Development

Two more teeth

I had been crying also when we came home from the holiday. My parents didn't understand why I was crying. Next day there were two more teeth, the fourth and the fifth!

I got my 3rd tooth!

I had been crying a lot during the night lately, but my parents did not know what was wrong. This morning my parents suddenly discovered my new tooth!

Almost crawling!

The nurse at the health care station told my mom that I would soon start crawling.  I have been lying on my stomach a lot lately, and I am trying my best to move forward by moving my legs - but my knees will not touch the ground. For now, I can only push myself backwards or look around the room by moving sideways. Today, I finally found out how to use my knees right and luckily my dad was sitting next to me with our camera! With a little more practice I think I will be able to move around the living room soon!

Finally I managed to turn myself from back to stomach without any help from my mom! My parents were cheering me on as I kept trying and trying!

I am 6 months old!

Today I turned 6 months old! I was at Ålgård the whole day,  and I was very eager to play with "mormor" and "morfar". Last week I started making many different sounds with my tounge. I babble much these days! I have also started crawling backwards the last few days,  and I turn more often from my stomach to my back and also the opposite way (but then with a little bit help from mom)!

I am eating and drinking like a grownup!

My parents are trying to get me to eat normal food. Of course, I have shown them that this comes at a cost - they have to wash all my clothes after I have eaten. Also, 90 % of the water I drink will end up on my clothes. This morning (in the cabin in Ådneram) I decived to show my dad that they are underestimating me. I took his glass of water and just started drinking. During breakfast I showed my mom that I can eat bread, and that I want to bite in a banana myself, not the mashed stuff they have been feeding me.

It is only a couple of days ago my first tooth was "born". Now it does not have to feel so alone anymore, because today it got company of my second tooth! I am now putting them to good use in trying to eat banana.

I got my first tooth!!

Today I was crying a lot even though mom tried to comfort me. In the evening my parents saw the tooth and they smiled! I don't know why they were smiling because I was in pain....

My first time in my new sports carriage

Today my parents took me for a walk in my new carriage. It was very fun to sit and look at everything. This was a new experience and I loved it!

I managed to bite my big toe!

I have been playing much with my toes lately, and today I took one of my big toes in my mouth!! My parents were smiling a lot!
