Another week has flown by, and Dad finally seems to have finished being sick, so life is starting to return to normal.
Two Sundays in a row now, Dad has been home with Puff while Mum went to church: this meant that Dad didn’t have to go out while sick, and Mum could still see people and listen to a sermon.
When well rested, Puff has a great time playing and running around. More and more often, we see him pull faces like this:
When he’s tired, though, we see first a loss of posture (this particular one means that he’d like to finish his mealtime).
Not long afterwards, we see – once back in the car – this kind of thing.
If we can get him home and into his cot when he’s asleep in the car, he’ll generally sleep for an hour or so in the middle of the day.
One afternoon when he was awake, baby H came by. With the age gap, Puff still wasn’t quite sure about how to play with another baby, but he had a great time playing with her toys.
With winter well underway, he’s been trying out some new clothes. You can see his new slippers in the photo above (slightly easier to have him wear slippers than wear socks). Here he is with a scarf – is it safe for babies to wear scarves?
His grandma also gave him a new jumper that she’d knitted for him: he’s still getting used to the scratchiness of wool compared to the polar fleece that he’s used to:
We’re still facing the challenge with having Puff respond when he’s called for dinner. He gets three warnings, and then we pick him up, tell him what he’s done wrong, and then put him in his chair anyway. So much repetition, but we seem to be seeing some breakthroughs: – he seems to be obeying more regularly.
