Theo's half-year milestone has crept up on me and I nearly let it slip by without a few photos. If truth be told this last bit of Jim's deployment is really dragging, and as I've had problems with my sewing machine, I've had less to do and therefore am getting less (of everything) done! That old thing about giving a job to a busy person is so true!
But anyway, a quick progress report on the boy!
Six months old and although he's performing marvelous floor gymnastics, rolling his way this way and that (and frequently waking me in the night when he traps himself in an awkward position) he is still no closer to sitting up. I momentarily thought it might be a conspiracy designed to get me to buy a Bumbo but realised that of course, it's not that at all, he's just saving all the big developments for when his daddy comes home!
He's making good progress with weaning and although he has things he definitely likes more than others, he has yet to refuse anything he's been offered - he just likes food generally! He's inability to sit up is buying me a bit of time with painting his high chair too. This is one of those classic projects-you-wish-you-hadn't-started things. I've been doing it on and off since Christmas and have largely lost my momentum now because Jim made a rash promise to me about finishing it when he came home... as if there won't be enough other things to do! So wipe-clean PVC beanbag it is at the moment!
Anyway, that is all for now, I have deliberately not mentioned Jim's return date, because with all things military we have to be a bit vague with details, but it is this month, and once he's back, we have two holidays to look forward to in Scotland and Canada, but more on those nearer the time.
Here's to a safe return. And I hope he comes back on the date you're given and not the usual 'sometime around then' date ;-)
ReplyDeleteTheo's such a cutie-pie! Here's to Jim's safe return xx
ReplyDeleteCute kiddo! Hope Jim has a safe return and that the two boys get lots of bonding time asap!
ReplyDeleteAdorable - I wouldn't worry about not sitting up - I am sure everyone has told you babies do things in their own time - he knows you still have to finish that high chair.
ReplyDeleteThings will be so busy when Jim returns, enjoy the quiet time - if you can.
He's definitely saving up some dramatic developments for when his father's back! Lots of fun to look forward to. x
ReplyDeleteHes growing up so quickly and looking more and more like his Daddy. Hope hes home soon and you can all get on with being a proper family xx
ReplyDeletehe is a beautiful boy
