Another weekend - and mother's day



Well, it has been a few days since I updated the blog, so I thought I would just add a few things while I wait for David to go to sleep. Firstly, today is Mother's Day and we went out yesterday to celebrate. We went shopping in the centre of Sydney - David's first time - and had yum cha for lunch in China Town. David bought Mum a present - a beautiful silk scarf and some casual 'trainer' type shoes for around the pool and park. We have to see whether David likes to eat the scarf too much - this might mean saving it for later.

Daddy also went shopping and bought lots - one of his periodic shopping sprees. Trousers, shirts, T-shirts and casual trainers too. David loved every minute of it, and when he got restless, we held him up and showed him the shop, which he also thought was great. He had a bottle in the restaurant, and rather than eat avocado, went to sleep. A lovely day out!

Today I put the base of the cot down - and you can see why in this photo. We had a quiet day at home and Daddy cooked Mummy a lovely brunch - a beautiful omelette full of good things. Mummy also had a nap in the afternoon, when David had a sleep. Thanks to both of you!

The other photo is David's first time in a shopping trolley. We just tried him for a short time, after unloading the shopping. He thought that it was fun! If you look carefully, you can see how he has pulled his mouse bootees apart on one foot. I have mended them subsequently, but I think that they are too small for him now.

The latest thing is pointing. Daddy taught David to point by copying Daddy, and now he does it all the time. Sometimes we touch index fingers, which David thinks is funny.
