Wheels, Water and Wuf'nTubble

Hi there!

I'm 21 months, still sleep twice a day and have hit the three word phase! My sister's nearly 3.5 years old now and is such a cool play mate. I'm into tractors big time - in fact anything with wheels really! I can now just about name all the vehicles when we go into town. 'Conkeet Tuk' (concrete truck) is the latest name I've volunteered.

I've got all the animals sorted now (horses are my favourite - but everything at a distance please...or I get really spooked!); climbing into my highchair's sussed too and I've even nailed how to open a baby-proof bottle. Biggest achievement? I've earned the most points with Mum by being able to count to 3 and having no hesitation to helping out with pack-up-time! My Dad's smitten with the moments I'm saying 'Soh-wee' (sorry)...and I've been known to say soh-wee to the chair and door if I bump into them.

I've had the chicken pox, but aside from a double ear infection, nothing much else has caused any grief. I've just learnt that 'using my words' will see loads of things go my way, but have yet to figure out that worms don't like being stretched so much they split into two! I love wuf'tubble (rough & tumble') with my Dad and when Bronnie gets to babysit, I'm in water-play heaven! Heck I wish Mum and Dad would go out more often!

Dinner time's probably the time I get into the most trouble - I can't figure out why the food has to stay on the plate if I'm not eating it! Favourite foods: grapes, crackers, pears, bacon, noodles, raisins, peas - especially if frozen, and yoghurt covered raisins !

The greatest things happening in our family life these days, is that our new house is being built right now. It started last week, Nov 10th 2009 and Dad got the honor of hitting the first peg in (he even gets to help build the whole place!). I've scored a war wound along the way though... I tried to lean over the boxing for the concrete floor and slipped into the ditch that the digger built! But nothing's broken - just another bruise. Tame, considering the injury saved as I worked out how to climb out of my cot tonight! Mum caught me in time...but ah-ha, my cot days are now over!

All up, life's very cool!
Not bad for nearly a year's worth of catchup!
Bye for now! Love Jak0b

The Talking Machine

Hello there!
We're doing great - another blog within a month. But hey - we're in cruise mode and I'm being groovy.

I have to share this...I got some brownie points this week! "Mum-mum-mum," gets Mum's attention; "Dad-dee" get's Dad's and "Nan-na" just about had Dad's mum collapse. I tried Katelyn, but Cake is as good as I can manage right now. "Na!" has got Mum worried, but "Ta!" is okay! 'Bah' is good for 'Boo' and as for the rest? Watch this space :)

I am seriously into stacker boxes, a tiny plastic orange golf ball and smacking my head into the cot sides. Kicking my blankets off as soon as a try-hard parent puts one on is a huge game and when you take me out of the bath, I'll even tell the neighbours that I'm so not impressed. I can sob within seconds, have got the drama-like cry sussed and still get truck loads of smiles in return for one of mine! Life's great!

End of an era

Hello again...
I've done it! I've got sitting mastered. Mum realised that she'd plonk me on my stomach so I could get places and hardly ever on my butt! Now the best place to be is right beside the toy box.

My favourite thing to play with are the wipes - if the lid was childproof, the inventor did a haphazard job. It's easy to open - especially with my teeth :). At best I can get about 20 wipes out, at worst, just one - depending on whether my sister dobs me in or not. Otherwise, it's our stacking boxes and anything musical.

So, an end of an era! Sitting is groovy... On the topic of 'an end of an era'... My great grandad John Albert McKinnon died last week: 21/07/1907 - 13/11/2008. He was nearly 99.5 years old. Amazing! This meant I got my first trip on an aeroplane too: Wellington to Invercargill. Not bad - considering I was bound to Mum for what seemed like forever! I was the youngest of 8 great-grandkids of Great Grandad.

All up though, I'm good: 8,4kgs @ 9 months old, taller than average and I 'swim' across the floor - freestyle! Life's cruisie :). I love it!

I'm 8 Months Old

Hello! I'm on the move, have almost got sitting sussed and I do damage when I bite - Dad's been heard to call me a 'two-tooth' (once a farmer, always a farmer)!

My dad's probably got issues with the length of my hair, but Mum's not got any issues about how I sleep! She's loving the fact that I sleep right through the night now - after 7 months exactly. Mind you, I get heaps of exercise rolling, manoeuvring around and kicking like fury!

All up, I'm a happy camper. I sleep for 2-3 hours every 2.5 or so hours during the day, love my food and haven't yet objected to any flavour or consistency. I drink out of a straw-in-a-cup (when my sister actually lets me have it) and am only on formula when Mum takes off for a day or so with her work.

Life's great from my point of view! Check out Katelyn's Blog and our photo sites for more.
