Halves, 2.5 and .5

Christopher will be 6months old this week. He is rolling now and can get his
arms out to pop his head up when on his tummy. He is starting to look
chubbier now, must be the solids helping I think. I'll arrange for a
weigh-in with the karitane nurses.
He isn't sitting or crawling yet, but is starting to be able to hold his
weight on his legs when "standing" while held.

Bevan has his first dental nurse appt this week too. I hope he opens his
mouth for her and that he doesn't have teeth problems. He has strong, white,
well spaced teeth, but his dental hygiene isn't the best as his teeth
brushing is a bit sloppy.
His words are flourishing. I'm really proud of him. As well as improving
his vocab for nouns, he has figured out some trickier stuff like:
*Over there
*It's down there
*Another.

His toilet training is slow but progressing. He doesn't seem to have the
sensation that he needs to go, and I think that training for poo will be
especially hard as he has toddler diarreah. Anyway, he'll sit on the potty
and sometimes a poo or pee will come. He has sat a few times on the toilet
but isn't as confident there. Tonight he put his teddy on the toilet, so I
think his normalising of toileting is starting to happen.

Bevan has decided that Kit is now old enough to wrestle with. So I have to
keep an eye on them so that Kit doesn't get hurt. He mostly laughs and
giggles and enjoys the attention, but it could have bad results very
quickly.

Love,

Chaucey
