week 13

Another week has gone by, and for the first time, we don’t have photos of the things we’ve been up to: perhaps we’re getting more used to having Puff around?

We’re starting to see him be too big for 000 clothes, and are slowly phasing in the 00 clothes. This is making us realise that he won’t be tiny for long, which is sad, but inevitable.

Puff’s screensaver face continues to be the worried look.

What was a mild interest in toys last week has become a little more of an interest: he can now play with toys for a minute or two without dropping them.

On his tummy, his neck is still getting stronger. If he isn’t too tired, he can hold his neck with a good deal of strength Mum has taken to the “flying baby” idea, where he is held flat, face down, and has the chance to keep his head up and look around. This is a regular way to see him smile.

We’ve also started reading to him from a little soft-toy book. After a few run-throughs, he seems to be happy to play with the book himself. A good sign of things to come?

Unfortunately, the sleeping through the night that he’s been teasing us with has faded: some nights he’ll have long sleeps, but other nights he’ll wake up on a regular basis… sometimes every few hours.

Firsts for this week:

– first trip to dad’s new office

– first dinner party at home

– first hong kong DVD

– first baby shower attended

– first time growing out of a 000 outfit
