Sophie is doing very well with her feeding, and even sleeping. The last few nights she has made it even easier for her parents to love her, by sleeping for 4-5hr stretches between feeds, at least once a night. This little block of continual sleep is meaning that we feel slightly less like the undead and more like human beings during the day. Relatively speaking, we feel refreshed and energised! Relatively speaking.
Her general cuteness also makes it very easy to love her. Andrew is smitten, and volunteers for the first night shift to be awake and play with her so that they can cuddle and hang out together.
Sophie had her first bath on Friday, and seemed to enjoy it. She didn't cry at all (which is the complete opposite to William's first bath). Although she looks a little concerned in this photo, she seemed very relaxed throughout. It probably helps that the weather is very warm and sunny at the moment. Speaking of which, we've had a great weekend socialising at pubs and restaurants. We spent a lot of Saturday at the Isis Tavern, introducing Sophie to some Oxford friends. It was very relaxed, with the kids all running about, kicking a ball or watching swans in the nearby bend of the Thames river. William and Sophie have both been very well behaved and made it seem.....well, we can't say 'easy' but perhaps 'not as difficult as we might have thought'.
And this is the view that I see quite a bit of these days while breast-feeding on the couch, and will continue to look at over the coming months - the view out the front window of our house:
Bring on the next (and last) week of paternity leave and carry on with the blue skies and sunshine!
