Celebrating the football when there's a baby asleep in the next room

Yesterday as I put the little man to sleep, my wife and I gave him a group cuddle.

As he softly pushed me away, he looked me in the eye, waved, and said "bye-bye"

Clear message there kid, thanks!

@The910Andrew @ATunes84 @PaternityFrat @DadandBloated @DadUniv We tried not to stress about it too much. Sometimes he sleeps in with us, but we started him in his own room at 3 months.

(With one of us on the spare bed for a week to keep an eye!)

Patience is key, he got used to it.

Family holiday in the sun. Beautiful time watching the little guy crawl in the sand.

And then eat it.

Two thoughts on this weekend:

1) watching Pocoyo without @stephenfry narrating is pants.

2) I would love to have more than two full days to hang out with my beautiful family

What a long hiatus!

My happy place: a mountain, snow, skis, clear sky.

The opposite of that: trying to feed anything to my son, and failing repeatedly!

New year's resolution: read more.

Considering I read 0 books last year I'm quietly confident

[dadlikeme @dadlikemeuk]

My wife, as I stood getting changed: You should definitely lose that tum, you'd look really nice!

Me: ....thanks?

This week our little guy has started sharing things with us. Offering up his dummy, chewy things, and his dinner.

Completely unprompted! I melt every time!

That would be to the limit!

Everybody to the limit. Da cheat is to the limit. Everybody come on Fhqwhgads! https://t.co/wctQVNfzJp

Injections are the worst! Lucky that our little dude is so quick to smile afterwards.

Just keep smiling and saying how cute they are, and give them a big cuddle! https://t.co/NxHKu4fbO2

As he gets more of a personality, and does more things by himself, I have to remind myself he's just a baby when he gets cross for no reason, and he's not doing it to wind anybody else up!

Dadding is tough! But it's worth it.

Before kids:

"Why would anyone give their toddler an iPad worth hundreds of pounds?!"

After kids:

"I'll give you the keys to my car if you just leave me alone for one bloody minute!!!"

@SongExploder I can only you picked it apart afterwards, and talked about the composition.

Twas the mom after Christmas and all through the land, parents were struggling to fit all the toys into cars to make the journey to other relatives so that they could try and fit more baby toys into a fully laden car and everything is FINE.
