A couple of weeks ago I learnt how to sit up all by myself without mummy and daddy helping. It's so much easier to play with things and reach stuff I want now. And if I lean forward far enough I can touch my toes and even put them in my mouth - amazing!
The last few weeks mummy and daddy have let me try quite a lot of food. It's so much fun trying new things and I like that they let me hold it myself cos it gives me chance to practise my grip. My favourites so far are pineapple, strawberries, banana, bread and grapes (though mummy won't let me hold those myself yet). I also really like sharing mummy's yoghurt but she thinks the one I ate the other day might be the reason I projectile vomited in such spectacular fashion in the back of the car.
We've started having breakfast together as a family every day now. Mummy and daddy have their porridge and I have mine and we all curl up in bed together and eat and have snuggles after. Mummy keeps trying to feed the porridge to me and I keep trying to tell her to just give me the spoon. I'm a big boy now, I'm sure I can manage a spoon by myself! This morning at breakfast mummy handed me a spoon and I thought 'finally, she got the message' and began excitedly waving it around. But my spoon didn't have any food on it and mummy had a spoon in her hand that did have food on it. Well, as soon as I realised she had the one with the food I dropped my spoon and grabbed the one in her hand - mmmm, yummy.
Last week I went on holiday with mummy, daddy, grandma and grandad. We did so much in just a few days - it was pretty intense!
One day we went to the zoo and I got to see monkeys and zebras and a giraffe and llamas and .... so many animals. I got to touch some of them too. Sheep are really nice and soft but I didn't like when they licked me. There was also a great play park at the zoo. Daddy really loved playing on the slides and sometimes he even let me play on them with him. Slides are lots of fun. I think my favourite was the ball pool - being surrounded by all these colourful things that are great to chew on.
Another day we all went out for lunch with Auntie Laura and Uncle David. I was supposed to be taking a nap while they all ate but I didn't want to miss the chance to try everyone's food. I had some really nice bread and tried this stuff called cucumber too. It's easy to hold so that is good but it doesn't really taste of much so I didn't bother eating it.
By the end of the week I was pretty exhausted and grumpy. In fact if I'm honest I've had a pretty cranky few days since we got home. People don't seem to realise how tiring it is learning all this new stuff - it's a lot of hard work! Mummy has this annoying habit of waking me up if she thinks I'm sleeping too much in the day which didn't help either. Plus I slept badly in the car on the way home from holiday too. Thankfully mummy cut me some slack yesterday and let me catch up on some sleep so now I feel well rested and ready to go learn some more things. Bring on play group tomorrow!!!
