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 :)
Meditation

Alternate title: Martial Artsy Psychoconcepts as coined by my friend Jeremy :)
Illustration from when the idea was for Perth to be a megalopolis with towering buildings and Zara (who is still one of the best thieves in Perth) is anime armed to the teeth.
Rolypoly bub!
Tao rolled from front to back today!
Of course I missed it. I
put him down behind me on the floor on his tummy, turned to respond to
Sprat and when i turned bacl he was directly under my chair on his back
looking somewhat stunned.
Then the tears coz the horrible cold metal support of the chair was touching his skin.
Can't wait to tell Josh when he gets back from uni, idiot woulda known sooner if he'd bothered to take the mobile with him ;)
Poor baby :(
Tiny's not feeling well :(
Nothing too serious I don't think,
just one of those things. He has a bit of the runs and has been wanting
to feed lots. I've been feeding him anywhere between every hour to his
usual 3 hours. He spent most of yesterday with me asleep (Josh was an
absolute sweetie and skipped all his tutes and things to stay home and
take care of us, I was sick as well and completely useless), and getting
his nappy changed.
When he was awake Josh put him in his sling
and wore him while doing his assignment, Tao alternated between watching
what Josh was doing and intently studying his cute little fingers and
toes. I wanted to take a photo coz it was so damn cute but was too
tired to move.
