The Monkey Loves Pumpkin

The monkey has been eating like a horse... he's becoming so chubby I can barely stuff his little sausage legs into his sleep suit anymore!  I had been saving a beautiful powder blue hoodie for him to wear when the weather got cooler - I used to pull it out of the drawer when he was a newborn and try to imagine him being big enough to wear it.  Well, I tried to put it on him yesterday but couldn't even get it over his head!  I'm devastated... its supposed to be for a 1 year old and he's only 6 months!  Clearly, we are a cosmic phenomena... the dwarf who bred a giant!

Early Birdie

Today I thought the Monkey woke at 6.10am

I got up

I gave him a bottle

I praised him for sleeping so well

I made a cup of tea

I sat on the carpet and sang songs

I wondered why it was still dark outside

I looked at the clock

It was 5.30 in the morning!

I need glasses

Doing the Monkey Crawl

Good Lordy, overnight the Monkey has learned to crawl!!!!  He literally went to bed immobile and woke up with jets strapped to his legs!  Admittedly, it's not a proper crawl... more of a commando shuffle  with a few swimming strokes thrown in for good measure but it's surprisingly fast and effective!

He spent the entire morning roaming the living room floor with a slightly wicked expression on his face. I'm sure he's convinced he can now take over the world... sucking one electric socket at a time!

If anyone is looking for me, I shall be busy baby proofing our apartment... something we of course failed to do in advance!
