DTY and The Losing Battle

We've nearly conceded defeat with DTY and the feeding from Mum thing. DTY is proving too hungry and lazy to do the whole working for food thing. It's sad but there we go...

This afternoon, DTY and DTE are off to a Birthday Party. DTE is very excited and has been practising singing 'Happy Birthday' for several days now. DTY doesn't seem to have an opinion. She's happy to go along with anything, if there's a bottle of milk in it for her.

No TV For The Second Morning Running

Well, by the standards of a new parent, I had a late night - I watched England win the cricket and didn't reach bed until, gosh, 10:30.

DTY then decided that she'd like to spend most of the night eating. She still hasn't figured out the whole day/night thing. Her performance was topped off by her partner in crime, DTE, suffering an LRRS (Lost Rosie Rabbit Situation) at 2am. Needless to say, Rosie wasn't far away - she likes to explore the wide expanses of the bed whilst DTE is sleeping.

Anyway, we all wound up waking with a start at 8:30 - a quick brush of the teeth and offski for Daddy.

Double Teamed

One month into being parents for the second time, TBH and myself already find ourselves up against a formidable double-team.

DTY has mastered waking for a feed at the most annoying time possible - around 5 am. Just the time when you know there will be no sleep worth having left. This morning though, we thought we'd won a watch. An impressively quick turnaround, with so little wailing that DTE didn't rouse, left us with a vague possibility of at least a quick half hour's kip. But no. Using her ability to see through walls, DTE timed her arrival in our room to the second of us putting DTY back in her Moses Basket. 'Can you help me practice for the Dance Competition please Daddy?' (Lazytown) Oh, well!
