A Bear, a Monkey & a little Monster!

Okay, so this week has not only been very busy but also very wet.

Sunday – Cooper has started to want to sit with us to have meals. Not in his highchair, rather at the table in a big boy seat. Very grown up. We also had a visit up to Nana’s. And to help her with some stuff in her roof. Cooper liked it too. Loved climbing through the garden. And the faeries. After that Reg brought two of the children she nanny’s for up to play with Cooper. They got on well, Cooper still needs time to learn about sharing but that will all come in time. Cooper also tried out some frozen yoghurt with great success!

Monday – A trip to the doctors to find that Cooper is cutting 4 teeth at once! OMG! This kid certainly doesn’t do things by halves. After the doctors we headed to Mitre 10 to pick up a couple of things. Then onto Thimbles and Threads to get sequins for Brooke’s Tutu. Before dinner, Cooper went on a Lion hunt and watched some TV… in a box. Monday night I started to sew on the sequins and it is a hard job to do – they are so tiny and finicky!

Tuesday -A few housekeeping things to do… in the rain though – argh! We went down to collect the carpet for the entrance way. It looks great and makes a huge difference to the entrance way. Cooper also received a birthday invite! Exciting! And off to Junglerama in a couple of weeks Also finished sewing as many sequins as my sanity would permit onto Brooke’s tutu.

Wednesday – Ness and Ella came around, in between showers, to drop off Ness’s jeans for me to modify. A new project to work on.  I also got Ella’s help to model the tutu that I had made for Brooke. She was a fantastic and the sequins show up quite nicely.

Thursday – a boring housework day with Groceries at the end. Yay!

Friday – Swimming day. The instructor was really impressed with Cooper’s kicking in the pool and he did very well with his little dives too… Super proud I am. We also tried something different for dinner. Salmon cakes. Cooper loved them and devoured them completely.

Today – A busy day. We headed down to the markets to get the fruit and veges early, catching up with Reg while we were down there. We grabbed a hot sausage from the free range pork vendor (so good!). After that we grabbed a couple of things from The Warehouse and headed over to Nana’s again to tend to the roof again. Back home again for lunch and a nap. In between getting home and napping etc Cooper got to Skype with all this grandparents. After nap time we headed out to the Short Straw Cafe for a catch up with some of the antenatal mums. It was a really nice venue and great to catch up with all the mum’s and dad’s.

Words of the week: This, Pop, More (with baby sign),  Morepork, Door, Juice, Book, Cooper, Bob and Not. We have had a few other words but they have been one-offs so we haven’t counted them.
