Things I have done since last updating the blog
Celebrated Grandpa's birthday - I showed off by doing my little rocking dance and working my cute look(s). Great Grandma seemed to like this
Hey, this baby thing only lasts so long, I need to work it while I can
Celebrated Daddy's birthday - he won't tell me how old he is but he keeps shaking his head and complaining about grey hairs (mummy keeps making comments about special birthday parties next year)
MWAH!!!
Celebrated Auntie Riley's birthday - she doesn't have any angst about grey hairs. She's nice
:D
Nan and gramps stayed with us that night so I got lots of cuddles.
After all that celebrating I found that my pants were getting a bit tight with all the good squishey I had been drinking. Fortunately mum had acquired some new gear (from somewhere called ebay - must investigate this ebay option)
We then went to the Gold Coast to see my other Great Grandma and Grandma. They took me to a parade on Wednesday where there were all these plastic things called flags and lots of people were wearing suits and bright shiny things on them. The plastic things didn't taste that good and I fell asleep half way through things only to be woken by a loud trumpet. GAH!! Mummy gave me some hand holding action at this point so I didn't cry. I'm seven months old (almost) now. I'm a big boy!
On Friday we went to see Great Grandma (Nanny) as Great Grandpa was sick and had to go to hospital to get better. I gave her lots of cuddles to try and cheer her up. Uncle Ron was there too and I showed him how well I sit up now (he got some cuddles too).
We went to see Great Grandpa yesterday - more cuddles and kisses (I am a great advocate of cuddling and kissing therapy).
Now I'm all cuddled out.

The Muffin Man speaks.... sort of
Grayson C reporting in - well overdue I know - with more updates from the madness known as my family (someone has to do the blogging, and with the parental units back at work, I am trying to pull my weight)
We moved mid-late March from our comfortable surrounds into more comfortable surrounds (well, I keep hearing mum and dad going on and on about ducted air conditioning, miele gas and how much they love being back at Teneriffe). I was a bit disturbed at first, owing to a significant lack of buzzy bees and dotti stickers - the bee situation has somewhat improved but I have NO idea where my dots are. (If only I was mobile I could go looking).
As for the other upheavals in my life...
Mum had to go back to work.
WAH!
Dad decided to go away for a few weeks (although I got to see him most days, I couldn't take him home with us - and mummy was kind of sad too)
WAAAAH!
One word - VACCINATIONS
WAAAAAAAAAAAH!
Ok, I confess - I decompensated. I regressed. Not back to foetus-hood, but I may have gone back to waking up a few times in the night. Well, mummy must have been up at just the same time too as she kept coming in and giving me a cuddle or some hand holding action. I worked out if I did it often enough, she would take me into bed with her - mummy cuddles whenever I want! (I slept really well after this).
Then one Friday, Daddy came home and stayed. As there wasn't enough room in the bed for me, I decided to sleep through the night again. (after which I kept hearing mum say that I was being a potato-head. Must look up meaning of potato head in dictionary)
Other news? I am slowing down in the growth stakes, which is a great relief to the parental units - as they kept muttering about the effects of freezing and defrosting on DNA, I am trying to stand up (and yes am working on crawling/wiggling too - I am well aware of the developmental concerns of babies who don't crawl - BWAH!) and the three of us are enjoying the delights of living close to the river/parks/restaurants etc etc. Must convince the parents we need to live around here permanently.
later...
