Milestones

Well we've had a few milestones with David in the last few weeks. Those that aren't so keen on babies might want to reach for a puke bucket now - we are completely enamoured and will now proceed to tell you all the details!

Latest developments: he has just started purposefully rolling over from his back onto his tummy - very cute to watch; he has started eating "solids" (not actually very solid at all, but food nonetheless!) and is loving it; and he has moved from his bassinet to his cot. He has also been attending DA (dummy-aholics Annonymous) and has been dummy-free for 2 weeks now! (he was getting a little too attached to the thing, which is a pity really, because we quite liked the effect it had on crying (ie it stopped!)). He has also started making a really cute noise - what can only be described as a crow. You will realise how significant this is if you have heard him grunting away - crowing is a much nicer sound!! All very exciting and a bit of a reminder that they really do seem to grow up very fast. He is a whopping 7.8kg at 4 1/2 months, and has the biggest smile to match!

Partners in crime: this photo is of David with his friend Reuben (Nathan and Mel Runacres' son). Perhaps a hint of future mischief in their eyes??? Their fathers were thick as thieves when they were children too so it would be a continuation of tradition :)
