A little worm

minibeanie would normally sleep in his crib but these are not ordinary circumstances. With his crib packed somewhere in Finland waiting for the airfreight, he has now taken to sleeping with us. Or rather me, since DH has graciously vacated our bed in favour of uninterrupted sleep. And so it was in such extraordinary circumstances, that I found myself to be awake since 4am because minibeanie was fussing, tossing and turning then.

3 hours on and a feed in between, I'm still up.


Anyhow, quite apart from the subject of sleep, or the lack thereof, minibeanie has recently started to creep! :) [For non-parents, that's usually the pre-crawl phase where babies are still pretty much on their tummies but still manage to move forwards (or backwards)]

minibeanie creeps like an overweight worm - he arches his bum, pulls up legs then extends his body forward. He accompanies this with lots of frustrated cries and it is heart-wrenching not to be helping him inch along. So far, he only creeps successfully on the bed. I suspect the sheets have less friction than his playmat thus explaining for the constant frustration whenever he's on the mat. Guess if I've been kept busy turning him over and ensuring he hasn't gotten himself into a fix!

minibeanie & his new friend, Teddy (or Nalle) or until a better name is thought up.

minibeanie is 6 months, 3 weeks and 4 days old
