It seems like the only thing that’s new this month in that Derek is awake for a longer period of the day. And considering Tristan, he became two years old and started his journey in kindergarden.
This month is more described through pictures:
Wow, I truely remember how I wrote the last blog post like it was yesterday… Okay, so what happened during the second month.
A week after his first month minibirthday Derek started holding his neck for a bit longer, but he is yet still quite shaky. Gaining weight is not a problem considering how often he demands breast milk. 💪 About 2-4 times a day Derek expresses his worry about infant gas pain. I just wonder how many others only shrug their shoulders and say that they know nothing about this problem – we, on the other hand, have seen it with Tristan and now with Derek as well. Anyway, at least Tristan can handle baby’s cry with ease – it doesn’t seem to bother him while playing on his own.
Lets start from the beginning: how did we come home and introduce Tristan with Derek. We got a note that it would be wise if Tristan would see his new baby brother not in a contact with neither of us. As Tristan fell asleep in the car when Sandor came to pick me and Derek up from the hospital we managed to drive home and welcome each other here. We put Derek in his baby crib and then Tristan came in. First he just gazed at Derek not understanding who or what is that. Then he wanted to go in Derek’s bed and he played Derek carousel lullaby. Everything went smoothly. But when we went downstairs and Tristan saw Derek in my arms, he just needed to climb to switch the place with Derek. I gave the baby to Sandor ofcourse and just that second when Tristan realised that the baby is in daddy’s arms, he needed to get there. And so we switched our children for about 10 times, I guess. Afterwards there have been some emotional breakdowns by Tristan’s side but some say that it might also be a stage at his age (learning the boundaries between what is allowed and what is not etc) and not related to his newborn brother. Don’t know, but what I do know is that we don’t want there to be any rivalry between the boys and that they would be good friends one day. 🥰🤞
The due date of our second child was set on 25th May. As Tristan was born excactly on 40+0 weeks of pregnancy then I expected the second to arrive a bit earlier up until the settled date, did not crossed my mind that the baby could be overdue. But the baby had his masterplan to keep me waiting a bit longer and I got my gift on 30th May, a day after my birthday.

After Tristan became one year old, it felt like there’s no update to add every month. Not saying that there’s nothing new every month – I rather mean that the first year (specially for a first-time mother) is more significant and the following years tend to pass by rather quickly. This time I’d write briefly about the changes that this passed year has brought.
Continue reading “Changes during the passed year”I start my post with an everlasting cliche: “They grow so fast. Time passes so quickly!” That one year has flown like a second (okay, more like a month) and our baby boy has become a toddler.
In a bit, I’m confused: it feels like Tristan has been with us for so long that I cannot even remember the times before he was born, but on the other hand the time has just flown and our little baby is already becoming a child. Like… when did that happen?
The most important progress during the month was getting on his feet without any surface to lean on, all by himself. He also has taken a few steps, but it’s quite not walking, yet (though as I understand then some consider getting up on feet as walking?). Continue reading “Our tenth month with Tristan”
This month was finally the brakethrough in our nights. Now Tristan demands feeding only two times during the night (instead of 5-6 times as before). Continue reading “Our ninth month with Tristan”
These days it feels like Tristan is developing every day. It is said that during this age babies personality will start developing, starting from finding his favourite toys and ending with getting more independant to explore the world. At this age they also may start feeling separation anxiety. Continue reading “Our eighth month with Tristan”
