Day 680
1Y 10M 11D |
We went to toddler group today. Nathan didn't crawl
around on his own as much as ususal, but he did get a go in one
of the "Flintstone"
cars while no one else was looking. |
Mon 17th July
Day 679
1Y 10M 10D |
Nanna and Gramps came today. Nathan met them halfway up the
road in his little car.
Dad was counting, and the lad interrupted on the count of eight
by counting it himself. He continually surprises us.

Day 678
1Y 10M 9D |
We went to Grandma's house to meet up with most of Nathan's
UK based relatives. There were two other little 'uns, 2½
years, Nathan (22 months) and 3 months. The lad had a good day.
He wanted to do and play with everything that the older one
was doing.
In the morning the lad helped dad do the laundry by taking
his socks off and putting them into the machine.
In the evening Nathan strung two words together for the first
time by saying "Goodnight Daddy" (the first time he
said "Goodnight" as well).

Day 677
1Y 10M 8D |
Nathan's feeling a bit better, although his lack
of sleep's made him a bit grumpy. The lad's been standing up and
cruising more than ever. Will he walk before his second birthday? |
Fri 14th July
Day 676
1Y 10M 7D |
Nathan had a little sniffle yesterday, and today
it's a cold. The poor lamb's a bit under the weather, and dad
didn't have the chance to update the site, because the lad was
up pretty much all night. |
Thu 13th July
Day 675
1Y 10M 6D |
We returned to Thursday Toddler Group after a break of three
weeks, and the lad was back on Dad's knee for most of the session.
No doubt he'll be back to crawling around the place in the near
future.
We had a little trip to the local busy road just to watch the
cars. Nathan loved it, but after half an hour he started to
get a bit fractious, and was whinging away. Dad tried to get
his attention by saying "Nathan... Nathan... NATHAN".
The lad responded with "WHAT", which may just possibly
be what dad does to the lad in similar circumstances.
Mum came home and managed to convince Nathan, who was cruising
around a kitchen chair, to take a few steps while holding her
hands.

Wed 12th July
Day 674
1Y 10M 5D |
Nathan started the day with some teething pain, and also suffered
from his perennial constipation problem.
We went to music class, and another little lad, who we've known
for a while, came and sat on dad's knee whereupon the lad burst
into tears. Jealousy is a terrible thing.
The weather forcast had guaranteed a rare sunny day, so a little
group of us had planned a picnic at Wellington Country Park.
The weather was not as good as advertised, but nevertheless
we had a lovely time. Activities included the picnic, a romp
around the play area (Nathan stayed on his blanket), a tour
of the animals, and a ride on a train.
The lad's not been going to sleep as easily since our return
from holiday. He needs one of us in the room with him while
he dozes off at night (during the day Nathan just kips whenever
he feels like it).

Tue 11th July
Day 673
1Y 10M 4D |
Nathan ate a surprisingly large number of things today (for
a boy on permanent hunger strike). Including biscuits, toast,
and crisps. Not exactly health food, but it'll do.
The lad's continuing to make progress with his walking. Today
he cruised around a chair, and cruised while stepping over dad's
leg. As his legs get stronger, he's starting to enjoy it!
