Action man

Well, I said that I would include some updated photos of David, and thanks to new batteries in the digital camera, here they are, taken Wednesday and Thursday this week. These are David in action, in what I call pre-crawling, but what one of the other mothers was calling crawling. Thankfully, David isn't THAT mobile yet, but it is close.

On Wednesday David should have been tired out. In the morning we put all the babies down to get acquainted and play on blankets at the cafe. I like the photo of David playing footsie with Charlotte. In the afternoon, we went to a seminar on when to put the babies on solids, and David had another two plays on the mat on the floor, with different babies - one boy (called Texas) at six months is a genuine crawler and is getting up on his knees. Lots of what looked like contact with faces & heads, but the babies didn't seem to mind at all. New toys to look as as well as new faces. Then, David & I went back to Paul's office so David and Paul's partner, Grant, could finally meet. Again, David had a play on the blanket on the floor of the office.






As you can see, David loves it all!!

All really good fun, but David got to sleep late at 8.15pm and woke up upset at 9.00pm. He settled again, but, on the whole, it might have been too much for one day.

Today (Thursday) was also very full - we picked up the new car in Parramatta (photos to follow). Paul took the new car and David & I took the old car, with baby capsule and went to a movie. Yes, I did say a movie. A local cinema has a "Babes in Arms" session every week on Thursday morning. Prams & crying babies welcome. We saw "Walk the Line" and it was fabulous - both a good film and terrific to go out. There were pram traffic jams and some crying, but I really enjoyed it. One woman took twins - in a new twin Emmaljunga. Makes me feel ashamed to complain (not that I do, as David is practically perfect). As I was late, I missed the start of the movie and a good position and I didn't see anyone from my mothers' group, so I am not sure if any of the others made it. David was tired from the big Wednesday and slept in the car from around 10.45 and went back to sleep in the pram until 12.30pm which was most of the way through the film. The noise didn't bother him, or the crying. He seemed really interested in the size of the screen but then settled and had a feed. I will definitely will try it again.


This last photo is David tonight, just before bed. He is really happy, and that is wonderful.
