7 Months old


Xander is now 7 months old. I can't believe where all the time has gone! I'm back at work now, which is hard, but not as hard as I thought. But I must be super organised and I can't believe how busy I am just keeping things afloat.


Xander now rolls around the room both ways, sits up for a long time, loves being on his tummy, squirms backwards around the room, eats sticks of cooked carrots, chunky puree, all sorts of veggies and fruit, sticks of toast and baby snacks (organic and wholesome of course). Tonight I'll cook some spaghetti bolognese for his lunch tomorrow.


He loves to yell at the kids at the child minders when they're not paying him enough attention and he loves all the activities that they play. He's just started to wave once in a while and he can say mama, fish and hi ya but doesn't really know what he's saying. And, he blows zerberts / raspberries - especially when he doesn't want to eat anymore.


He's just finished his first major cold. He lost his voice (which made the crying much more bearable), projectile vomited all over me, his childminder and the doctor, had a fever off and on for 4 days, went on antibiotics and is now much better. At least I got to cuddle him like a newborn again.


I'll post some pictures when I get around to it. x

Hi Diana, Nick and Xander,
Hope this gets to you. I think I went through all the right hoops.
Hope all is going well with working out of your home. It requires a juggler to balance all the things that out of home mothers are required to do. Good luck, we know you can do it.
Xander is doing great, growing like crazy. Thanks for the time you take to do the blog. It helps us far away relatives keep in touch. We check out the blog regularly.
Love you, Aunty Kelly & Uncle Mark
