Melissa has let us borrow Hamish's old walker. Daniel was quite unsure to start with but is now getting the hang of it. I think his legs are too long for it!
Daniel is now 9 months old. He's started commando crawling and another interesting method of bottom scooting. He is now consistently clapping his hands and waving. Still no teeth though! His latest is to chase the dog around trying to grab his collar. Daniel is also fond of looking at himself in the mirror and screaming, heaps of fun for all!
For Father' Day we went to Grandpa's house and saw Grandpa, Harrison, Ben, Amanda and Nick. After lunch we all headed to the park across the road. Daniel had his first experience on a swing. It nearly became his last when he fell forward! Thank goodness for the cross bar! He had an assisted ride down the slide. Gobi enjoyed his first ride on a swing.
Daniel hasn't quite mastered the idea that you lie on the mat to elicit the sounds......
For the quiz team, "We don't need Qatars" or guitars for that matter.....
Here's Daniel revving his engine, hasn't quite learnt how to get it moving. He spends a great amount of time rocking on his knees.
The bottom photo is of Daniel, Benjamin, Harrison and Hamish playing the yard at Mel's. All very busy boys!
Looking very much like an eight month old, he's growing up into a little man very quickly. At eight months he is 10.1kg and 76cm long. Obviously still off the chart for his length. He's still exploring the world by rolling, he'll rock on his hands and knees but it doesn't seem to progress! He can sit, bang things together and is attempting to clap his hands. His language still consists of dadada and other interesting sounds he creates! He enjoys the dog and the cat and laughs when Marshall plays with the dog. At any chance Gobi will give Daniel a good lick.
