Bagua
[imported from livejournal and backdated]
Tao's started adding different noises to his repertoire (currently
comprising of some adorable cooing noises, squeals, screeches and
"ahgoo" and it's variants).
Strangely enough the most prominent
sound is "bagua". Which I realised after he'd been going
"bababababababababa" with various intonations followed by "bua" then
"gua". Then he put it together, muttering "bagua" to himself.
Currently
he's making weird throaty warbling rattly gargling noises. They sound
almost angry but every time I turn to him he's smiling. Odd boy. A few
gargles later he let me know he wanted to be picked up. He might be
ready for another nap soon.
Now I've got him and he's tryng to
get my water. He wants to get into everything :) No idea why everyone
keeps telling me t's troublesiome, I'm finding the process fascinating.
He's keen
Tiny's been able to sit assisted since he was about three months old or
so. He takes a keen interest in the world around him. He's currently
4.5 months old and he's been more and more assertively interested in
this food thing that Josh and I keep eating, as opposed to just
passively interested as he was before (when Terry suggested we should
just give him a tiny bit of apple juice to give him a taste and to which
I responded he has the rest of his life to get tastes and now was not
the time).
Updates
Quick updates while Tiny is asleep and just before I try to get on with a bit of work before going to bed myself:
- he's rolling over front to back both ways (hasn't worked out how to go from back to front yet)
- he commando-crawled forwards a little bit
- he likes being tossed up and down (well he likes the motion of being lifted up and dropped semi-rapidly, but he's not tossed)
- he's 8kg or so
There
was probably a whole pile of stuff that I wanted to write about but
completely unsurprisingly they have all decided to run away and join the
navy (or something equally drastic). Should try writing things down
when I think of them rather than trying to cram it into my brain along
with the rest of stuff I'm trying to think about :)
