Campbell has started sitting like this, with one leg behind him - somehow this must be genetic, because Danial used to sit like this when he was a wee tyke! 

Anyone remember how when I was pregnant, everytime I ate venison I got kicked from the inside?

Well, here's Campbell's first taste of venison on the outside!  He loved it, he chewed this piece of back steak for quite a while!

First swimming lesson

After some early morning panicking (first getting to the wrong pool, then had been given the wrong time!), Campbell finally had his first swimming lesson.  His entrance into the pool was accompanied with a bit of crying, but after the first 5 minutes he loved it!  Just like a massive bath!  He ended up having half an hour with the 2-year-olds, then nearly another half hour with his own class (under 1 year or so)!  While Daddy had the first class in the water with Campbell, Mummy went crazy with the camera, although unfortunately a lot were blurry.  Here's just a few...

Busy, busy, busy!

The past month has been pretty busy for us all - we had some help from Sandra, Danial's mother, putting in a brand spanking new flatpack kitchen and wallpapering Campbell's room! Not quite finished, but most of it got done. It is so amazing having a nice, functional kitchen!



Campbell loves his new wallpaper, and his awesome grandma!



And trying out his cool camo sunglasses!

Campbell tried vegemite on his bread the other day, here's his response (I think he wasn't so keen)....

Campbell's also been busy getting on with new milestones .... his first tooth popped through 2 days before he turned 8 months old, and his behaviour over the last 2 days leads me to believe his second tooth may not be too far away! He rolled completely from his back to his tummy by himself last night, and today went from sitting over onto his tummy! Maybe it won't be much longer before he starts to move around... eek!
