Codename: Project Roo aka Amelie Rose Bannister - Page 43

I'm very aware that I haven't posted an update in a while although there have been regular pics going up on Facebook.

Amelie is doing well and has changed a lot over the last two weeks going from a floppy, non focusing, crying newborn to a much more alert 4 week old. A lot of things that people just asume babys are born doing have to be learned and now she will focus on someone when they talk to her and turn to hear who is speaking. She also has more control of her arms and her neck is becoming stronger all the time.

She usually sleeps when we do and will go 4-5 hours in the night without needing a feed which is pretty good at this stage and when it happens we get a reasonable amount of rest although sometimes she just doesn't want to settle and last night Heather was up with her till three AM.

I'm back at work today for the first time in a month and it has been a real blow to leave her this morning and just knowing I can't devote all my time and energy to her and knowing Heather is on her own without me to at least hold Amelie whilst she gets on with things, but I know she'll do a great job without me (it won't be that different to me being there, just a lot less mess).

I'm looking forward to 5PM

I know I've probably said it before, but that second pic is just beautiful.

Hope you don't find today at work too hard, and that Aitch doesn't either, but am sure she (and you) will be just fine.

Both girlies looking simply beautiful

\o/ it's baff time

How is she finding it? Does she kick up much of a fuss? Doesn't look like it

Lovely pics

I'm hoping I'll be able to come down for a visit when I'm home. Not promising anything but hopeful. Would love to see the little one (and her parents of course).

The pic of Amelie & Aitch is absolutely beautiful. The way that she's looking up at her Mummy enthralled is just gorgeous
