All of a sudden it seems as though my baby is, well, not really a baby anymore. Sometimes it seems as though weeks and months go by without any obvious developmental milestones. It is only really when I look back on photos that I realise just how much he has changed and grown, how much more of his unique little personality is shining through. These past couple of weeks though it seems as though he is changing daily. He has been starting to say some bona fide words and so the wonderful world of conversation that we can both understand is starting to open up.
We like to hang out in cafes quite a bit. Mama likes a proper coffee (can't do instant and tea just doesn't cut it these days) in the morning and fortunately Seb is a very good cafe go-er. To be fair most of his 9 months of growing inside me was spent in one as I worked. Of course the promise of a warm milk or occasional milkshake also helps to keep him near the table. We also share a love of baked goods...
We are entering a lovely phase where it is less about needing to be a caregiver and more having a little friend along for the ride. There is so much to look forward to as he is able to interact more and more with the world. I can't wait to take him to his first movie, go camping, clamber around rockpools at the beach, see him learn to swim, and so much more. But as much fun as there is ahead of us there is so much in the present to enjoy.
And of course, when he falls asleep in my arms, I know that he will always be my little baby.
