Mini Burkhalter was born early November, just in time for Christmas. And today was the first day I got to meet her. A beautiful mini image of her mum, with fluffy red cheeks and blue eyes.
I forget how tiny they can be at only a few weeks old. I'm so used to 6 month + year olds that to cuddle something so young reminds me how fragile they are at that age.
The Burkhalter's are new parents and to see them with the Mini Burkhalter is quite surreal, yet very fun to watch how they cope with the whole new world of parental responsibility.
The topic of conversation around the dinner table is no longer about fencing competitions, work or friends. But more to do with feeds, dirty nappies and number 2's. The main topic of today was the latter and the lack of over the past 2 days.
Well today was the day. And I think she made up for it. It was definitely a stinker. It took both parents to clean her up. A good job too, because she hadn't quite finished and Mama Burkhalter just managed to catch the remains in the nappy. An experience that was described as "hot lava" coming out of the rear end. Hmm, lovely image I know. Let's hope that for their sake the number of Volcanic Nappies will be kept to a minimum.
Happy parenting and congratulations to the new parents on the lovely bundle.
