Nine months old today
Growing up so fast, but still
A little baby

Muffin looks tasty
Grab it out of Leo’s mouth
Into yours it goes

Thought of a haiku
While patting you back to sleep
Now I’ve forgotten

Thought I’d resettled
And now it was time for bed
Turns out I was wrong

I saw the future
You looked like a teenager
Eyes glaring at me

What I wish for you
Good humour, resilience,
Compassion and love

Waving all the time
Wanting waves back in return
Funny little game
