On the move!

Well in the space of a couple of weeks Will has become the master of rolling around the floor, and shuffling backwards.  This is somewhat frustrating for him for two reasons:

1) When he wants something that is in front of him, it gets further and further away as he has not yet mastered moving forwards

2) The combination of rolling and backwards movement often sees him heading towards places that are not suitable for 6 month olds, such under the clothes airer or towards pieces of stereo gear and cables.  When he encounters such locations, either Mum or Dad retrieve him, only for him to get grumpy because they have moved him away from where he had worked so hard to get to!

That all being said he is getting better at holding himself up on his hands and knees and is starting to rock backwards and forwards…so from here we are thinking he will soon be sitting on his own! In the meantime he is showing that we are all born with the ability to do full push ups, as he can even get onto his hands and toes (making Mummy very jealous at how easy he does it!)

He is loving his food, and now has a fondness for lamb or chicken bones.  He had a quick check of his growth progress…he is now 75cm long and 8.8kg!

This weekend he went to visit Grandma, as soon she wll be off on a wonderful trip to the UK and Europe.  While there Will showed just how much he loved her furniture, trying to take a bite out of an armchair!

This week Will is going to his first Gymbaroo class – as noted in an earlier post we are hoping he doesn’t grizzle the whole way through!
