but, folks, that day is not today. What follows is another haphazard, grammatically-challenged jaunt through photos and video of our lives lo these last few weeks.
on 15 July 2011 for his 11am nap and for reasons known only to the Gods of Baby Sleep, our Splat! decided to sleep on his side for the first time ever in his 7 months of existence
this side sleeping lasted for approximately 3 days and nights. the first night it started, it resulted in a traumatic episode of him wedging himself face down in the corner of the cot (crib if you're reading from North America) and trapping his right arm in the slats. there were tears, there was screaming...bedtime was very delayed on 15 July 2011
then, as mysteriously as it arose, the side-sleeping went away and our Splat! returned
avocado is back on the list of Foods That Can Stay on the Planet...but only just
beetroot (aka beets) got off to a great start. but since this video was taken have been vomited right back up on the subsequent two meals they've been served. we're going to try them again tomorrow. wish us luck!
Augie's not crawling yet. in fact, he's showing zero interest whatsoever in mobilising himself. and why would you really when you can entertain yourself in so many ways?? this video is a perfect example...his toys all become just out of reach so he plays pat-a-cake, checks out the library and then, as a last bastion of self-entertainment, chews his own toes. who needs to crawl, really???
happy little man
taking advantage of a nice day. Bodhi, while maintaining the appearance of vigilant protector, is only really there for the potential treats - she's got a Pavlov response to Augie on the backyard blanket. she very much recalls the summer days of tummy time treats (for those who don't remember)
happy. and grabbing for my phone. I have a lot of photos like this now
see what I mean?
not so happy. on this day his top two teeth were giving him some grief
first toast brekky - bananas on toast. loved it.
hipstamatic experiment by Dad in the car before my yoga class
ditto
ditto. love this one
ummm...you've got a little something on your face.
this was his first go at rockmelon (aka cantaloupe, aka muskmelon depending on what part of the world you're reading this from) and he loved it. Bodhi loves that he's starting to feed himself slippery foods
more backyard fun with our blocks
sometimes lengths are gone to for the less-desirable foods on the menu (read: anything not mixed with apples or pears). and sometimes those lengths just flat don't work!
with Dad at Mussel Pool, Whiteman Park
loves his shoulder rides. with Dad at Sculpture Park, Mundaring

Augie shows us his new sounds...and his new top teeth
tummy raspberries, good for more than just a laugh as it turns out!
I look through these pics and he seems like such a happy little guy. I also know that looks can be deceiving ;)
ReplyDeletelooks can, indeed, be deceiving. I realize I do need to get more unhappy photos. It's just that when he's unhappy, he's REALLY unhappy...and LOUD. So the camera is the last thing on my mind. The first thing being: "Dear God, make this stop!!!!" And then I sing The Wheels on the Bus...which, quite frankly - no one wants or needs to hear.
