Sitting up from crawling position

I don't think J needs to crawl. He can twist and turn, get to where he wants to without crawling. Today he went from his tummy to crawling position to sitting up. He can fall to tummy position too!
He is about 6 and a half months. He enjoys getting about.

Pear Tree

I had a blanket to repair. Instead I unravelled to make another crochet kimono.

This time its 12month size which just fits my big bub.

Pear Tree merino with Treliske trim.

J wants to crawl but is doing just fine moving around anyway.

My happy boy.

The colour reminds me of the car we are trying to buy - the darker blue.

I adore this pattern, the yarn and the finished product.
8ply Shetland yarn hand dyed by The Yarn Cafe. The trim is hand dyed solid Treliske organic merino. (Actually was received in The Yarn Collective soaker club) 4mm hook used. 12-18month size.

Pictures just don't do this crocheted kimono justice.

I added more to the 'blanket tree'. Just about 7 more rounds which is about 450grams. Making it over a metre squared.

First food

J was 6 months on Saturday. I had thought brocoli would be a good first food but zuchini may be preferred so I let him choose. Finally I got to use our rice cooker with steamer. Initially J enjoyed playing with the plate! He picked up the brocoli but only sucked on the zuchini. He had a little and was done. He took it well.
I have mixed feelings about him having solids. I am happy for him to have tastes but meals and weaning will be long time coming I hope.

J rocks (6 months)

My littliest boy is 6 months tomorrow!
He can sit up. Roll from front to back and back to front. And has just started to rock back and forth in preparation for crawling. Too bad I am not ready...
