Un-BEAR-able!

Christopher is teething and is now getting difficult, he was unBEARable, however, thanks to Kate he is now very BEARable. Perhaps one could even say he is overBEARing! Ok, enough of the bad puns.

We have entered the realms of solid foods, and while the rice cereal is a bit messy, the white makes it look relatively tame. Butternut, on the other hand, is clearly a messy affair. Add to that a father who has not mastered this whole feeding procedure and you have a recipe for mess!

He does seem to be enjoying the butternut and we have now put our blender (thanks Ed and Ann) to it original use. I thought the daiquiris were a perfectly legitimate use as well, but baby food was the original reason for the blender. Maybe we should try butternut daiquiris? Yum!
Christopher has now learnt to roll over, well at least halfway. He can roll from his back onto his stomach, but hasn't quite figured out how to roll back yet. So after getting onto his tummy, he gets tired of holding his head up and then either cries until we help him onto his back, or he puts his head down and has a little rest. Just like some friends of ours who specialise in 'little rests'!
Shirley has also now joined the realms of parenthood with baby Keira (2.45kg) born on 16 September at 00:12. She is doing well but we have not managed to go and see her yet, we will hopefully be seeing her in the next day or two.
