Tiny is crawling around, not wuite like a pro but a lot more
competently. He's a bit slow on the startup but once he gets going he
goes pretty quick, and you'd never believe he's only been crawling for
about 3 days. He was all over the place today, trying to get to the
DVDs, the electrical cables and Josh's comics (which are on the bottom
shelf of the bookshelf due to their height). I decided there wasn't
really much need to buy him toys, he was quite happy batting and chasing
and shaking one of the cat toys (a small ball with a bell in it) around
:P
After watching the clothes get rained on (the rain was
unexpected) we decided to take him to the park to play, seeing as he was
trying to climb up on things (we'll ignore the fact that he can't pull
up to stand properly yet). I sat with him at the park while Josh
walked the mad dog around the place, he played in the sand and we sent
him down the slide a couple of times. Tao was quite fascinated with the
sand, picking it up and letting it run through his fingers. I made a
couple of mounds for him to destroy, and took him for a toddle through
it which amused him greatly.
He fell asleep in the back sling on
the way home. I tried putting him down gently on the futon so he'd
continue sleeping but no luck, he woke up with his eyes shut and his
mouth open and wailed quite pathetically when he couldn't find what he
was after. I jumped over and gave him a boob til he went back to sleep
and he's settled for a nap now, possibly for the night. Which means
he'll miss dinner but oh well, no big deal. He will need a bath when
he's next awake enough to take one, he's still got a bit of sand and
grit on him.
Was Josh's first Father's Day today, think he's had a
good day so far :) He got a lot of playtime and cuddletime with his son
(and a nice break from his assignments coz he's finished one and needed
to chill before hitting the next one). No idea how we're going to cap
it off, but I'm sure we'll think of something nice.
