A little older, a little wider

Are you ready for it?
Are you really ready?
Ok.  Here it comes.

Mega-multi-super-update.
 Had my 12 month check-up at the MCHN.  Things are going pretty well.  Continuing to grow.  At this rate I will be taller than Dad by a couple centimeter.  But for now, I am 11.2kg light and 79cm short.  I am growing up fast!  So here is a pic of me looking like MacGuyver...





Since that fateful day over a year ago, there have been quite a few changes.  Not only for me.  Pip has had to deal with a whole lot less snooze time and a whole lot more noise.
For example:  "That thing" (the closest human equivalent for Pips expression upon seeing me a little too close)




Another:  "But why are there no bowls of noms for me in the lounge room?"







And the constant plea:  "Has he gone to bed yet?"

Of course, my changes are far more interesting.  One skill that I lack, which would be most excellent, is being able to stand up without holding onto something.  If I could, there would be no environment unnavigable, i.e. I could walk everywhere!  But when the worst comes to the worst, I can always start climbing.



 Starting to make progress in other areas too.  I have such advanced motor skillz that I can spoon feed myself, my chair, and the floor at the same time!!

I seem to have spent an awful lot of time driving Dad around for his appointments and what-not.  So much so I have had to resort to having car books and a car blanket.

The biggest event most recently was my birthday.  I got to see most of the people I know, I got more presents that my entire body weight.  So here are a few shots of me wearing, using, eating or just playing with some of the new things!  Thanks to everyone that shared some time with me :)
My new Train - TooT TooT!

New Hat and Jumper - good timing too, the weather is not like a Melbourne summer at all.








Despite both Mum and Dad being busy almost constantly, we did get the chance to find a pile of dirt to play in on our most recent visit to the botanical gardens.  Maybe next time I will get to try tasting some before they find me.

 Thanks for visiting!

Sorry about the long delay in updates.
