Jess - I've now started to try to teach Cam yes and nodding my head. For getting up we usually say up up and he puts his arms up and seems to do the mouth movement (but not really any sound) for up. He is already learnt no...from every time I've said it to him when he touches things he shouldn't. He also shakes his head alot and I tend to mimic him and say no when he does it - something I've probably got to stop...as I wouldn't want to encourage NO...i can just imagine him backchatting me with NO (I realise he will backchat at some point anyway, just don't want to encourage it too early, ).
Very cute Tiahna looking for Jordan and getting excited when DH and Jordan got home. Cam has the same reaction when DH gets home and when Mum visits on Wednesdays. Guess he must get bored looking at my face all the time
Abb - yay on the swimming. I've been thinking of taking Cam again. We haven't been since November. It got a little busy over xmas and to be honest it got a little boring, especially for the cost. They did the same thing everyweek, and that didn't include putting his head under (well they did once, but for the next 4 weeks after they didn't). As we have a pool we just continued to teach the same things we'd learnt. I've taken him in a fair bit and I know it usually exhausts him...its great. But now I think it might be time to go back to see if there is anything new we can learn.
Yesterday we went to the playcentre...it's call Smileez - its an indoor play centre and cafe (there is a website if you want to see what I mean). Its just got lots of climbing things, toys and ball pit. Cameron had a blast. We met some of the mothers group ladies and bubs there and he had fun interacting with them and learning to share. He also loved the ball pit (i've posted a pic in the gallery) - at first he was a bit unsure how to move, but he got the idea. We will be going again in a fortnight. It's great at the moment as it's free til they turn 1. He was sooo exhausted after though, fell asleep on the way home, then again after I fed him at home. Then I woke him at 4.30 to go for a walk and when we got home he was playing on the ground, but every now and then he would lay his head down, look at me and sigh...like geez mum i'm so tired. He went down to sleep very easily last night too.
We're off to visit a friends new bub today...he born last sunday. It was the bub I think I'd mentioned a few months ago saying it was meant to be bigger then their 1st. It was only bigger by a few ounces though...it was 9pound5.5ounces. It will be strange holding a newborn again, but at least I'll feel more comfortable holding one. This will be the 1st newborn I've held since having Cameron (and I hadn't really held that many bubs before Cameron) - I won't look as awkward.
