Hi All,
I just wanted to apologise for not updating this blog in August or September - I have recieved some complaints and as such will update you on whats happening (not that you don't already know).
In August we moved houses - to our first family home in Shoalwater, only 1.2km to the beach. Our home has 230 square metres of living, and we are hoping to stay here for quite a few years to come - David keeps joking that we're having twins next which will mean that my study will no longer be my study but I guess we'll cross that bridge when we get to it!! I dont really fancy twins if you hadnt already gathered :)
August also saw Zachary get more teeth - he now has four in total and is currently rather rosy cheeked and chomping once again so we may be in for a few more soon..the poor tacker has my big gap in his front teeth, Im hoping that when the other teeth come in they will be pushed together but im not holding my breath!
September rolled arund rather quickly and saw Zachary learning to sit up by himself, and roll around his cot...he has also become accustomed to sleeping either with his bum in the air or with his feet up on the side of the cot..very cute indeed.
But now for the exciting news!! On Tuesday morning (7th October) Zachary crawled for the first time!! We've since put child proof door locks on the kitchen cupboard (he has a walker as well).and then last night he figured out how to go from sitting to crawling back to sitting and then to lying on his tummy.....very clever indeed! He is still a little hesitant at going from sitting to crawling positions but Im sure it wont take him long and he'll be doing it without any fuss. He has also beomc a fan of riding to the park (he doesnt ride I do..he just sits in his little seat) and then going on the slippery dip....and in the sand...which im afraid he throws at everyone. Not much of a sand eater tho..so i guess we are lucky :) He does however enjoy filling my shoes with sand..anyways hes' not real fussed with the swing or the rocking thing but absolutely loves the slippery dip, he even leans forward when at the top!!! My little dare devil!
Otherwise we are still not sleeping through and am still in negotiations about going for a week long stay at Ngala. I was schedualed to go in the first week Lukey was here in December but have managed to sqeeze myself in a few weeks earlier - just have to chat with David about it..anyways I shall leave you with some recent photos of the little man. Hope all is well with every one. All our Love S,D, Z
PS Zachary has his first swimming lesson next Thursday he is in Shelly the Shrimp class......note the incorrect spelling of Shelley!!!! :)
