October 20


Bo, the dog. Guess what "Bo" is short for?

October 17

Happy 5 month birthday, bub!!

Today we started some farex again, and he seemed to like it. He had about 3 teaspoons, opened his mouth wide for the spoon, and wrestled with me to get the spoon for himself. I had to give him one and get another one for me. He he. Then I “gave” him his Tupperware cup, which I bought at Heather's ages ago, and he's been chomping on it since. I put some milk in it, but that was a bit of a mess, so for now it is empty.

He's been waking up about 7am lately, but he just talks to himself in bed, usually for a good half hour.

Today I took Byron outside. He sat in the pram with his hat and suncream on and looked at the cows through the fence across the road. Then we went to my garden to do a bit of weeding, but he soon got hungry. I gave him a bottle and he fell asleep for a few hours.

Adding pictures won't work today for some reason. I'll try again soon.

October 14

He had his 3 needles for his 4-month immunisations. He didn't even cry for the first two; in fact, he smiled at the nurse. Of course, that 3rd one really stings, so...
These are all September pics (because I'm a bit slack). October ones to come later...
Sept 22. I Love Farex.







Can sit up for a bit to do something important, like watching Play School or finding a hat. He tends to lean forward until he's touching his toes, and then he somehow ends up on his stomach again.






He can easily sleep sideways on the recliner, even using a pillow as a matress.




How cheeky is he?




Loves his playmat. He seems to think that "rolling" is overated, but he can easily turn 90 degrees to reach something he wants.




Cute little twisty toes



He has discovered his toes, and can spend hours playing with them.

September 17

Byron is 4 months old today, and we went back to the health care nurse to get him weighed. He is now up to 6.69 kilos, which is a little higher again on the charts (about the 40th percentile). He didn't get any needles today (like he did for his 2 month birthday)... that's coming up in a few weeks Ü . His treat for the day was getting to meet Priscilla. He was a big show off for her, and rolled onto his back about 5 times in a row Ü



Preparing for a strenuous pram walk around the lake
by getting some quick zz's in his comfy car seat

Sitting (one of his favorite things to do) in a big, comfy armchair with the new teddy bear he got from (great) Gran.

I was trying to get a photo of the tshirt and brown denim jeans I bought, but all he wanted to do was pull silly faces! he he.

This is the sad face that makes his Mummy and Daddy laugh, even though they shouldn't.

I turned on the light to give him his midnight bottle. He usually sleeps through it all, but this time he objected to the light, turned his face into his sleeping bag hood, and went back to sleep!

What he was wearing today. Mummy had to get a photo, because she made the jumper.

September 11

Byron woke up Sunday making a new sound: "zzzZZZZzzzz". He he he. It was only a day or two later that I realized he was just trying to blow a raspberry back at me, because now it's more half zzz, half raspberry. He can say "goo" and "hah" but "mummy" is a long way off yet, I think.

He's also putting everything in his mouth!! We think he might be getting some teeth soon, but there are no emerging sharp bits yet.


New little overalls because the others are getting too small.
But these ones are still a bit big...

On Father's Day we drove to the gardens and wandered around, (which is what Daddy wanted to do). Byron also helped to make a card by scribbling on the front (while trying to eat the pen) and getting his handprint stamped. Then he had a blue hand for the rest of the day!

He found the gardens fascinating, and wanted to sit up in the pram to see all the trees.


Much as he likes to sit up, he can't hold himself up, so it's a bit safer to strap him in. He thought it was funny being strapped in with Bluey.

Byron got his second package in the mail, and it was from Auntie Kelly again. In it was this very cute, soft woolly jumper, which fits perfectly.

(Mum's note: typed by Byron with his right hand - 4 or 5 characters at a time. He even managed to get the date and time up a few times, which I didn't know you could do... I just added the "enter"s.)

August 30

Propped up on the bench in our back yard




Showing that he knows (now) how to chew his thumb without poking himself in the eye.





Playing on his Winnie the Pooh mat.

Little boy in a big cot. He doesn't like it much, but he's having occasional daytime sleeps in it, when he's too tired to realize where he is. Hard to imagine him growing out of this one day!
