Mummy showing me my new room...
I can sit up all by myself now that I'm a big boy...
Mummy teaching me how to play with my new toys...
Practising my new shuffling technique...
Off on my adventures...
Look, I really do have hair!...
Skal...Hello everyone! I have had another exciting week - not least of all that on Thursday I turned six months... or half a year!!! But I get ahead of myelf... Last Mummy and I went to see Aunty Tash, Georgia and Mackenzie to drink milk/ coffee (i'm sure you can figure out who drank what) and eat chocolate biscuits (i get them second hand) whilst we sent Daddy off with Uncle Rob to Metro - an expat supermarket here in Hanoi. With two Kiwi-men in the family, the purpose of daddy's trip was simple...MEAT!!! As daddys trip was successful, I tried meat (beef) for the first time on Monday - very nice! Since then I have also tried chicken which was also good.
I have learned a new trick this week - mummy puts me down on my back on the playmat, and a little while when she comes to check I am OK, I am on my tummy, over a metre away from the playmat. I let mummy and daddy puzzle over this for a while and then I showed them that I have found reverse gear!!! Turning onto my tummy is now easy, but I have now worked out that if I push with my hands when I'm on my tummy, I go backwards!!! Its very exciting, though the wood floor is a bit hard when I put my head down to have rest - as I don't yet know how to get back to the playmat, I call for help at this point and either mummy or daddy lifts me back - aren't parents good!
On saturday morning another BIG event in my life occurred when I moved out of Mummy and Daddy's room into my very own one. Apparently some babies find this quite traumatic, but I'm a big boy so I've coped really well. Mummy seemed less sure it was a good idea so I suggested that we put my baby monitor on so I can reassure her if she gets scared... ...though she still has daddy to look after her.
Today I was measured - I can now anounce that according to mummy and daddy's scales (not always so accurate but we got the same reading three times) I now weigh 7kg and I am 68.5cm tall. Yet again we've had to break out a larger size in clothes!
Must go as my bath is ready. Love Oliver
