Wrigglebot is grumpy. He has another tooth coming through that is frustrating him. The biggest problem is that he wants to eat but it seems to hurt when he does and so he whinges and whinges and picks up whatever crumbs he can off the floor. On the up side he is starting to walk, [...]
Wrigglebot is now officially no longer a baby, he is a little boy. You ask me how I can tell, I can tell from his vomit. No longer is it milky and unoffensive now it is chunky and carrot filled. Wrigglebot was sick last night and threw up all over his bed and because I [...]
As a child I had a hero, Lisa Curry Kenny. She was an Olympic swimmer and I was sure that that was what I was going to be when I grew up. Well Lisa ended up as the face of Uncle Toby’s muesli bars and I never quite made it to that Olympic pool. Now [...]
Wrigglebot is communicating more each day. At first it was really cute he would point and say ‘Uugh, uugh,’ which sounds like a little repetitive grunting noise and then we would have to go and investigate what he was pointing at. This is all good except when it happens just about every five seconds and [...]
We’ve recently had some visitors, two ducks that fly in for a quick dip in our pool each morning. Wrigglebot loves them, he rushes over and stands leaning on the glass sliding door just watching them. He makes a lot of excitable noises and points a lot and when all the excitement gets a bit [...]
Some people have a special kind of funny, a funny that makes babies, who understand little, laugh and laugh and laugh while adults look on in amazement. Wrigglebot’s nanna is one such person, she raises an eyebrow and he laughs, she wriggles a toe and he laughs, she pulls his leg while he is trying [...]
We had visitors this weekend so Wrigglebot bunked in our room. Now you would think that because he knows our room and he was in his own cot with his own blankets he would sleep as good as usual. Not so. To him he was all alone in a dark room that was not his [...]
Wrigglebot’s first moments. How was that baby ever inside me? Wrigglebot’s first bath. One of the peaceful moments that you don’t mind fondly remembering. A sleeping Wrigglebot was my chance to quickly rush around and get things done, only very quietly. How sweet were the days before mobility. The mohawk that Husband was so proud [...]
Okay, so I know I haven’t been as regular at posting as I should be but I have a couple of excuses for you: number one, I have been having really bad continuous headaches that require copious amounts of napping as medication does nothing; number two excuse, I am working on a big post, something [...]
I am exhausted. Wrigglebot isn’t walking yet but he is more wriggly and fast moving than ever. It takes two people to change him easily otherwise he squirms rolls away, gets on his hands and knees and then he is off. I feel like all I do all day is chase him from room to [...]
