Spring is finally kicking in – Scout is so much happier outdoors (drinking champagne, watching the geegees, falling over in a pool of her own vom… cough, splutter, ahem, where the Hell was I? Oh, no, this is not my station…) wreaking havoc (“I tell you, we were trying to grow that grass, lady!”) so days have been less intense. Less relentless. ‘Cos that’s what you get when you have a baby – on call 24/7 – particularly when you’re breastfeeding – not that I resent her for that, but you really start to savour the concept of going to work and actually having a one-hour lunchbreak when you’re not accountable to anyone or have to think about anything.
Little Scout can now wave to people coming and/or going, if you happen to have found her favour for that day. And annoyingly she’s been waking herself up several times a day and night, by rolling over onto all-fours, unable to get back down again. It gets old really bloody quickly.
She’s been “about to crawl” for so bloody long as well, now that’s getting old. She does have a cool caterpillar crawly thingy, where she makes out like a caterpillar (NOOOOOOO!) and she’s very very speedy, but no actual crawl yet. Not that I’m willing it. All my spare moments will come to an abrupt halt when that happens. Nothing will be sacred…
Permanent Link | - I unfortunately do not know a lot about babies but how old do they usually crawl?
My brother never crawled, I know that, cos he was too fat but he started walking as soon as he turned 9 months due to his sturdy (read: fat) legs! I walked at 9 months also but our neighbour didn’t walk til he was 15 months old…I think it depends on the baby right?
Scout is getting cuter and cuter if that is possible!
I hope scout enjoys the melbourne cup and her champers!

btw: Spring?, spring? what do you mean spring? Winter is kicking in, we´re already freezin our asses off. WAAAAAAAAAAH, I want out of here … (should have moved when we had the immigration visa 24 years ago).
