The lovely ladies at Catchy Creations, a free graphics website, have made these forum signatures for me, using a couple of wonderful photos that Sandra took on Campbell's naming day ... awesome, don't you think?

A week in Masterton

I've finally got round to downloading and uploading a whole heap of photos taken during our week in Masterton, a couple of weeks ago. We all had a blast, except for the flights (particularly during descent, my little boy hated it - apologies to those on the plane who had to endure his screaming!).

On Saturday 8th August, Campbell turned 6 months old! I really have no idea where the time has gone, my tiny prem baby has grown into a special wee boy. We ended up having the best naming day for him that Saturday, a nice casual day for a special occasion. My dad organised a tree planting for us in the Millenium Reserve in Masterton - we all planted a native tree each in our own special patch. Campbell has a young kahikatea that will grow as tall and strong as he will.
On the Tuesday, we had a baby catch up - two of my online friends came over from the Hutt and Feilding, and an old childhood friend and Campbell's cousin Zach came over as well. With Cam in the photo, are Chelsea and Tessa.


While we were there, Campbell started sitting by himself for good periods of time - we got a bit of video of him doing it!

My busy wee boy....

As Campbell rapidly approaches the 6-month old mark, he's been busy with reaching other milestones too. He's got his own highchair now, which he loves! He has a sippy cup - he hasn't got the hang of holding it himself yet, but I got annoyed with the stupid non-spill lid, so he sips water from the cup without the lid on, like a big boy, and I hold the cup for him.




He is obsessed with his toes at the moment- every chance he gets, his legs are high in the air and he's playing with them! He rolled from his back to his side yesterday while playing with them, now he just needs to get right over to his tummy!

He is also close to sitting up unsupported - his best attempt is 11 seconds before toppling and landing in mummy's arms! Today he managed to correct himself when he began to go sideways, but then he overcorrected and went over in the opposite direction! Soon he won't need me backing him up at all! He is growing up so fast!

Just to finish off, here's his latest baby babble, filmed today - he was busy telling me how much fun he had today catching up with his little friends, Lachlan and Emily....
