Oren is quite clearly becoming more independent. Now that he can crawl, when I leave the room (usually to get something done in the kitchen) he comes crawling to find me. Yesterday DaddyB arrived home to find me sorting out dinner in the kitchen, and Oren mid-crawl watching what I was up to.
It has also meant it has been a bit easier to find out when Oren wants something. When he is on the carpet playing in the living room, if he gets hungry or tired (or just wants a cuddle) he will now come crawling up to where I am sat on the sofa and either try and pull himself up using my legs for leverage, or he will just lay his head down on my feet and start sucking his thumb. It is very cute, although he is normally squawking at the same time!
He is desperately trying to pull himself up on everything, and I am so glad we are moving house sooner rather than later, as we need to do some serious babyproofing! DaddyB has been ebaying for bargains, and we have babygates to collect and a new tv cabinet! Yesterday Oren found the ‘ON’ and ‘EJECT’ button the Daddy’s Playstation and managed to turn it on and then eject the disc in there! Which I didnt even know how to do.
He is getting more and more independent in terms of wanting to feed himself too. Im just doing it with finger foods at the moment – but he is very funny. He used to be so delicate with finger food, whereas now he just stuffs as much in his mouth as he can – as the attached photo shows – Oren tried to eat a whole Pizza Express dough ball in one go!! Luckily, he seems to have learnt not to try swallowing the whole lot at once!
He is so intelligent and learning so fast, I have no idea what he will have picked up by the time he is 9 months old!
We are in difficult week number 2 at the moment though. Although Oren’s croup cough seems to have subsided somewhat, he still has a nasty cough and it woke him up at 6.30 both this morning and yesterday morning – which is far too early for a tired, pregnant mummy! He was also a very cranky baby yesterday and wouldnt eat, sleep or play – so it was a very long day. And the poor mite has developed the worst bout of nappy rash Ive seen. He seems to be much better in himself today than he was yesterday, bar the early wake up call, so Im hoping that we are on the mend again.
