Heya, doll
TJ still loves dolls. He talks to them and flirts with them, and he attempts to eat their heads. I like to think that (with the exception of the cannibalistic enthusiasm) this indicates an empathic side.
The little girl in the second picture is the younger daughter of one of Louisette’s best friends, so she and TJ are destined to be best friends. . . whether they like it or not.
Boundless Playground
There’s a new playground in Canberra that’s a lot of fun – and is about 50% wheelchair accessible. . . which means it’s 50% stroller accessible (including part of the main structure, and a merry-go-round, and a MASSIVE swing that would hold about eight adults at once). It’s very close to the Carillon, and parking is free – but if you want to park more than an hour then you have to walk quite a long way (probably up a fairly steep hill) to get there, which is pretty dumb. Oh well – at least it means you remember the stroller.
Loving Life and Investigation
TJ isn’t technically crawling, but he can certainly move forwards when he wants to – and he knows it. His confidence has exploded and he’s enjoying his new freedom.
Afterthought
It was Louisette’s birthday today, so if you look carefully you can see TJ in the background.
Actually, I got a lovely picture of him but another kid (with parents who don’t want photos online) was in frame, and too hard to crop out – bit of a scissors job, when the inevitable scrap-book occurs.
Balloon, and Caterpillar
Today is the 20th, so we took the monthly picture of TJ in tux, on mat, with caterpillar.
Also, he likes balloons 🙂
Cruising the Activity Wall
TJ is in the very early stages of “cruising” (that is, walking while holding on) and the newly-secured Activity Wall is brilliant for him, as well as being a source of entertainment.
