Will chasing Lucy

Since the last post where we had only a brief glimpse of forward motion, Will has certainly made a lot of progress! He is very quick off the mark, frequently either getting to the entertainment unit (providing lots of entertainment by switching the system from TV to radio, or even the whole thing off), or going after Lucy when she is curled up enjoying the heater.  Will has managed to reach Lucy once – this resulted in her quickly heading towards our bedroom (and safety).  Needless to say she is now keeping a close eye on Will.

Will’s bug is now well and truly a thing of the past – the antibiotics worked a treat.  He has now gone back to hanging out with all his friends at mother’s group and Gymbaroo, both of which he seems to love more each week.

Last weekend Will met Jacqui and her two kids Tayla and Josh.  He loved sitting and playing with other kids, just as much as Tayla and Josh loved investigating all of Will’s toys!  This week he came into Mummy’s work – what was supposed to be a quick lunch with Linda, one of Mummy’s friends, turned into a few hours in the office.  Thankfully he is still too young to realise what a kid’s mecca his Mum works at! And in the meantime everyone loved how happy he seemed to just sit back and let everyone chat to him!

Will is exploring more and more foods – even trying his first taste of bolognese last weekend.  Will has however become very adamant when he doesn’t want any more food.  Where previously he just shut his mouth, he now pushes the hand of whoever is feeding him away, plus to emphasise the point he blows lots of raspberries – ensuring it is impossible to get food anywhere near his mouth, without that same food covering whoever is feeding him!

More pics will be posted soon – Mummy just needs to download them off the camera! Till next time, a big hug and kiss to all from Will xx

Forward motion???

Well it has been a little while since the last post – apologies to those who have been dutifully checking and waiting for the lastest update on Will.  Since the last post Will has been battling various bugs. First off he had a bad case of the sniffles – nothing too serious but it did linger for a while.  Unfortunately though, this then developed into a bad cough ad very rattly breathing.  The doctor first of all diagnosed it as bronchiolitis (infant bronchitis, however it then developed into an ear and chest infection.  The great news is Will is now onto some antibiotics to help him get better – and generally remained a happy bub despite it all!

So what has Will been up to? A few weeks ago he and Mum went to have lunch with Aunty Karen….gave Karen a chance to have Will all to herself (and Will to get lots of cuddles).  He then came along on the school run, surprising his cousins and giving Nikki a chance to play with him and try and teach him to crawl!

Those lessons must have paid off, as on the weekend Will did manage forward motion! He isn’t travelling great distances, and his method is a cross between commando crawling and dragging his knees (when up on all fours).  Lucy is now keeping a vigilant watch on Will as his main aim is to get to her (who cares about getting to mum and dad when there is a cat in the room?).  So far he has only really been as successful as getting to Lucy’s snooza rug…and clearly Lucy has well and truly got out of the way by then.

Other than that not a lot has been happening – due to Will’s bugs he has been at home and hasn’t got out and about.  Hopefully that will all change soon and we will have more to report!
