I was looking at old pictures on Flickr and was just amazed at how this
has become this
in such a short time. He’ll be nine months on Thursday. Wow. And still sleeping terribly. Yes. I remember Avery sleeping badly but I think by this age she had settled into a reasonably good sleeping pattern. KIeran seems much more resistant to that idea. I am really running low on energy. The whole experience is wearing me out. It’s not so much that I get so little sleep, because I go to bed quite early. But being woken up over and over makes it like having a newborn again. And no one is meant to deal with a newborn for nine months straight! But I continue to look ahead and hope for better nights in the future.
As for the future, it could be very different from our life right now. I won’t blog all about it right now but I think most of you know what is involved. I am alternately very excited and totally stressed.
And in closing, a joke, as told by Avery: Why did the chicken cross the road? Because it was stuck to the chicken’s foot! (This being the answer to Why did the GUM cross the road? She mixes them up. But she still thinks it’s funny enough to tell over and over again.)

Amazing difference! What a great smile Kieran has.
