Hey guys, just popping in to say a belated WOOHOO that Tallon is crawling! Saturday afternoon he did his first crawl, to of all things, DH's laptop which was on the floor plugged into the telly. We just laughed and said we should have known that would be the incentive! But his crawl was so funny, hitching his legs up, making a step, then hitching his legs up agin... little bottom going up and down and side to side. His hands were totally normal doing the crawling things, but his legs were so funny.

Anyway, he's now off like a little pro. Crawls everywhere, and get into everything! As a result, we have a few bumps on the head too He pulled the barstool down onto him yesterday, so has a bump from that, he crawled headfirst into the table that the fish are on (LOL) altho, dont' think that made a bump.

He's also cruising the furniture now!! He crawls up to the lounge, and very proficiently climbs up, and proceeds to make his way across the lounge! Everything is happening so fast! Where's the little baby that would sit quietly on my lap? LOL. GONE!! Now I have a wriggly little toddler that's never satisfied - just wants to constantly explore!

It's even changed how we play now. He crawls around trying to find me, if I'm in the kitchen or something, and he crawls to us when we call him and stuff. It's like we've suddenly hit a new stage of his life, and that he's suddenly grown up.

Jen - I gave him toast the other day .. and watched him like a hawk! LOL. He did ok with it, altho yesterday I found a piece in his mouth he'd be sucking on for a while...I was trying to work out why he was coughing now and then, and then I discovered this square piece of soggy toast in his mouth, when I thought he'd finished! He also had a piece of rockmelon the other day, so I'm getting there with giving him finger foods

Oh - and swimming on Friday - poor little man swallowed so much water, that after his sleep when we got home, he threw up EVERYWHERE. And he was a bit miserable the rest of the day. Mum said she's not surprised, considering what would be in that pool. She saw a lady getting her baby changed ready for swimming, and she said she didn't wipe his bottom properly :eek: yuck!! No wonder his little tummy was like - no thank you! blerk!

Well, must go, since I'm up so early, I should make the most of it. Cya!
