Firsts

Our little True is certainly getting bigger. I can't believe it but next week he'll be 6 months old!! It goes so fast! So I think I need to try and post a bit more frequently to keep the fam up to date! This week we've had 3 "firsts" that I thought I'd share with you all.
This week I converted his pram to the upright position. So when we walked to the shops he was able to really sit up and look around for the first time! I have to say he really did look like a big boy. And in his little polo and cargos he would fit right in on the rugby field!

For a while now True has been eyeing our glass or cup and trying to get it every time we time we take a drink and he has just recently been making me feel very guilty every time i go to eat something. So a couple days ago i was cutting up some apples for lunch and let him gnaw on the core. He seemed to like that so I gave him an apple slice. So these are his "first food" pictures. I'm not quite ready for him to start solids yet, seems like that moves him into the next category away from "my little baby", not that he's been little since about 2 months! But anyway, we'll see how it goes!

And finally, True fell off the bed for the first time. I was sleeping on one side of the bed and he was playing in the middle with pillows on the other side. I guess he wriggled to the top of the bed and fell off head first, pinning himself upside down between the headboard and the wall. I heard him, jumped up and ran to the other side of the bed. I was confused because I didn't see him, then I saw his little feet poking out the top of the mattress! poor thing! So I was trying to pull him off his head by his feet and calling for alan to come help (good thing he was home!). Once we got him pulled free we checked him out and he was fine. Just a nice scratch on his head that was gone by the next day.
I figure this is just the first of many scratches. And I have convinced myself this isn't a reflection of my parenting because all babies fall off the bed at somepoint, right?!?
Poor thing! I just keep seeing his little feet poking out!
That's it for now! Ciao!

My friend's grandmother said that a baby won't make it in this world unless they fall off the bed at least once. So, it's definitely not your parenting!

He is so cute Jeans! He does look like a big boy in his pram...and eating apples! Very cute!
