Lots happening

Well, David is back from Hamilton Island and coping well with the cooler weather. I went out this week and bought him a few more clothes. You can see his edgy 'urban streetware' jacket in the photo on the swing. Sorry that there hasn't been an update for a while, but lots has been happening. As they say, Life just keeps happening.

I have attached a few photos of David for your edification. I like to call them Baby with a Balloon (received at the local Community Centre Open Day - see later), My favourite food is Duck! and Baby on a Swing (taken today at the playground)

David is looking really grown up now, and is standing and pulling himself up confidently. He is into everything. We are constantly watching him and moving things. He is loving hte independence though. He has had a little bit of sneezing & runny nose since day 2 at Hamilton Island - I think that it may be hayfever or an allergy to some food. I suspect blueberries, which have been included in a couple of his bought baby foods. I have also had hayfever, which is starting to clear up after a week at home. The other "usual suspect" is teething - David looks as though he is getting another tooth, with lots of dribble, fractiousness and bright red cheeks (particularly on his right side).

We went to the Open Day at Nanny Goat Hill community centre on Saturday and David had a great time - first ballon. It was originally filled with helium, but when it went flat, Dad blew it up with air. David saw a puppet show, and animals (Bandioot, bob tail lizard, stick insect, carpet python) from the Taronga Zoo mobile van, and watched a demonstration music class.

This week I have taken him to the local playground on two occasions, and he is getting to like it. Most of the equipment is for older children, but we have a little play and he crawls around on the artificial grass. The playground is fenced, and we have met other children there, which is also fairly exciting for David. He has had a little swing on the swing, with his own safety belt.

Well, that is probably enough for tonight. I tried to add another photo, but it won't go, so the machine is probably tired like me. See you soon.
