Welcome to another month in the life of a Baby Wombat!
This has been a big month for exploring, and trying out new things. Here is Wombat trying on Mummy & Daddy's bed for size ...
It has also been the month of the pointing finger.
And where the pointing finger points, Mummy or Daddy must go - or risk a major meltdown! He is so determined about what he wants at the moment. The only problem is sometimes working out exactly what that is!
He has become much more adventurous and VERY rarely stays still for more than a few minutes in the day... I never realised how much energy a little boy has at this age - I'm flat out keeping up with him!
Here he is running down to throw a rock in the dam...
Does the world look different upside down?
Thankfully, Yeti has managed to replace the hot water system, because Wombat's new level of activity is requiring several showers a day!
Despite my best attempts to interest him in finger painting, he thinks dirt painting is much more challenging!
He also loves drawing with pen... I can't write anything at the moment without my pen being snatched away to make a Wombat work of art...
He does have pencils, and even uses them now and then... but his own pencils are nowhere near as much fun as something indelible...
The Valco playpen has been expanded once again, with the addition of a wooden wall, so Wombat now has half the loungeroom as his play area - and free access to the bedroom (an important part of potty training, as that is where his potty is kept).
Here is Wombat sitting at the table - in Daddy's chair - and reading his book to Mummy while she makes lunch. Favourite food at the moment is NOODLES!
To further expand Wombat's horizons this month, we have also removed the end of his bed - he can now crawl in and out whenever he wants to. No more can Mummy sit at the computer and hope he will go back to sleep. Now when he wakes up, he is "waked up to stay up and wake up the day!"
Though to Mummy's extreme relief, he does very regularly fall asleep and sleeps soundly - has to recharge those batteries somehow!!!
On the teething front, Wombat is cutting his canines this month - I am losing track of how many teeth he has now - a LOT!
Although he is very brave about the pain (and is much more likely to scream over emotional upsets than physical discomfort) I do think we will all be glad when this latest bout of teething is over.
