Mum and Dad

Hi All,

How are you?

I'm pretty good today. Not grumpy or anything. Sometimes I'm a bit grumpy. Cousin Fiona visited me yesterday. She's funny.

I thought you might like to see some pictures of my mum and dad. Here they are:

First Words

Hello All,

My mum and dad have been trying to get me to say words. Mum tries to get me to say mum but I say "dad". I don't say dad to dad though. Anyway, Dad has been trying to teach me my first proper sentence and I've pretty much got the hang of it. Do you want to know what it is? It's "Hello Dude." If you say "Hello Dude" to me I might just say it back to you. I think I've got it right but everytime I say it mum and dad have fits of laughter so I might be doing it wrong.

That's all for now,

Avocado

Hi All,

I heard on the TV that avocado is good for your hair and skin. Mum was feeding me some for my dinner so I thought I might give it a go. I did it pretty discretely so I don't think mum noticed.
I didn't really notice any difference the next day so maybe it takes a couple of days to work. We'll see...

Bye for now,

Busy Boy

Hi All,

I've been a busy boy lately with lots of visitors.

I got to see my Aunty Leanne and Uncle Tim. After I went to bed I even heard my Uncle Dallas but everyone was busy talking so I didn't think I should try and say hello.

Then the next day I got to see my Grammy and Papa. I must have been a really good boy because they gave me presents!


My Tonka Truck is awesome. It's almost as big as me and sometimes it runs away from me but I'm getting really good at catching it.



The next day I saw Aunty Tanya and Uncle Cliff. Grammy and Papa must have told them what a good boy I am because they gave me a present too!!!!



I feel like a very lucky boy.
Anyway, bye for now,
Roman

Not Happy

Hi All,

I've been a bit moody lately and it's because my bottom is on fire. I feel we know each other well enough that I can share that piece of information with you. My poor little bottom is red raw with nappy rash and it HURTS. When mum or dad change my nappy I have to scream at them in case they haven't worked out that it HURTS. I don't like my bath at the moment because it makes my bottom HURT. I even don't like when they put the barrier cream on my bottom because it HURTS. Sometimes I can forget about it for a little while but then I remember again that it HURTS. I hope your bottom doesn't hurt. Anyway here's a picture of me.

Swimming

Hi All,

Mum took me swimming today. It was on her to do list and even though it was getting late in the afternoon she said "let's go!". I'm glad we did because it was lots of fun. I'm very good at swimming. I go in the baby section so I can crawl around. I keep crawling and crawling until the water gets right up to my mouth. Then mum floats me back to the shallow section. Today a little boy threw a ball to his mum except he didn't throw very well so it hit me in the back of the head. I didn't cry or anytihng (I didn't want him to feel bad). I did steal his ball later but I decided to give it back.

That's all for now,

Bairnsdale

Hi All,

I've been in Bairnsdale the last couple of days staying with my Grandma and Grandad and their cats. I got to pat the cats and they didn't even mind. Not even when I squeezed their tail. They are very understanding cats.

My Uncle Tim and Aunty Leanne are going to get married. I think this is very good. I like Tim a lot. When he picks me up I get to see the world from up near the clouds. The world looks very different up there.

Here's a picture of me for you. Mummy shared her lamb bones with me. I liked them an awful lot!

Frustrating

Hi All,
Sometimes being a baby is very frustrating. Sometimes you see something you want but you can't work out how to get it.




I know those orange balls are super juicy but I can't quite work out how to open them...
I have been very tired today. I fell asleep in my high chair at creche. And then tonight when mum was giving me my milk I fell asleep on her lap and stayed asleep until she carried me to my bed. Very strange...
Til tomorrow,
Roman

The new freeway

Hi All,

Right near our house is a brand spanking new freeway. On Saturday mum and dad decided that we would drive down that freeway just for fun (I'm not sure what's fun about driving down a road but they wouldn't let me stay home by myself so I had to go). When we got to the end of the road we were in Frankston and dad said that given we'd come so far we might as well keep going so we ended up at the beach.

The beach was lots of fun. I wasn't allowed to go in the water because it was freezing and the waves were huge but I was allowed to play in the sand which was lots of fun. I didn't even try to eat any (but I did try the seaweed which was quite tasty).

I'm having very bad sleeps at night at the moment. The last 2 nights I've woken up about 10 times each night. Most of the time I put myself back to sleep but sometimes I need a pat from mum or dad. Mum thinks I might have an ear infection so she's going to take me to the doctor.

That's all for now,

Clothes

Hi All,
You may remember that a while ago mum bought me lots of books from ebay. Well she's been at it again but this time with my Size 1 clothes. She bought three lots of things from ebay for a total of $42. Here's a picture of what she got:


That's $2 an item. She's very proud of herself. If she went to Pumpkin Patch she would have been able to get 2 tops for $42 (and half the stuff she got was Pumpkin Patch!). So it looks like my clothes are sorted for a while...


Here's a better picture of me and my teeth:

Painting

Hi All,

Today I got to do painting with Mum and Phoebe.

It was pretty messy... but fun



I got paint on my fingers and hand and toes and the high chair and my mouth and my tongue (it did not taste good). Mum almost had a heart attack because although the purple paint come straight off the high chair the yellow paint did not... She tried soapy water like the bottle said but it didn't work. She tried kitchen spray - nope. She got the metho out - nope. By this stage she was looking a little pale and worried. But the good old orange citrus spray worked a treat and now my high chair is nice and clean again. I've very glad that the bath washed the paint off me otherwise I don't know what might of happened.


Also if you haven't seen my teeth yet here they are:

Two Weeks

Hi All,

I know, it's been 2 weeks since I last blogged. Naughty, very naughty... Mum has been hogging the computer for work and she doesn't always share nicely.

Here's a quick update...
I've now got 2 bottom teeth. They are pretty crooked so I hope that sorts itself out quickly or I might be the youngest person ever with braces.

Sometimes I can stand by myself. To be honest mostly it's by accident and when I realise I fall on my bottom but still...

I think I've forgotten some of the words that I learnt because I've gone back to just saying dadaddadadaada (and sometimes "faf").

I'm very good at playing the maracas. Mum and I play this game - When I pick up the maracas mum says "Shake Shake Shake" and I shake. It's not a great game but mum likes it so I play along.

I'll get mum to take a photo of me tomorrow but for now here's one of me climbing on the bottom of my change table after putting everything that was on the shelf on the ground...


That's all for now,
Roman
