billy is 9 months
 | Cool Slideshows |
the beautiful boy is 9 months old. He has his plunket visit on thurs so will have some stats than. He is very nearly mobile going from sitting to lying and when I left him on his tummy the other day I heard him squawking and he had got himself backwards across the floor and lodged under the couch. He says alot of ella, dada and puss when our cat walks by but is still a little lacking on the mummy/mama front...he can say it but doesn't very often. Ang thinks a certain whingy noise he makes when he wants me is his preferred version of mummy. Having mastered clapping and waving he now does 'hands up' thanks to us all singing him that bad 80's song hands up, baby , hands up. He also does what we call his superhero arm where he gets excited to see people and puts his arm straight out aka superman and makes a sssss sound...we think he can be superbaby for halloween. He also plays peekaboo with his towel or muslin putting it over his face, waiting for you to say 'wheres billy' than pulling it down again. He is loving swimming lessons and just this month has decided food is a good thing after all.

The last month...
I have been a bit remiss in updating the blog the last month. Our laptop had to go for a visit to the place laptops go when they think it is a good idea to spontaneously turn off every five minutes and life just seems to have gotten busier.
Billy will be 9 months on thursday so will do his own update then but he continues to be a delight who is trying really hard to get mobile. Miss Isabella is in the final week of term and has just completed her science fair project. She is working hard at trying to grow taller than me.
Which brings us to miss Harriet who has a bad case of 4.5yr olditis which is presenting with a combination of dissolving into tears at every little thing including going to school which she has been doing quite happily for the last 2.5yrs, and having a sassy, answer back reply for everything we say to her...can you say EXHAUSTING in the parenting department. The girl is operating on quite a few sticker charts at the moment. But between these episodes of less than stellar behaviour she is busy, busy, busy with dance. Her Bollywood show is in 3 weeks and we have twice weekly rehersals plus her fairy dance show is in 5 weeks and we are again having to sort out ballet buns and makeup worthy of the best drag queens.
On friday night we got to escape with Hamish and Fern and go see michael Franti and Spearhead http://www.spearheadvibrations.com/index.html, this was the fifth concert I have seen here and the big man was fantastic as always. We had sore feet from 2 hours of solid dancing. We have been listening to Yell Fire, his latest album in the car for the last month and the girls know all the words plus have favourites so I have put together a little montage of pics from the last month along with Harriets favourite song from Spearhead.
