Pumpkin!

Here's the moment you've all been waiting for!
Jack has "real" food.
This is just pumpkin & a little cereal.
Poor kid had to do it in front of an audience - I should have charged admission!

Well this would have a video of Jack eating - BUT I don't know how to make it shorter to fit the maximum size I'm allowed to put on Blogger - so if you want to see it - send me your email & I'll pass it on! Or I'm sure Uncle Muncle can learn me when he gets here.

Here's a still photo to whet your appetite!


I've also got a new bath seat!



And I also ate a rusk - well I made it a bit soggy.

Again

Moving again - Jack will have had 4 changes of address in his first 6 months of life! Lucky he's so easy going.

He is almost sitting by himself - we just need a little more practice.

He loves being tickled & will laugh & chuckle & squeal very loudly.

He kicks like a maniac in the bath, & cries his head off when you want to dry & dress him.

He loves being pushed around in his walker by Miss Abbey - who comes to Grandma's - but walks in the front door & straight out the back door & through the gate to see "Baby Jack". She is so funny with him. She wants to carry him around, cuddle him & dress him & she gets quite upset when Jack has to go out while she is visiting.

We read the same books every morning & now if I say to him "Where is the Green Sheep?" he smiles in recognition.

Jack loves his play mat & I try to switch the toys around regularly so he has something new to look at.

He always has the biggest smile for anyone who talks to him - I think he makes people feel good by doing that.

He is excellent at pooping now & managed to cover himself a lot & Poppy a little with some poop earlier today. About time someone else copped it - although he did get Darren up his arm while he was doing a nappy change one day - shame I missed it.

We have enjoyed living at the Ellender's place (except for the mouse) & will miss the space (& Foxtel!) but I am looking forward to sleeping better back in my old room, & having some extra adults around so that I can shower or whatever without worrying about Jack.

I don't want to wish time away - but I can't wait till everyone is together for Xmas & love the idea of getting away together - someone better find those biscuits (mum).
