Difficult to stand

A new problem has arisen which has made it even more difficult for us to get Jamie back to sleep when he wakes in the middle of the night: he's started standing up in his cot.

And what's more, he even manages to do it when he's still in his sleeping bag.

It is cute, I'll give him that. But it's also very draining.

Previously, we at least had the option of shoving his dummy in, rolling him over and hoping he'll go straight back down.

However, now, we obviously have to lay him prone first - and you can imagine how pleased he is when this indignity is inflicted upon him.

I genuinely can't remember the last time either Vanessa or I had a proper night's sleep - never mind both of us. And it really is beginning to take its toll.

But, as experienced parents keep reminding us (and fair play to them for doing so), all "phases" eventually come to an end.

Alarmingly, the end of Jamie's current phase looks anything but nigh.
