baby wayne

Hello!

Apologies, dear reader, for our absence from blogland; a terrible cold has passed through babywayne headquarters, and we have only just emerged from the fog of mucous. In this time a number of exciting things have happened – Otis has some new skills.

As Napoleon Dynamite says, ‘Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills’ and we are keen to develop his repertoire.

#1 skill – Otis waves hello

To begin with Otis’ waving didn’t seem to bear any relation to the situation or circumstance; he would just flail his arm about when it suited him. Then, one day reading Maisy (oh how he’s crazy for Maisy – but that’s another post) he lifted up a flap, under which was Maisy’s panda. I said ‘Hello, Panda’, and Otis started waving! Now Otis loves to wave hello and goodbye to friends, family and strangers alike.

#2 skill – Otis crawls; well, sort of

In the last few days, Otis has started to crawl. He’s just starting out, so its more like dragging his legs along, than crawling, but he still manages to get around, albeit very slowly. Now that he’s capable of independent movement, it’s a whole new world, for all of us. Cupboards, shelves, and washing baskets that were previously out of reach are now fair targets, and Otis takes great delight in reaching into them, and leaving a trail of debris behind him. Luckily, we bought a baby gate on ebay a while ago, and it lies in wait, ready to be installed once Otis starts seriously motoring.
