More New Skillz

Hello World. After a long sleep there is nothing like having a stretch and yawn. As a matter of fact I enjoy it so much, some mornings I can do this for nearly 20mins before properly waking up. Although if I am hungry, then the whole waking up thing takes second place to getting attention and being fed.

A new skill that seems to be developing is my new found interest in 'things'. As can be seen here I 'found' this yellow bird-like toy. Although it's not particularly clear in this one photo, but I played with it, tried to eat it and generally flapped around with this in my hand until I let go.


Mum and I about to head out for a walk. The new carrying tek-u-ni-ku is nice. I can see the world go by, it's slightly easier to get into and out of, but there is one drawback... i drool like a big dog. The handkerchief adjustment that is happening in this photo is to collect my offerings.
Nothing special here - just another play session on the floor. This time with Dad.

3 months

Well I have made it now... had my 3 month check up with the MCH nurse. This time Dad took me and Mum had a kip at home. The main problem was that the appointment was during my feed time. So by the end of the check-up I was getting grumpy.


Pleased to report that all is going according to plan. The new stats are:

• Weight 5268 g - an increase of 916g, 32g/day since the last check (and these numbers in the other measurement - 11.5 lbs, 2 lbs, 1oz)
  
• Length (soon to be called height as I can stand up now) 59 cm - up a massive 3.5cm (23 in, 1.4 in)
  
• Head Circumference 38.5cm - only 1cm bigger, so you can tell everyone that I don't have a big head, yet...

Next big event is the vaccinations round 2 and then the 4month check-up...

Photo Update VI

Doing my stealth impression during nap time... didn't want to sleep, but I did compromise by being quiet.






Just one of those moments... I gave Dad at least 20 smiles during the photo session, but this is the best he could get.









A new style of walking. This was way too exciting for me! I could see everything, no time to snooze

Nearly 3 months

Well it would be exciting if i knew what a month is. Heck I don't even know what 3 is yet. But despite everything else, I remembered to give dad a present this morning: a big smile followed by a big chunky spew. There have been a few activities recently. Mostly just me doing my thing. Check it!


A lunch date in the park. We met up with Zia and her mum for a chat and a play. It was pretty exciting for me. I got so tired after I nearly slept through my 3pm feed time. Good thing mum was there to wake me up for it.




Here is my impression of a squirrel. The bright eyes keeping a look out for any potential threats. The hands holding the tasty tasty nut ready to be nibbled.






I will control you with the power of my mind....










Hello Ladies ;)

Activity

Been a while since my last post. Not much been going down. I have found a new game to play. It involves getting mum or dad to hold my arms, then I stand up and stare around for as long as possible. This is way better then lying on my tummy and after a feed much more comfortable than being on my back. I think the bonus is making a clear runway for anything that needs to come up... if you get my drift.My appetite seems to be growing in excess of my proportions, but I have at least been giving mum and dad a little more rest overnight. I can sleep from 7pm to 3am. However, if they haven't got enough sleep in that time then it's too bad. I can wake any time between 4am and 6am. I know I am supposed to sleep till 7, but some mornings, I need to get up early to make sure I have time to do everything that needs doing...

Like holding my head up...
Having play time with mum...
Or demanding to be carried in a very specific way otherwise I cry very loudly...

Election 2010

Well that was barely worth the effort. I spent the whole morning waiting to vote and then they tell me I am too young!! Can you believe it? But at least I got to have some fun in town doing some shopping and eating some food. IT was such a full day that I decided to sleep for 10 hours.... even the midnight poo wasn't enough to wake me up.

Smile

Hello again.
Starting to get the hang of the whole living thing. I still complain about things pretty much everyday. However, some days I complain a whole lot less than others, which is good for the parents, but it seems to make things a little harder when I have a bad day.
I got some more post the other day... a new toy! A big THANKS goes to Sarah. The Spot the Dog rattle is great. I had some fun this morning smiling at it. For those of you who don't know, Spot's mum is also called Sally.Dad has been going berserk with the camera - yet another pair of batteries drained. Are the photo's any good? I'll let you decide, I have some other pressing baby-business to attend to.
