Eli and the First Steps

Since I've come along mummy and daddy have had to work more in sync with each other. No more 'miss independent woman' or 'mr gym 5 nights a week'. He's the cheese to her macaroni. The flip to her flop. The early morning lifesaver after a long night shift.

Daddy starts his day at 5am every morning. Until then, Mummy is in charge. When my cries woke her out of a deep sleep this morning she optimistically looked at the time: 4.30am - oh so close! Granny and granda took me to the park this afternoon. I had a great time on the swings and playing in the sand.

I took my FIRST STEPS today! Granted I still look like Bambi but I'll be sprinting in no time. I'll be the Usain to my Bolt. The skip in mummy's heartbeat. The run in her ragged.
