Seven is "talking" but its a foreign language to us. Saying that though his sounds are becoming clearer and less babbly...I always pretend I know exactly what he saying and chat back to him & tell him he is very interesting and clever and smart. (most mothers do this they just don't admit it lol)
He is also rolling around the loungeroom after toys and giving hints that he might consider crawling sometime soon...although obviously when he decides to. I have no doubt we will wake up one morning and he will just up and do it and we would not have childproofed the house.
I am loving how he seems to understand everything a lot more and when he gets excited flaps his arms and kicks his legs like crazy. And his giggle is so cute and infectious...oooohhhhh I am so loved up mum even more than ever tee hee
Here is the little Mister at the park...check out those arm muscles!!!
Woah I can't believe its been almost 2 weeks since i posted. We have been busy seeing friends & family and I have been doing some mixing for my old work. Woo hoo a bit of extra cash.
Seven has a cold and cough but still manages to be his normal cheerful self (little angel). He has started to have disruptive day sleeps and I am wondering if I should try to reduce him to one long sleep in middle of day.
We have decided for his birthday that on the actual day we will celebrate it just as a family and when my parents arrive in early May we will have a family and close friends picnic at Centennial Park. It will be nice to have all grandparents in his first birthday photo and he won't know its not the actual day since he is too young to understand.
He is still eating like a champion and has not refused anything I have given him.
Also Dad is taking him to the park when he gets home from work to give Mum a bit of a break and to start dinner - its funny I still feel like they have been gone so long when its only been half an hour.
Today we went to the baby movement class for 9-11mth old babies to get some suggestions on helping our little ones to start moving. Are we insane or what? I went becos I just wanted reassurance that Seven is doing ok - and they confirmed that of course he is and reiterated that every baby is different!!
Afterwards we stopped by the birth centre and saw Karen, the midwife for Seven's birth. She is the most amazing person and every time I see her I can't thank her enough for the amazing experience of giving birth to Seven in the water. Karen was so excited to see the little man & couldn't believe how big he is and when I told her he is coming up to 11 months she nearly fell off her chair. Yep time just flies by.
Walked home past all the mansions in Randwick - wish we could win lotto. It was such a nice afternoon I took Seven down to Bronte for a swim in the rockpool. Then Stu picked us up which was great as by that stage we were both shattered.
So we were waiting for the grandparents at the cafe and I thought I might check to see how Seven's teeth growing was coming along. He has been whingey off and on for a couple of weeks (which I could only put down to teething) but only one had poked through. I could see another one near the surface but it kept retracting. As he has been fine the past few days it was a massive surprise to find that one top & bottom had cut through.
Last couple of days have been very unsettled & rainy in Sydney. That means we have been hibernating at home with a quick dash out for a coffee for Mum and to give Seven some fresh air...a little relief from cabin fever for both of us.
Our little man has not been sleeping much during the day so am wondering what to do. It may be that now he is 10months old he is not needing so much zzzz now - will have to google it and see. I am a firm believer in letting bubs lead the way on his day sleeping patterns.
Dad took Seven to the park while I stayed home and read a book. He loves to giggle at the puppies and birds.
He has started pointing a lot and "saying" aaah and thinks its hilarious if you touch his pointing finger with yours - very cute!! He also likes to pass things and then have it given back to him...although no "ta" from him yet ha ha.
