New things...

Otis has started shaking his head so as to indicate 'NO!' when he has enough food or water. He does it with a cheeky grin splitting his face in two. It's very cute, and very indicative of the little person he's quickly becoming.

He's climbing! He can't crawl, but, boy, he can climb. He can pull himself into a standing position, although can't stand unassisted just yet.

He says 'Mama' all the time now, whenever he wants me and can't quite reach me. Music to the ears!

For awhile now he's been picking things up with his feet, as if he's been the victim of a horrible hand amputation or something. Such a little monkey!

He eats anything and everything now... This week, for instance, he's loving hummus. He's also been fortunate enough to sample chocolate gelato, strawberry smoothie, aioli, feta and spinach dip, and lamb cutlets.

His day sleeps are so very unpredictable... This morning he slept 2 hours in his pram, and he's been asleep this afternoon for over an hour already. Yesterday he only had one sleep of 45 minutes and was absolutely fine! Routine? This boy laughs in the face of routine.

Sleeping with me from about 10/11 most nights, which I am now 100% at peace with. Phil still makes a bit of noise about re-settling him in his cot at that time, but it's just so easy this way. He's been fairly easy to re-settle when he wakes through the night, usually I can do this without feeds, it just depends.
