The 3 faces of Samuel.

Since Samuel arrived, our household has been filled with dirty nappies, half-empty milk bottles and mountains of washing. I don't know about anyone else, but I hate the first few weeks of having a baby. Don't get me wrong, I love the snuggling, the newly washed smell of the little bundle of joy. But I cannot admit to liking the 3 hourly wake-up calls and screamathons. 

It seems Samuel has 3 faces.

Number 1: The 'how very dare you' scream. We see this face a lot. How DARE you change my nappy! How DARE you make me wait 15 minutes for my feed. Parents, eh? Who would have them.

Number 2: Feeeed me! (Usually followed by the scream face.)

Number 3: Ahhhh, sleeep (mummies favourite.) I have a fetish for listening to newborn babies snore. It makes me feel all warm inside. My problem is, this face does not last long enough for my liking.

Sam has also accumulated several nicknames. Piglet (owing to his recent cold, he grunts a lot!); fattie (prior to his cold he was taking a whopping 4 ounces every 3 hours!) And lastly, bigfoot;

Just imagine these lovelies kicking you in the ribs every night!
