More Skillz

I am trying out a new trick. I think it has some potential for parental entertainment. I was lying down after a feed and looking around flapping my arms and wriggling my legs. Mum was talking to Dad about stuff that goes beyond the real needs of life (i.e. something other than food or sleep) when I decided that I would turn my head and look in the direction of where mum was moving. A new min-milestone in the expanding life of Erik!

More pics soon.

Grown-Up Skillz

Here I am practicing sitting up in the couch all by myself. Pretty soon my plan for world domination by cuteness will prevail!

Photo Update - Busy Busy

So, I have had a few visits in the last few days. Got some new clothes and a new toy.... notmuch to say, made it past the 3 week mark. I am getting heavier. My skinny thighs are getting a little more filled out. But, who wants talk when you can just see...

New Hat!!
Grrr... tiger.
Or maybe,
Oooo.. tiger

If you can believe it, these little fingers of mine are getting chubby now!

A visit from my Auntie Ann... I liked her lots. Slept in her lap for hours. Then when she left I decided to cry at Dad, being a big meanie pants for changing my pants.

Changes

Some new things are afoot, and it does have something to do with my feet. I think for the first time ever, I have officially out-grown one of my outfits! It seemed like only last week that my arms barely made it down the sleeves and my feet were more like knees in the legs, but now... i can't even stretch my legs out properly. It would appear that my growth spurt has begun.

I am also letting mum and dad have a little more rest at a time, I can go up to 4 hours between feeds now. So my demands are changing also.

The other news is that we all took a trip down to the Northcote town hall so that mum and dad could get injected with pertussis! Eww... but it's so they don't give me a nasty disease. I am still to little to get my own injection yet. Anyway, I slept for the entire time we were out.

New pics again in a short while.

Gramps

I had a visit from my Dad's parents today. I think Grandma was very happy to see me. Grandad looked like he could use some more practice holding a baby, but I felt safe and relaxed. I got a new present - A hat! WooT! I now have an awesome collection of hats to wear. One for any occasion. I did sleep for most of the time they were here. Grandma did get to feed me from a bottle, which was nice.

Shopping

Well that was a novelty. Mum and Dad took me outside to do the shopping. I got strapped into the harness and we braved the cold to go get some food. I was pretty quiet most of the time. Just a few snuffles and snorts. The check-out-chick was very appreciative of my immense cuteness. I suspect that she opened the isle just for us to get through faster. I don't think Dad was too impressed with the lady pushing a full trolly into the 12-items or less lane. By the time we got back I think it was time for all of us to have a snooze.
