Morgan & Scout fight it out for first dibs on Christmas Cheer
Just spent a week in Bris Vegas with my brethren for an early Christmas. ‘Twas a great visit, although Scout had a very average first night. See, my brother is going deaf. He swears to GOD he’s not, but he insists on turning the TV up as loud as it can possibly go. Something about surround-sound atmosphere or something. And the whole family (including my folks who drove down for a few days) insist on getting up at 5 a.m. That’s the crack of dawn, for those of you who don’t actually see 5 a.m. But the upshot of it was that Scout didn’t sleep much. So neither did we.
Sleep deprivation is still a curse, even now Scout is 11 months. Does it ever stop? Please. Make it stop.
It was the first time she’d met her two cousins Connor (5 y.o) and Morgan, who, at 7 months is 1.5 kgs heavier than she. I’ve never seen her take to anyone like she took to Connor – she LOVED him and followed him around the house. It was cute, although Connor got a bit jack of it after a bit, complaining to whoever would listen, “Can you come pick her up? Can you pick her UP????”
Scout prepares to chow down on her first ever Xmas pressie
Our final night was spent with my best bud Bron, her partner Dan and her little (cross-eyed) munchkin, Anouk, quaffing champagne whilst Scout slept like an absolute dream, with fairy christmas lights dancing outside her room. Very peaceful.
Scout’s Christmas wish is for a smooth Papa
