Bonding with mum and dad

So I got to spend a bit of quality time with mum and dad recently. I mean, I always spend time with mum, and dad has been known to make an appearance, maybe change a nappy or two for me, whenever he's not at work.

Anyway, over the past few days I've been having some bad wind. Apparently I have been "colic", which is a fancy work meaning "I cry a lot". So, any time spent with mummy and daddy recently was either me sleeping, or me crying in their faces. I don't think they counted that as quality time. Mummy managed to get me some medicine, which tastes yucky but has been helping me feel better. I've been able to sleep more and then spend time awake which doesn't involve me crying.

Today I had a bit of a bad wind session, which had me crying pretty badly, but it was able to pass (with a resounding trump) and then I immediately settled down, at which point I looked at dad. He had been holding me for the past half hour whilst I was crying, but when I had finished I looked at him and smiled. I also made noises at him when he said things to me, which made him really excited for some reason. I think he thinks I am trying to talk to him. He even told mummy I'd said my first word. It was more of a sound than a word, but he's claiming it anyway. I also made lots of eye contact with him and with Mummy as was able to follow them round by moving my neck as they moved around me. They were very proud of me.

They were also very tired as this took place between 1:30-2:30 in the morning. I still don't understand the concept of socially acceptable hours yet, apparently.
