Child-proofing the liquor
I didn’t think I’d have to do this for a while, but the wine rack is now inaccessible to the kids – Cameron mainly, because at 9 months old he’s now crawling and has decided that pulling the bottles off was great fun.
Yes, that's a safety gate on the wine rack
Sorry to spoil the fun son – I’ll be spoiling the fun for many years to come so you may as well get used to it now.
Wipe that smirk off your face boy
Toilet humour?
So after about 15 minutes of trying to keep Abby (now 21 months) on her potty, she got off and laid a cable on the rug. She got off the potty, walked over to me, started straining at which point I picked her up to put her back on the potty, but I as I did that I heard a thud. A log complete with corn lying on my rug. Yes, there’s a human poo on my rug!! Yes, with corn!! Luckily it was solid enough to pick up, but still…
At least I got her to finish off on the potty because the remainder would not have come off the floor quite so easily!
Lucky for you, there are no photos to accompany this post.
Family fun
Abby and Cameron got to mingle with some of the hubby’s family yesterday. Cameron got to meet some new faces, and Abby got reaquainted with them.
Abby and her cousins riding the blanket
The kids got a real treat with chocolate, Twisties, cake and bubbles And they each got a giant ball to take home. Thanks to the lovely Omas and Aunty Alice!
Magical bubbles
Ta-da!
Abby is already 18 months old – that’s a year and a half. She’s turning into a real little girl and mummy just loves dressing her up. She’s getting back into allowing us to tie her hair up, which I love because she looks so much prettier and people won’t think she’s a boy.
My pretty little girl
She loves to read and can say and identify a lot of things in her books. She’s beginning to string words together more often, like “Baby cry” when Cameron is crying.
Story time
Six weeks have flown by so quickly. Cameron can smile and coo, and can lift his head and shoulders up during tummy time.
Me and my big little man
Cameron at five weeks old was 59cm and 5.7kg. The paediatrician’s response was “Holy moly!”. He also asked if I had taken home the right baby because I’m so little, lol! At 6 weeks Cameron weighed in at 5.97kg. He really is a growing boy!
Cameron getting chubby
Cameron slept for 7 hours straight last night, the longest uninterrupted sleep so far. He’s been doing 5 hour stretches in the last week, so I’m hoping this is progress and he’ll soon be sleeping through (as in at least 8 hours) by 8 weeks which is what Abby did. Fingers crossed!
And because sleeping babies are so cute, I have to share the below video with you. So cute!
Abby Update at 17 Months
Abby is now a big sister, though she doesn’t know what that means. She knows that Cameron is a baby, but also thinks all children are babies – even those bigger than she is!
Abby with her baby brother
Her vocab is forever extending. I’m losing track of all the words she knows because she picks up new ones so easily. She can recognise a lot of the things in her picture book and can understand many everyday things like “nappy change”, “bath time”, “bed time”, “pull your pants up” – lol.
She’s slowly learning the alphabet and numbers. She can recognise and say “A” (and sometimes will say “B” afterwards) and can say “2″ when you say “1″ but that’s about it. Still pretty good for a 17-month old.
Snuggly robe
Abby is growing up so fast. She’s becoming a real little girl. She loves to pretend to put on moisturiser, nail polish and lipstick, but still won’t keep her hair in pigtails or wear any hair accessories. It’s a shame because she looks so pretty with her hair done – oh well, we’ll have to settle for the 60s mop look instead – much more practical for a busy little monkey!
