The eyes have it
We’re still not sure what colour my eyes are going to be?
Some more piccies
Giggles with Mum
After a long day apart, nothing beats some quality time playing with Mum.
Special moments
Occasionally Dad goes on about special moments he’s had with us:
- Mum 8.5 months pregnant and madly painting walls at 10pm during the crazy “let’s paint the nursery” renovation that included changing just about everything in the house. (Disclaimer: Dad was the crazy one with scope creep, not Mum).
- Seeing me open my eyes for the first time, about 10mins after I was born.
- Family swimming at Milson’s Point.
- Exploring the house together on hands and knees.
My personal recollections of these events can be summarised as sloshy, bright, splashy & freedom.
Mum left me!
Fuzz-ball or Fuzz-Eli-Bear?
mmmm….me like BBQ chook!
Yes the foot does help…..
One small crawl for Eli, one giant leap for household safety
On Monday night, I learned some things…
The lounge room is connected to the hallway. The hallway is connected to the dining room. The dining room is connected to the office. The office is next to the bedroom. And, I can follow Mum into the kitchen!
While dancing, reversing and short sprints have been my focus until now; tonight Dad and I went on a crawling exploration of the whole house.
I admit that I hesitated for a moment before leaving the lounge room for the first time, but man that hallway floor is slippery. I also admit that I have to stop for a breather every few metres, but Dad’s legs are a lot longer than mine. But, I will say this … I’ve crawled everywhere man, I’ve crawled everywhere!
Mum, Dad, you are on notice… I now know the layout of the house. I know that I can follow you places. I can crawl into bins, I can find powerpoints, I can reprogram your home theatre system, I love pulling cables and I will slam my fingers in drawers.
More crawling…
I was such a baby last week, I could only crawl backwards…but now I can go any direction I like 🙂 I can go backwards, forwards, round in circles AND I can pull my self up on things. There is no stopping me now!
