Santa Ordeal

Being Levi`s first Christmas I was keen to get a photo with Santa. He had slept, been feed, dressed in a new outfit, and had a happy disposition. We got to the shop and Santa was just setting up we were second in line.

Santa was a nice fella, chatting and making jokes, the photographer was ready so I put Levi on Santa`s lap. Oh my, the scream, the face went red, not happy at all, he was horrified. Latched onto me and did not want to go anywhere near Santa, the only solution was for me to be in the photo, sitting on the arm of Santa`s chair and Levi on my lap.

Food Strike

I have never had any problems feeding solids to Levi, last week for no apparent reason he decided that he would not eat turning his head away, tightly holding his lips closed and dropping his finger food off the side of the highchair. This did worry me however I did not make a big deal out of it, and after two days he started eating again.

Mazemania

A great outing with Levi, he loves balls, so what could be better than a this?

Totally Amazed!

This morning while eating breakfast at Granny`s house I looked over at the young man and thought....... geese you are pretty high up, got up closer and he was climbing the steeps to the bedrooms, he has mastered his technique today and is zooming up the steeps.

Even Babies Have Bad Days

It is good to know that even babies have bad days, young Levi had a shocker of a day on Monday, woke up way to early, had a couple of falls - bit his lip, went face first into the garden and his left eye filled with dirt Granny and I had to hold him down in an attempt to flush it out, and all this happened before 9am.

Swimming Lesson Photos

Today Uncle kindly came along to swimming lessons and took some great photos. The lessons went well, it is starting to heat up here in Cairns so it is something to really look forward to each week.

The above photo is taken prior to the lesson, gazing in at the pool

On another note, Levi`s 2 front top teeth have finally broken through his gums, so hopefully we are over the pain for a little while. This lot of teeth seemed to take a couple of weeks to come through.

Day Care

I have been fortunate enough to secure 1 day a week in childcare. Today was the first day, I have opted to slowly introduce him with half days. The day care mum (DCM) and I went to school together, and have remained close friends.

I dropped him off this morning and the DCM took him over to the other children and instructed me to go, oh it was heart wrenching, I shed a couple of tears driving away. I picked him up at noon, all went well, he was a bit teary after his morning nap and a bit grizzly on arrival (his two top teeth are just about through the gum) he ate his snack however is refusing to drink the bottle of formula.

Poppy Guru kept me busy so the time flew.

The Climbing Monkey

I wonder the thought process of a baby and their problem solving skills, they seem to cotton onto things quickly. Today out of the blue Levi has decided that he will attempt to climb up lower objects to get to items that are put out of his reach.

Baby Food

I have been preparing my own baby food to feed Levi, he loves his food, can't get enough. I purchased a jar of food that sounded appetising gees was I wrong! I had a taste and oh it was awful, Levi had a taste and refused to eat it, I could hardly blame him, so our dog got a little treat with dinner and Levi got some home cooked food.

Swimming Lesson # 3

Today was Levi's third swimming lesson and the first time to put his head under the water. Finally he crashed out after the lesson, the other mum's have said their babies sleep for over a hour after swimming, I was feeling buggered too.

I am enjoying the swimming lessons, I feel confident with him in the water with me, am learning the nursery rhyme songs, just over all enjoying them.
