Big strong boy

We were looking back at some photos the other day, and it seems like such a short time ago that Ollie couldn't even hold his head up on his own. And now look at him - he's sitting up all by himself, and feeling very pleased with his efforts thank you very much!



We're onto first solids now too, and just like his dad he's showing a great liking for pretty much everything to do with food. Kumara is a bit of a favourite, but pear is absolutely the top of the list of things to eat. He's very keen to grab the spoon, and has to be watched to make sure he doesn't get hold of the whole bowl and put it everywhere! He's surprisingly tidy when he eats too - but I guess being such a guts it's just a practical tactic to avoid wasting any.

We've also been lucky enough for Ollie to have the loan of Charlotte's exersaucer, which he's taken to with no trouble at all. He really loves being on his feet, and with this he can do that for ages without us supporting him, plus he gets heaps of cool stuff to play with as well!



Now let's just hope that the solids will mean he'll sleep a little later in the mornings - 5.30am is not a parent-friendly time to be getting up...
