Mater: These are a few of your favourite things

Avodaco Jr, you certainly have been keeping your Mater and Pater busy - we've barely had a chance to blog about how much you've grown and what's happened to you in the past month. Not that everything's changed; you're still far from being a big fan of food. This hasn't stopped Mater though. No matter how much you flail your arms, push it away, or purse your lips, Mater is relentless with the mush! At least we've discovered that you actually like feeding yourself. The next hurdle is Mater letting go and allowing a bit of mess as you attempt to feed yourself (yikes).
You still love to play, but Fisher-Price, Baby Einstein and Playskool are no longer any fun. Your current favourite toys are made of black plastic by the likes of Samsung and RIM.
Where once we cooed over you sitting up, we're now used to it and hardly regard it as something special. You've spoiled us. We do however enjoy your discovery that you are no longer restricted to what's going on at floor level. Pater calls it 'nosey'. Mater prefers 'healthy curiosity' and understands totally - what woman likes to miss what's going on around her??? With this healthy curiosity has come an outlet for your excitement at new things - clapping your hands like a lunatic. For the record, you clapped first for Pater. Mater can live with Pater seeing something first.
I love this post (and all the others), especially the new words to an old song. Avocado chose her parents wisely.
