A busy day in all! And a photo mad Mummy!

Grandma brought him a swing from Uncle M's house. We get lots of off casts from them as Billy's cousin Matthew is 6months older, so when he's out grown stuff we generally get it. The big advantage there is that they have more money than us so their seconds are normally s**t hot!

He's been playing on the decking now Daddy has re-oiled it, i wasn't very impressed with him crawling on it but try stopping him - no chance! The most interesting bit for him was leaning over trying to grab the grass and eat it! I think kids are pre-programmed to eat things like grass, mud, sand .............
Hes mastered pulling him self up and standing, thinks he's clever though now and is trying holding with just one hand!








And finally tea (dinner) alfresco style! Cod loin, gnocchi, warm bean dip and pitta bread, cant believe how much he ate, Daddy took so long cooking on the bbq that i had to make his in the kitchen first or he'd wouldn't have eaten until well past bedtime. I also think men a pre-programmed to faff about with bbq's!

Those pictures are so fun. Babies are the best! Glad you're enjoying it--your baby certainly is!

He looks ready for a good push on the swing and oh so proud to pull himself up. :-)

Billy is adorable. Your blog is wonderful. Love all the photos. It is so fun and interesting to see into the lives of other parents, some that are half way around the world even. I am in the USA in California.
As I was reading through some older posts I was surprised to hear someone say that breastfeeding was gross. How odd to think that of something so completely natural. It's why women have breasts.

I am also so impressed to see that Billy eats such a wide range of foods. We have been on the conservative end of feeding our twin girls. I breastfed and supplemented with formula until they were 8 mo old because I never could produce enough milk for both of them. We started them on solids at 6 months. They are now 11 months old and we make the majority of their foods but nothing quite like what we eat yet. They still get formula too. We need to branch out a bit and get more adventurous I think. We've just been so focused on sticking to the guidelines we've noted from some books.

(other Eva -- Sarah and Jordan's mom -- here, so confusing to have two of us commenting =).

Your son is adorable. And so advanced in motor skills. Great photos.

And I am super jealous of the outdoor dining as we deal with another storm and freezing weather.

Thanks for the comments, i think hes adorable but i'm bias! LOL

Its is nice to talk to Mum in different country, in fact it seems that most of my post are from americans. Blogs are done in Uk but in my experience its unusual.

The weather isnt normally like this, very strange for time of year.
