Since the lad was born I've been making a few home movies from the video of him we've shot from time to time. These have previously been circulated to relatives, but last night I finally got round to burning some DVD copies for ourselves, and watching them made me realise how much he has already changed, how many stages have been passed even in these few months.
It's made us more determined to be quicker with the camera in future - as once a moment is gone it's gone forever, especially with my sieve-like memory these days!
Looking back at the very early footage, he seemed to specialise in just lying there dozing or not doing very much. He's a lot more of a handful these days, but all the better for it - life with him now is a very interactive experience, his means of communication so much more than sneezes, yawns and yelps.
In just over two weeks he gets his first big moment in the spotlight - his Christening. Although not a massive affair, it is bringing the respective parents together for the first time since our wedding, which should be interesting! Hope they don't fight over time with the lad!
I'll be the one at the back, keeping out of the way, I think
