I can't get no sleep..........

Sleep is a rare commodity in our house these days. Georgia it has to be said is a ‘problem sleeper’ and although she just turned one, she still wakes up regularly in the night which at times gets very depressing but on the whole I can’t complain too much. A friend mentioned that I haven’t spoken so much about Georgia on my blog so I thought I’d share a few thoughts.

With the second child, we have been a bit more relaxed in general. Georgia is a lovely, happy little girl with a real glint in her eye. She gets more beautiful every day – her hair is growing longer and she has the most incredible eyes I ever saw. She is also a funny little character with a sense of humour and a cheekiness which is both adorable and a little bit exhausting at the same time. She is a feisty little thing when she wants to be and has such a strong sense of what she wants that it makes Olivia seem mild mannered in comparison. I try not to compare my girls because they are very much two individuals but in many ways they are like peas in a pod.

Having just reached her first birthday and having just started walking, Georgia’s personality is really starting to emerge in full force and I am starting to see what sort of little girl she will become. She is very sharp, adventurous and funny and is much more affectionate that Olivia was at the same age. She loves kisses and cuddles and is such an amusing little thing - she cracks me up.

Everyone says that the love you feel for your children is impossible to describe. I’d have to agree. There are no words for the way I feel about my girls and I am learning that as a parent of more than one child, you develop a very unique bond with them individually. I am trying to enjoy special time with them both and ensure that I spread myself equally between them but it is hard to juggle sometimes.

As a parent, you have to just find your own path and there are no right or wrong ways to do it. I don’t always get it right but I do my best and my girls are happy and healthy and above all they are loved more than anything!!
