I got a picture of what I was describing in my last post:
What surpises me about Thomas “playing” the guitar and piano, is not that he does them, after all, they involve simple mechanical movements of the fingers that any baby would enjoy doing, but that he does them of his own volition. It [...]
Hi everybody,
I’m sorry I haven’t posted for a long time, it’s a good indication of how things are going…
Well, the sleep isn’t going at all well, but I think that is mostly due to weakness on our part – we did the controlled crying for a week, but we weren’t totally strict. I think [...]
We went out and bought a new toy yesterday:
I got it for £12 from my new most favourite shop: Merry-Go-Round on Bowthorpe Road. It deals with second-hand baby stuff, and is brilliant!! There were 3 in the shop when I looked, but this was the only one that could hold a beer [...]
I should know better than to say things like “Thomas’ sleeping is getting better”. Of course it isn’t. We had another rough night last night. But I’ve decided this letting him cry for 5 minutes, then going in, then another 5 minutes or longer is rubbish. After 2 hours, of lying him [...]
So I visited my new health visitors yesterday, at the child health clinic at Adelaide Street Health Centre. They are really nice, and I met Diane, who was really helpful. She said that not having teeth isn’t a problem, as babies have hard gums, so Thomas is perfectly capable of eating toast and [...]
I forgot to mention something of some importance for Thomas the other day. Thomas went to his first baby signing class!
norwich class
It was really good, and I can’t wait to go again. Thomas seemed to really enjoy it, and the best thing was that he got to play with other babies. I [...]
Well, it’s not really an inventory, as we haven’t noted lots of things, like the fact that there are paint splashes EVERYWHERE!! And the front door scrapes the carpet, so it’s impossible to put a doormat there, hence impossible to keep clean. But then again, the rent is cheap, and we can’t really [...]
I just wanted to comment on the smell of our house, which was bothering us when we first moved in – being kinda musty, because it had been empty for a while. Well it does seem to be disappearing, but I fear that it is actually eminating from the carpets, as this is where [...]
So much to post, but would take to long to catch up, so I’m going to carry on from here, lest I get bogged down by the trial of catching up!
I’m not a terribly spiritual person, David is slightly better, but we have a good friend who can hopefully provide this input. I meant [...]
HURRAH! we’re finally back after yet another house-move. This will be Thomas’ third home, if you count his stay in utero. Not bad for a 7-month-old!
Anyway, there’s too much to catch up on, so i’ll have to summerise. Thomas is able to crawl backwards, pull himself up to standing, has tried [...]
