Here is a status on the development of our son, which is very interesting for the parents, grandparents, mummies and child development research people, but for everyone else its just the normal way of life.
The last two weeks, since coming to NZ, the following noticable developments have taken place:
Joshua has been able to sit by himself for several decades of minutes, the amazing development is actually not the fact that he can sit upright for that length of time, but that he doesn't have to be entertained for almost the same lenght of time.
When he gets tired of sitting he will try to stand, which often results in a forward tumple, head first into the carpet and then to his back or tummy.
Joshua is eager to try to crawl, however, the skills of getting legs and arms to work together still needs a bit of development, which results in him either going backwards or in circles, and the fustration often ends in a cry for help.
Joshua has started eating solids, which consists of rice cereal mixed with banana, carrot, apple or pear. The consistency can hardly be classified as a solid, but still its less runnier than milk and it changes the colour of his poos.
The dinner feed normally goes really well and he will gobble down a small bowl of the stuff, while the breakfast feed is limited to a few teaspoons.
His night time sleeping is very irregular going from sleeping all night through (7.30 pm to 6 am) to walking a couple of time for a feed (normally 1-2 am and 5-6 am) generally he will go back to sleep quite well after a feed.
Joshua has discovered the ability to make noises other than crying. These are coughing and making lip smacking noises. Furthermore, the use of his demanding cry has been used for things otherthan food.
Okay that's the development news from a dad's perspective.
