Ronan

Ronan...aka Ro, Ronan Rogue, Ro ro ro your boat, Smiles-a-lot, Moanin Ronan (sometimes)
Likes...his bottle, soothers, getting changed, singing, having his face stroked, being tickled all over, his sister, waking up, whinging (sadly)
Dislikes...spoonfeeding, going to sleep, hearing his sister cry
Words to describe him...happy, whiney, bipolar!, adorable
Pastimes...munching on his fists and anything else he can get his hands on (except food), trying to eat monkey on the gym, smiling at his sister.

Ronan has a lovely, smiley personality but he's been cursed with lots of baby related discomfort that has him laughing one minute and crying the next. He went straight from trapped wind to reflux to teething without any break to start enjoying life...and teething can take 2 years apparently. Poor little mite...poor mammy and daddy too! If he wasn't such a great smiler he'd have been thrown out the window by now.

Lucy

Lucy...aka Luce, Lucy Liu, Lucy Locket, Luiseach, Lucifer (sometimes)
Likes...soft fluffy fabrics, touching hands, mammy's dressing gown, the bookshelf, the tv, sleeping
Dislikes...waking up
Words to describe her...independent, determined, serious, placid, a little dote
Pastimes...shouting and roaring for no obvious reason, making lop-sided faces, trying to pull monkey apart on the gym, covering her face with any material she can get her little hands on, arguing with the girl in the mirror.

Lucy spends her day frowning at everyone and everything. She's very selective about what she laughs at, and what makes her laugh one minute might make her cross the next. She's an incredibly easy baby...she falls asleep the minute she goes down, eats no bother, occupies herself, is never sick and rarely cries. When she does cry its a terrible sobbing cry that would break your heart and she has the cutest, gummy smile that melts our hearts every time.

Personalities

At 7 months, my two little aliens are feeling less alien these days, they've become part of our little family...or rather myself and Sean have been assimilated into their way of doing things. Their personalities are emerging every day. Its hard not to compare since we have two, so while they are not opposites, they are definitely as different as chalk and cheese...or maybe dogs and cats. I wrote these blogs at 5 months, then stored them as drafts cause I wasn't sure what was personality and what was just a baby phase. I haven't changed much so in the following blogs, I'd like to present to the world...Lucy and Ronan (in that order for alphabetical and chivalric reasons)!
