Why is it blogs are the one thing you want to keep updated but the first thing to be forgotten?

Anyway I have been super busy with a website at the moment and in due course I will attempt to explain the absolute arse-ache of how I have built the navigation using multiple CSS rollovers with PHP current page status.

Confused? Yeah, I have been too.

Wow! Has it really been six months since we first put our eyes on you? Six months of so much change and so much joy it’s been hard taking it all in. The past few months have especially rewarding as your character has begun to glow through and typically, as with most boys, you seem to be getting a penchant for toilet humour. Or you’re at least laughing and giggling at my jokes!

Recent weeks have been spent mostly grabbing at everything. Toys, me, mummy, Piper’s tail, Hudson’s tongue and seeing if they all can be physically shoved into your mouth, nothing seems to be away from your attention, especially if you can reach it. And so this grabbing has produced a grand discovery. You’ve found your feet! Strange shaped things I know, especially when considering you share the genetic mix of your mother and I.

The past couple of weeks have seen you start to eat ‘proper’ food rather than just the white stuff and boy do you like it. Much like a young chick in its nest, the moment that any sort of food comes near the general direction of your mouth then, wham! Your mouth falls open willing and almost drawing the food in especially if porridge is on the menu. I’m not even gonna start on rusks!

However it’s not all good news. Your change in diet has also brought about a change in something else and boy are we talking bad!

In years to come when mummy says, “your dad was a wimp, he would avoid changing you and gag at the site of your nappies”, I would proudly raise my arm and reply, “hell yeah, you just wait kiddo! No amount of military training will ever prepare you for that!” Gone are the days of “oh he’s done a little poo”, it’s now, “Rach! He’s exploded again!” And a look will come across your face of “Stop your whining and fix me up sharp!”

Probably one of the greatest things to happen these past months is the fact that you sleep through the night, perhaps making the odd grumble now and then, but on the whole it’s peace and quite for me and mummy till at least 7.00 in the morning, pure bliss until you decide you actually want something to eat.

Today not only was it special due to its date but also because it was the first day you properly rolled onto your belly and back again. I can’t see it being too much longer till you’re on the move. As it is you can’t sit down without trying to stand up and it takes about the strength of six weightlifters to get you back down again!

I think it might be time to start arranging things on higher shelves.

Today would have been even extra special if I could have been with you to enjoy it with you and mummy. As it is, you and mummy have gone to grandmas for a few days where I’m sure you will be utterly spoilt so I guess I’m gonna have to wait a little while longer to witness “The Incredible Rolling Baby”.
