From the archives: newborn videos

I was looking back on some videos I took of you at the newborn stage. It's amazing how much you've changed.

5 weeks old: at this stage you still weren't able to hold your head up, focus your eyes or control your hands. You were already talkative though!


7 weeks old: singing and laughing, one of my favourite videos of you:


9 weeks old: Daddy thought it would be funny to tickle your nose. I must admit, it was pretty funny.

Week 9 and baby talk

Hi Lucas,

These past couple weeks you've become so talkative! Even though you are only 2 months old, it really seems like you are having a conversation with us! Here are a couple of my favourite videos of you babbling away. The first one is of you talking to Grandma. You started off laughing and being very smiley but halfway through the video, it seemed like you were upset about something. Grandma kept saying it was because Grandpa was not holding you comfortably but we later found out it was because you did a poo!

This is a video we took this morning of you in your cot. You and Daddy are babbling away in baby talk - you sound very cute, Daddy on the other hand sounds like a crazy seagull! haha

Week 7 and laughing out loud

Dear Lucas,

My favourite time these days is when all 3 of us pile into bed on the weekends playing, talking and taking photos with you. You're at your most smiley and happy after your morning feed. Here are a couple of photos taken from the last 2 weeks. I love these priceless moments - thank goodness for iPhones to be able to capture such spontaneous photos!

You're getting more talkative this week and starting to find your voice. I took a video yesterday while you were playing on your own in the living room.
