wow!!
So much has been happening!! There's too much to do personals, maybe if I was in here more often. Jensen has been reeeaally clingy over the last 2weeks or so, but still no teeth. Possibly a growth spurt? He seems so much smaller than other babies his age (at mothers group, the only one a bit smaller was a twin, and she's a day older than him). I think last week, I weight him with clothes on and he was only just 7kg, and his 000's don't fit anymore, but the 00's don't fit either coz they're too big. Today is Jensen's 6mth birthday! OMG where did the time go? We have a health nurse appt this afternoon, where we'll get his official stats. Tomorrow is needles. Daddy wishes to experience that. Haha, is he in for a shock!
Still, no crawling, but up on hands and knees and rocking back and forward. He does lift a knee off the ground and swing it to where it needs to be to start crawling, puts it down and picks it back up again and puts it back where he was. He is so frustrated that he knows what he's gotta do to move, but can't. Cries heaps. Most times its just head down on the floor, thumb in his mouth, making noises, while edging his knees forward!

The other day I left him with Andrew (in bed with a hangover), went to the kitchen and heard a thump. Andrew had gone back to sleep and lapsed in his parental duties and Jensen fell. By the sound of the thump, he landed body first then head. He cried and Andrew felt bad (and he was now fully awake!) They got over it.

What is it with ppl and them trying to feed my kid food? My mother's been trying for ages and I said, when he's six months. Well, you watch, now that 6mths has arrived it'll be a free-for-all. I personally don't think he's ready, as he's never hungry after a feed and happy and healthy. But I went into the kitchen and MIL was siving pear and feeding it to him. WTF? I had just had that conversation with her not 2 days ago. So when Andrew dropped him off to her this morning, I made him tell her NO FOOD. Even contemplated putting NIL FOOD sticker on his shirt. When * I * decide that he could do with some food(which could be next week, or next mth), * I * will start him on it and * I * will feed it to him. As his mother, I'd thought that was my perogative. Who knows whats going to happen on Wednesday when my mother looks after him. Sorry about that rant.

My birthday was good. I'm now the big 2-5. Went to lunch with my dad and grandma, went shopping with my sister and her son and my mother, then had dinner - just Andrew and I, at a nice Tex-Mex restaurant. When it says that the Habenero sauce is not for the faint-hearted... believe it!

Lastly, I'm in the process of organising Jensen's baptism. Andrew doesn't really want to do it, but hey, he got to choose that Jensen was circumcised, so I get to choose this. After all, he can denounce religion, can't give him his foreskin back.

Better go before the boss gets back and sees I'm not working, like he's already sprung me today... hehe.

Have a good one,
Rhianon and Jensen
