I was born last year
Josh: So I can now say I was born last year! Happy happy Christmas and New Year to you all. Well it has been a while since I last wrote, but I have been so busy spending time with Grandma, Grandpa and Auntie Ruth in Cornwall, and then with Granzy in Bathgate.... What fun we have had. Daddy and mommy really appreciated having their family around to help play with me, and they even got to hang out together, including a Michelin-starred dinner - Christmas treat from daddy! - and snowboarding! I got sooo many lovely gifts too. Thank you to all my very generous family and friends!
So there is quite a lot to tell you about the things I have learnt and been doing over the last month or so. Here are some of them...
- Right now I am busy babbling away in my cot. I talk Joshy-language. It is quite advanced and consists of many differents expressions and noises. I don't really like sleeping during the day. There is just so much going on! I don't want to miss anything! But if I don't sleep I get a little grumpy at night time, so mommy puts me in my cot and I lie there talking to myself and watching my mobile. I usually do go to sleep eventually, even if it sounds like I don't want to. Talking about not wanting to miss anything, I've been promoted to big-boy position in the pushchair - sitting up more and facing forwards so I can see what's going on. I also like to face outwards in the sling now, mostly so I can see what mommy is cooking for dinner. Very important stuff.
- I get to have baths every night now. Bath times really are fun. Usually I have had a yummy milk bottle, then I bounce around in my bouncer for a while, which warms me up for kicking and splashing in the bath! Kick kick kick. I like kicking. They also make me feel nice and relaxed for sleep time. I also like having my nappy changed. It's a sure way to get me giggling! Good thing that happens a lot. I am working on my backstroke in the bath. Since I like the water so much now, mommy is going to take me to swimming lessons soon. We can go to some at our local swimming pool.
- I can now push up for a while on my tummy. It's kind of frustrating though. My legs wave around behind me. I have figured out how to roll over onto my back, so if I have had enough of being on my tummy, that is handy! I'm hoping to get a Bumbo which will help me sit up, and also will help when I start my first solids - baby rice and a special veg mix... next week?? I can't sit on my own yet, but can with the help of some pillows.
- I have discovered my hands! Yum yum. They always taste so nice and I have them in my mouth most of the time. I am also starting to like the taste of other things, like blankie, Tigger and my cloth books. They feel nice too. I like to pull Tigger's tail and give him hugs and eat his nose.
- I learnt how to blow raspberries! Not sure who taught me that hmmm...? Blowing bubbles, making funny noises and everything wet! Well it was so much fun I decided to do it continuously for about 3 days. I haven't done it in a while though. Since discovering my hands which are keeping me well entertained these days.
Well I am off to play. Will leave you with a shot of me in my bear suit, demonstrating my "concerned" look. Big hugs.
