Wow this update is long over due, Freddie has already had haircut number 2 since the last post!!!

Where to begin, I went back to work in February, 4 days per week, have settle back in relatively well. Freddie has settled well into daycare, he loves going to Mona for a cuddle every morning but is always super excited to see Mum and Dad in the afternoon. He is now the oldest in his room, we’re just waiting on a vacancy in Nursery 2 and he will be moved up.

Freddie started crawling in March, he showed us that he could crawl much earlier then that but just refused to do it then one day he just decided to take off and hasn’t looked back!! Being mobile of course means that he gets into everything, his favourite is to go into the pantry and reorganise it for me!! He also loves riding along on his Batman ride-on bike, thinks he’s pretty clever!! He is very nearly walking, he will walk quite happily if he can hold your hand but doesn’t like walking on his own, although tonight he did let go and walked about 5 steps on his own to Daddy.

Freddie continues to love his food, mostly, he LOVES tomato sauce and Vegemite, in fact he gets most upset if he doesn’t get his nightly drink of sauce from the sauce bottle!!! He is mostly still eating mashed food but does like a biscuit, toast or a sandwich, especially if there is Vegemite involved and he LOVES chippies!!!

We are very blessed that he has been a good sleeper from about 8 weeks, he continues to love his sleep but occasionally wakes us up to keep us on our toes, really though he hates waking up night as much as we do!! Teething has been the main thing that wakes him, he now has 7 teeth, 4 on top and 3 on the bottom. We are currently trying to transition him from 2 sleeps each day to 1, his daycare careers suggested it might be time cause they now have difficulties getting him to have his morning sleep and he takes great pleasure in keeping the other babies awake too!! They’ve also informed us that as he does go to sleep he fights it by poking himself in the eye to try and stay awake!!

We recently took Freddie on his first outing the park, he loved the slide and but wasn’t really sure about the swing until Daddy pushed him a bit faster and then he loved it ) At home he continues to love playing with his ball, he loves playing catch and spends hours chasing his ball all over the place, he’s also a big fan of his Elmo, loves having a cuddle with Elmo!!

Freddie is continuing with his swimming lessons, we go every Sunday morning, he is doing well, he loves ‘jumping’ in the water and floating on his back and is quite good at safety stepping into the pool. We are still working on his safety stepping out of the pool and kicking with a kick board but he is doing very well, he can now hold the kick board on his own and can also crawl across the floating mat. We’re also still working on blowing bubbles, he just thinks that concept is funny!

Daniel and I are both well, Daniel continues to write of Ausdroid and is doing very well. Daniel and Alan are both competing in the Sun Herald City 2 Surf event in Sydney next month, Freddie and I will be at the finish line cheering them home!!

Anyway its time for bed, will try and update more regularly and will add some photos soon, sorry too slack to do it tonight!!
