Days, weeks, months...

Everyday while i get asked how old Peanut is. I get stopped by strangers while i am at the shops, asked by friends who need a refresher, M34tb4LL gets asked by colleagues at his work who have nothing else to say to each other. And everyday his age is different.

For me (my age) the answer is easy, i just quote to the year that i have turned - no halfs or nearlyies, just the year. But for one so young, a couple of days does make all the difference. It is the difference between him being able to focus his eyes a certain distance and him being able to open and close his hand to grab at something, him knowing the voices of those around him and sleeping for more than two hour without needing a feed.

For the first few weeks after he was born, his age was quoted in days - 2day, 6 days, 10 days. Then when he got to two weeks it was weeks that his age was quoted in, up until the 8 week mark. Then he turned two months.

I'm not saying that he growing up too fast or anything like that, i'm really loving watching him get older, watching him loosing that tiny baby look and getting a glimpse of what he will look like as a toddler. And as each (now) month goes by, i am looking forward to watching him learn to roll over, crawl and walk.

Tomorrow is our first mothers group with other new mums in the area, and there is going to be another baby Logan in the group!!! I am keen to find out where the inspiration for calling her son Logan comes from.
