Hello Poogie,
well, I hate to admit it, but I think I swear more than your father. (more…)
Level of understanding – babies ‘get’ a lot more than I give them credit for August 11, 2010
Hello!
So. Last night. I was ready to go to uni and was just giving you a breastfeed before running out the door. You’re totally used to the night-time routine, so you knew what was going on. Sometimes if I’m too slow (running behind schedule), you come into the bedroom and get on the bed and tell me, “boobie, boobie, boobie” with your sign language to let me know that it is time for boobie. And then when you’re done sometimes you let me know that you’re ready for the next step (going to Daddy to say goodnight), by signing “Daddy” and saying “DaDa” then signing “Goodbye” (waving).

And you just are SO much fun to hang out with, that when you’re awake and I’m not working I just want to play with you. So housework and writing blogs has been slightly sidelined in preference to actual living.

Is it a bird, is it a plane? YES! The amazing signing baby! – Movie Monday (once again belated) May 11, 2010
Hello!
It’s belated Movie Monday again. I’ve been busy, what can I say.
You have also been busy. Learning. Do you remember that I’ve mentioned that I had decided then started trying to teach you baby sign language?
Well, the fruits of my and your labour are starting to pay off. (more…)
Rooooarrrr. Ack Ack. – Movie Monday March 29, 2010
I wrote about your new efforts at communication last week. (more…)
Roaring like a lion… and quacking like a duck. March 21, 2010
Communication is definitely the name of the game at the moment.
You’ve been roaring like a lion for weeks. It stems from your two favourite books of the moment:
