My family

Tom just loves his big sister, he watches her every move and when his dad came over to visit, he was doubly delighted at the antics and games unfolding before his very eyes. He is used to hearing his grandad's voice around the house but whenever he heard his this new - but familiar - male voice (dad's), he would swivel his head and start looking for him.

While we were away on holiday, he just loved lying in between us on the bed and bashing his dad on the shoulder to wake him up. Never fear though he is still his mummy's boy at heart.

Crawling

In my last post I said Tom was a few weeks away from crawling, but I was a bit out. He actually did his first moves today. Just in time for our holiday on a ship....great?!

First tooth

Today I felt Tom's first tooth peeping through. Now we can officially blame his teething for all his grouchyness. Tom weighed in at 9.6Kgs this week and was given his first toothbrush at the clinic. His length and head size were all on the median strip which is great. He is also drinking from a sipper cup and rocking on all fours. I recon a couple more weeks before he is crawling.

Pictures show Tom doing his 'hair trick' again with a piece of wrapping paper, a shot of him in the garden - amazingly with his hat still on. And also one of him at the library last week. He is usually sleeping when I take Ela but this day he was up so he came along. He loved watching all the kids running around and during music time, he was very possessive of this drum. When another boy (aged 18mths) came and swipped it from him, Tom, quick as a dart, grabbed it back and won over the tug of war that ensued! His dad was proud to hear that he's certainly no pushover.
