As of yesterday Ru-girl has been casually cruising along the couch. Oh dear.

Got onto this article from the baby board. Found the institution mentality kind of amusing.

Ruan's lower left incisor has broken through the gums. And of course I found out when she decided to teeth on my hand. It was due anyway, it had been lurking visibly just under her gums for about a week before it finally sprouted.

She's crawling really well and has pulled up a few times, the first time on the bed rail on the bed, and a couple of times on the couch. She's been trying to talk too, been making all sorts of cute noises. Today both Josh and I picked up something along the lines of "weaden dat book" which is Tao pronounciation.

Really need to take footprints of her, she is nearly seven months old. Yeesh. I guess I don't really notice because she's small compared to Tao, I swear he was the size she is now at 4-5 months.

Someone on one of the mailing lists I'm on sent a link to this cartoon which I found horribly amusing XD

That Livejournal has suddenly got a new hardcore editor.

Or maybe it's been there for a while and it's just coz I don't use it that much.

Anyways.

We were hanging out the nappies as there was sun today, we have bizarro weather (it's meant to be autumn/winter, feels like we're moving into spring), and noted the bees buzzing around the fully flowering tree that's hanging over our fence next door.  Josh has taught Tao to have a healthy fear of bees which I'm trying to turn into a healthy respect.  I had one explained to him that the bees hang around the flowers to get nectar that they make into honey.  He remembered that, telling me "Bees make honey."

I went over the nectar thing again, then expanded on the honey idea, explaining how they made honeycombs for the honey and they used the honey to feed baby bees.  So now according to Tao "Bees make honey, feed baby bees."
