transformed daily into the chubby bundle you are.

Okay, so there has been some hard times and some quite testing times along the way but I don’t recall anyone saying it will be easy. Besides in-between those times there have been amazingly beautiful times.

We have seen you begin to smile and giggle and watch your big blue eyes light up when we play. You have began to recognise and watch us with deep interest, although since your very first hours you have always been very alert – a trait I feel that must come from your mother.

After discovering the correct way to put a nappy on a boy, (a certain something MUST point in a southerly direction), and exactly how long a child can be constipated for and the distance they can projectile vomit/crap, you still continue to entertain us when you belch like a trooper – a trait, on the other hand, that your mother thinks comes from me, but I’m not so sure.

We are still adjusting to the 2 hours of military operation it now takes us to get ready just to nip up the road to Tesco and yet it will only take a mere 5 seconds in which you can change your frame of mind from “Hey, I’m really happy, I love you guys” to “FEED ME NOW YOU $!@*s”.

It has been a super hectic three months. We have visited and been visted by friends and family from all over and especially made sure that the Great Grandparents got a good cuddle. Christmas came and went in a flash, probably because neither you mum or I was either prepared or bothered about it as there was something more important in our lives to worry about, and the new year brought your first cold and two weeks of prodding and poking every red mark on your body to see whether or not your cousin had let you borrow her chicken pox.

You continue to amaze us every day, we look forward to wonder what the next three months will bring.
