Hi All,
It’s been a shocking
few weeks in the Catton household – we’ve been plagued by seemingly endless
sickness. Finley had three different afflictions all at once, poor little thing
but I’m happy to report we are all on the mend. It helps that the sun in finally
shining again after weeks of rain.
In positive Finley news,
we’ve been tracking his height on the chart the QLD Ryans gave us and in the
past month he has grown 4.5 cms! I knew all the food he eats must be going
somewhere. He really is an amazing eater – though he shares with his mother an
aversion to potato! Not encouraged by me at all – I wonder if it could be
genetic? ; )
Despite sickness he is progressing well. He has great
word recognition, waving when he hears ‘bye’, breaking out into a fit of excitement
when he hears ‘bath’ or ‘breakfast’, ‘lunch’ or ‘dinner’. He is fairly obedient and
listens to ‘stop’ and ‘no’. He is testing out new sounds and makes a whole
range of great noises when he flicks through an animal book on his own – when
we read it and make the noises he listens and watches our mouths intently. He
has discovered the joy of the kitchen and actually spends much of the day
resorting my shelves and draws. No walking yet but he is balancing on his feet
well and can toddle along with just one hand held. He’s a cautious little thing
and wants to get things right – it’s fun to watch.
Good things are happening in our lives – Levi turned
32 and had a quiet birthday with a big carrot cake! He has also been
offered a permanent position with his company which gives him great security
and peace of mind. In other news we are preparing to buy a block of land here
in the coming months and I’m getting ready to launch a little blog of all the
interesting things I get up to.
Hope life is treating you all well, we love you!
