Busy Busy Boy!

Its been a busy couple of weeks for Will! Solids are coming along really well, with him liking most foods (though mashed brocoli wasn’t a big favorite!).  He is starting to get a big appetite now and often wants more food than he is given!

Will went to a trial Gymbaroo class last Thursday – some interesting elements (such as written word recognition – bizarre for 5-8 month olds, especially when the word is a long one like “dinosaur”!).  Will did grizzle through most of the class but we are going to give it a shot for a term, mainly so we learn some new games and activities, plus give him a chance to play on some equipment we will never have at home! Fingers crossed that he does like it!

Will is starting to move about a bit now, he has managed to moved backwards on his tummy, and is starting to roll from his back to tummy to get to toys.  The best one we have seen so far is Will rolling from his tummy to back and then gradually wriggling around so he could get close to Lucy! Lucy was happily curled up in front of the heater and so didn’t mind Will reaching over and touching her (I guess as long as he didn’t grab a fist full of fur or tail she accepts it!). He did manage to roll over and get both of his hands on her, however by the time the camera came out, he’d rolled onto his back and only had one hand on her! It has however made us realise that we do need to look at a guard for the heater pretty quickly (and in the menatime make sure we either keep a very close eye on Will and his travels or turn the heater off!).

Will got to meet Livia (grandma and Aunty Cheryl’s “triplet”) for the first time on the weekend – I think Livia was rather surprised at how happy Will was, and how we was happy to be held by a relative stanger the minute he met her!
