Teething

Hi All,

I know I've been very slack lately. Been busy.

Here's a quick run down on what's going on:

My top teeth are trying very hard to pop through my gums. You can see them under my gums- shouldn't be long now at all.

I can walk a couple of steps at a time now. I think it's quite fun actually.

My bottom hurts again. People keep saying it's because I'm teething (but my teeth are trying to come through my gums not my butt).



That's all for now,
Roman

: (

Hi All,

Today, mum and I drove dad to the train station so he could go to work. Then mum and I went to the library except mum got confused and went in the building behind the library. It definitely was not fun like the library because at the library you get to read books and take them away but at this place they stuck needles in me. Definitely not the same thing at all. I will be very wary of us going to the library in the future.

Then we went to my music group and that was fun. I tried to steal another boys food at morning tea time - you snooze, you lose... Then this afternoon I was very grumpy from my injections. Mum even gave me a bath in the middle of the day to make me feel better (and it did until she got me out - that made me cross again).

It's the weekend now so I get to see my dad lots!

That's all for now,

What a week!!

Hi All,

Well, it's been a week since my birthday and a lot has happened... I'll try and start at the beginning.

Mum was thinking that since I did my first roll on my dedication day it only seemed appropriate that I did something big on my birthday too. To keep her happy I took my first step. Now just to be clear, it was a teeny tiny little step. From the couch to mum. But a little step none the less. Since then I have taken a couple more little steps. Sometimes two in a row. Mum and dad try to encourage me to take steps by standing me up and then standing just a little bit outside my reach (don't think I don't know what they're doing...). Most of the time I make them laugh by sitting down and crawling over (hah!!) but sometimes I have a go at walking over.

Mum had wanted me to be completely weaned off the boobie by my first birthday but she missed my a couple of days. Anyway, I now drink all my milk from a cup. I drink it a LOT faster than from mum but I can pretty much hold the cup all by myself (sometimes I need help for the last little bit at the end).

We went to Bairnsdale for the weekend so I could have ANOTHER birthday party with my Grandma and Grandad, and Uncle Justin, Aunty Leonnie, Natalya and Lachlan. I get to sleep in a little room right next to Grandma and Grandad when I go to Bairnsdale. This means that I have to be very good at night time. Both nights I slept until 7am. Then Grandad gets me out of my bed and then I get to have cuddles in bed with Grandma until mum shows up with my cup of milk. Mum is very jealous because both mornings I laid next to Grandma for 20 minutes without squirming or crawling or screaming for my milk. At home I wouldn't do this for 20 seconds...


I had a lovely party and I got MORE presents. I am a very lucky boy who has a LOT of toys!
When we got back to Melbourne dad had to do some manly work in the garden so I got to help (I am 1 after all). It was cold and wet and muddy. Mum doesn't like these things but I LOVE THEM!!! I got all dirty but I had so much fun. Mum chucked me in the bath straight after and all the dirt came straight off.



So that's my big week. I'm sure I'll have another one this week.

Bye for now,
Roman

Funny Games

Hi All,

TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY!!

I have been on this earth for 1 year exactly.

This time a year ago my mummy was hurting a lot.

Anyway, here's a picture of me standing up in my new top from mum and dad (Do you like my top, Grandad??).


I played a funny game on mum the other day. There were some boxes in our kitchen because dad was helping Ryan build a computer. I got mum's keys from her bag and played with them for a while then I put them in one of the boxes. The next day I heard mum say to dad, "I see Ryan came and collected his computer and boxes...". Oh oh... Mum started to wonder where her keys had gone but figured they would turn up somewhere (they couldn't have got far, could they??). Dad got a text message from Ryan saying that he had thrown out the boxes but had gone back to get a manual from one of the boxes, and while he was searching for the manual he heard jingling and found mum's keys!!! Mum's lucky, isn't she?? She would never have known where her keys had gone and I never would have got into trouble because no one knew I did it!! The perfect crime.
That's all for now,
Roman

My 1st Birthday party

Hi All,

Yesterday I had my 1st Birthday party. (Well I kind of had one the other day when Grammy and Papa were over so that would make this my 2nd 1st birthday party but that would get confusing).



Lots of my friends came over to play with me and eat my food and play with my toys. They even brought MORE toys with them. I think they want me to have them because they forgot to take them home with them.





It was lots of fun. Mum and Dad made a cake for me. I think it was supposed to be a picture of me because mum said it was a monkey cake and dad calls me monkey. I don't think I really look like that but I didn't want to hurt mum's feelings because she worked very hard on it.


I ate a little bit of cake and a LOT of biscuits so I wasn't very hungry by dinner time. I think my belly was going to explode...

But I had a very fun day. And I like my presents A LOT!!!
I have to go play now,
Roman
