Time is flying....half a year gone already!


Haven't written for a while...been crazy working and house sitting for 3 weeks. It's amazing how time flys!!

Duke is now 6.5 months and its a whole new ball game. The baby is gone and hello independent infant.....when we got home from house sitting he was really unsettled going to bed as I think the portacot he was sleeping in for the past 3 weeks became very familiar to him and his own cot became forgien.
The dummy is back in the arvos (he now knows a sleep means missing out on play time) otherwise no sleep so I have found the Tommmee Tippee dummy for 12-18mnths its ridiculously big but he cant force that backwards in his mouth!!

At 6 months he is now aware of things and Mr Johnny Knoxville who loves being thrown around now gets scared!! His large soft toy cow on his top shelf has become scary to him as I found out as I lifted him up for him too see it as I used too....tears and his face is full of fright!
Moo Moos is in the cupboard for a holiday.

I'm still getting up giving him a bottle, he still takes a full one so until he is getting enough during the day (which some days he's not) I'm happy to get up...surely only another 3- 6 month to go I can see a light at the end of the tunnel.
This is the fun age for new tricks which include sitting up, banging his hands on his high chair and clapping his hands which he starts wide hitting his hips then pulls in tight for the hand clap....too funny to watch!
Toys are now interesting....I bought him a bag of soft Underwater characters which he just loves as you get his excited about whats coming out of the bag...but he really loves just putting them in his mouth!!
He has now been for his first swim and has been underwater and loved it....have to look into swimming lessons.
Off to Bali next week with my BF for 4 nights of work and play without kids.....its going to be really hard to be away from them but I am looking forward too a full night uniterrupted sleep through...what are they again??!!
Love Soph n Duke
