Week 26

Hello Everyone,
Sorry about the two week hiatus...however, computer difficulties made it impossible! Dad was at the computer when a warning box came up saying "The hard drive is about to fail" an ominous message! Shortly thereafter, the screen went black and now our old computer makes a great paperweight Dad says. Fortunately, Grandad Bernie has lent us a lap top until Mum and Dad get a proper computer!!
What an eventful couple of weeks I have had!! I have added to the solid food menu significantly. I have now tried sweet potato, apples, pears, mango, rice and oatmeal cereal, bananas, butternut squash and prunes!! I am not a huge fan of the butternut squash but I love everything else....including the prunes as you can see by my photo! I have taken quite an interest in feeding myself also which Mum and Dad seem to discourage...who knows why??
I have also mastered the art of sitting up! From my Thanksgiving photo's you can see that my sitting abilities were kind of rudimentary! I had to bring my face to everything that I wanted to chew. Now I just pick it up and bring it to my mouth!!Let me tell you...that is alot easier on my Tummy especially after a meal!!
Mum had to give me the prunes for obvious reasons!! I won't go into details...however, we have had success I am pleased to announce that I had my first number 1 and 2 on the toilet!! Dad usually sits with me and we have a great chat and I play with my toes until I need to get down to business...We have to buy me a special seat for the toilet Dad says because I am not quite angled correctly at the moment and can make a mess! Anyway, I think I am a very clever boy and Mum and Dad seem to agree!!
Right...I will try and upload these pics of me now so you can see how big I am getting. There is one picture that I want my Nannies to put their glasses on for and read my shirt!! After all there are only 27 shopping days until Christmas!!
Bye Bye for now!!

Week 24

Well folks,
What a week!! As you can see by my previous posting, I am now eating solid foods!! My Dad always told me it was good stuff but, I never imagined just how good!! After a couple of days of rice cereal, I had some oatmeal cereal which was pretty good but by day four I was bored with cereal alone...so, I refused to open my mouth for mum. When she did manage to sneak some in I would blow raspberries to get rid of it. She was wearing almost as much as I was. Auntie Tarika (God love her) suggested that mum add a bit of banana to my oatmeal. At first I thought Mum was really stunned just not getting the hint that I wasn't interested...but, when I licked my lips...WOW!! It was a food explosion! As Peter Kay would say, "this is the future!!". I couldn't get enough. In fact when I finished my bowl I cried and so I got more!! I love it!! I can hardly wait to see what comes next!
I have a few photos from a day out I had with mum and Dad. They took me on a trail called the Maitland trail which is by the Maitland River just down the road from our house. Mum and Dad tell me that I am really lucky because the weather this summer and fall has been phenomenal. Dad was warm enough wearing just a T-shirt on November 12!
Well Mum says I better let her get on with the technical stuff because it sometimes takes a while to get all the photos uploaded. So, I'll sign off and let her take over.
By the way, I would just like to wish my Big Cousin Ellie a happy fourth birthday. Mum tells me I better not grow up as fast as my big cuz is!
Later Gaters!

Look at ME!!!

Wowweee!! I have been practising chewing for a while and it finally came in handy!! After attacking a piece of my mum's toast they thought they would try me with some cereal...Guess what? I loved it...can you tell by my photos???

Happy Halloween!

Wow!! What luck...two posts in one week! I just thought I would put these pics up on
< my website so you could all see my exceptionally original Halloween costume. I told my Mum that this wasn't very original but she insisted that I would look cute...and that she wouldn't be wasting money on a costume for me when I was in bed by 18:30! We only had about five trick or treaters this year...Mum couldn't believe it! There was one kid whose mum brought him round and he wasn't even dressed up!!!What is that about? He only got one candy and he was lucky he got that..Mum told him that if he didn't dress up next year she wouldn't give him anything....Fancy that..his mum took him out even though she said, "He just won't dress up" My mum said.."Well then I'd say, I guess your not going out!!"
Anyway, here are my shots...talk about higher education...those are some tall books!!
