Teeth, food and Penguins

Thursday 13th November 2008

We had baby signs again this weekend which was good - we were sleeping!! Afterwards we went to look around cars and have a lovely lunch at Boat Quay. Sunday we had a nice chilling out day around the house which was fun. Daddy was very impressed that I have now made friends with Gertrude as the pictures at the top show.

I am still busy drooling everywhere and biting on things, mummy tried to get a picture of my teeth, but only managed to get the bottom two, whilst I was busy making a mess eating my breadstick. I am really enjoying my food and getting better all the time at chewing lumps - I have had pizza potatoes this week (they were okay but not as exciting as they sound), but otherwise having a healthy diet of meat and veg - yummy. I am enjoying some of my finger food now - especially my baby crisps - mummy shouted at me tonight as i put one in whole and then tried adding the second one straight away! Hee hee. I am also managing to feed myself - kind of!! I help mummy with my desserts now - mummy does 3 spoons and i do the fourth one and 9/10 times i get it in my mouth (with a bit of mess on the way in). 

I am getting too independent though mummy says as this morning when we were eating breakfast mummy stopped feeding me to have a mouthful of her cereal and when she turned back to me i had taken the spoon out of the bowl and already put it in my mouth!! I can also brush my own teeth now. And I have the Fallas security gene - when anyone leaves I watch them go down the corridor, close the door behind them, try to turn the lock and then check the spy hole to make sure they have gone!!!

We met up with Charlotte again this week which was nice, she was busy teething too, so we compared notes!! We also made it to swimming, we had not been for ages and we were lucky as the thunder struck just as we were singing our last song! I also managed this week to kick whilst i was swimming underwater to mummy - yeah for me!!!

Oh well that was this week I think. Will let you know what we get up to next week - I am slowly learning more and more about Santa Claus and I have now seen loads of Christmas Trees (even in people's houses - in November?!), although to be honest not sure what all the fuss is about. Oh exciting news though, mummy and I went to Ikea this week too - it is a really big one with a huge restaurant and a big play area - now that is exciting!!!!

Kisses for now

PS We have also been busy making plans - we have booked our flights to the UK, train tickets to Yorkshire and flights to Hong Kong - all very exciting, so we will see you all very soon, wherever you may be!!!!
