Tv is a good babysitter?

This week since having his needles, he has been the most cuddly little fellow. The day after was so sad, he was not himself at all. All he wanted was mummy cuddles. His routine went all out of whack but it’s back to normal now. He is over it now, but I feel like he is different maybe wiser. Don’t know exactly what it is. He seems older and tougher. Also while not feeling well he has gotten into the habit of watching television. Not sure whether that is a good or bad thing yet but it makes him so happy and he can’t get enough. I put it on the kids channel for him. I thought it would be a long time yet before I had to watch children’s shows. He even has his naps in front of it sometimes. Usually he wont sleep of a day time so that's good I guess. Here’s a few pictures of him glued to the telly.

As you might be able to tell, he just loves his teddy!

5 things from this week:

1. Grabbing things and putting them in his mouth, including dummy, teethers, my hair, mine and daddy’s fingers, blankets, his favourite is his own hand.

2. Talking and laughing- things actually sound like real words now but i know they are just random babble. He will hold a short conversation and thinks I am hilarious no matter what I say. His favourite thing that I say to him is “ What does the cow go Johnny? Moooo” an then he makes sounds trying to say moo.

3. He has worked out how to hold his hands together and play with them. He does it all the time now. And his feet too but he can only do that if I have him sitting up with me holding him.

4. We put the car seat forward facing this week. He loves being able to see out the windscreen at where we are going. We have a ute, he’s in the front passenger seat. He sits up well in it and doesn’t flop or slump.

5. New modern cloth nappies arrived, they look and feel so good. He smiles every time I put a new one on him, and laughs when I click the press studs shut. They work really well, don’t leak overnight with his 12 hour sleep when I put 2 boosters inside. We are all happy with them.
