Well.. to continue on from the last post, the Teething Fairy is still with us :( And still no toothy-pegs to show for all those tears. This week our household has been a sleepless one by night and a zombie-stricken one by day. But when your house contains a baby, isn't that usually the case?
Overnight Noah decided to do a little language study. When I went in this morning to get him out of his cot, he greeted me with a whole heap of sounds I've never hear him say before. C's and U's, W's and B's... up until now its all been ooo's and arr's with a few goo's thrown in for good measure.
Last week Noah took his first (supported) steps. This week, hes off and racing! Yesterday, he took 31 steps in a row across the lounge room while holding onto my hands. Last week he just watched in amazement as his feet moved one step after the other, now he just looks at where he wants to go and refuses to go in any other direction. I've been trying to encourage him to crawl, but as it involves starting out on his tummy, hes not having a bar of it..
Oh well, I've come to realise Noah is very stubborn! (can't imagine where he gets THAT from :P ) He is capable of doing certain things, i've seen him do them when he doesnt think anyones watching, but you can't force, encourage or even losely hint or suggest it to him.. He will do it only if he vaguely feels like it and is quite happy to remind you of that with a good old fashioned tanty if you even try. A trait which I'm sure will serve him well later in life, but Lord help us through the toddler (and teen) years!!
More developments of this week:
- squealing (and i mean ear drum bursting, glass shattering squealing),
- the beginings of the 'turn yourself into jelly and wriggle and slip your way to feedom' when being held,
- blowing raspberries when he gets bored with a bottle, covering everyone/thing in the vecinity with milk.
- Travels like a big boy - since he's now reached the magical 8kg mark, his carseat can be turned around so he travels facing forward, a big step in a little guys life! and one that he's very happy about.. if a little confused at first.
- cuddles :) . So very sweet! He has for a few weeks now snuggled into your neck when hes still sleepy after waking up.. but now he wraps his arms around your neck for a cuddle.. pure love. so thats why i got myself into all of this!
