The stats…he just keeps on growing…as all babies do!
Weight – 12kg (90th percentile) and Height 82cm (off the charts!)
This last month Magnus has very quickly gone from just learning to stand on his own to walking! He started walking around furniture early Jan, could stand himself up unassisted and stand for about 20seconds on the 11th of Jan and could easily walk along holding our hand in mid Jan. On the 19th of Jan he took his first step and on the first of Feb took 10 very wobbly steps. Today his record is 20 steps! If you stand him on his feet he takes off and wants to run, so he only gets a few quick steps in before he falls on his face. But when he stands, steadys himself and takes slow steps he walks really well! But he still prefers crawling and is super fast. He’s also adapted his crawling style to bum in the air and hands and feet on the ground, so he doesn’t hurt his knees on rough surfaces and can still go fast.
Magnus makes lots of sounds and talks away non stop to his little duckie in bed. He can say uh oh and brooom brooom! I’m sure he’s trying to say lots of other things but we are just not that good at interpreting yet! He points at everything and definitely knows how to get you to go where he wants to go. He’s got all the switches sussed and tries to get plugs into the wall sockets. He is also pretty good at shapes – when you show him where the shape goes. He can now blow kisses which is just the cutest!
Magnus definitely has a thing for trains (it runs in the Cameron family!) and loves when we’re in the car and have to stop at the train tracks with the bells going and the train going past. We went on our first real train ride last Saturday and he was fascinated by the loud noise and movement. We have been making the most of summer enjoying evening swims and all the summer fruit – blueberries are definitely Magnus’ favourite.
We have been blessed with a great little sleeper who still has 2 big sleeps during the day, sometimes up to 5 hours, as well as sleeping 11 hours overnight! So life is all good when you get a good night’s sleep…we’ll enjoy that for the next 4 months anyway and then all will change again!
We had our 20 week scan last week and are pleased to announce…we have another little BOY on the way! Yay…brothers!
Enjoy the pics of our baby…that’s the last time I can say Magnus is a baby because next month he’ll officially be a toddler! Lots of love and hugs from Keryn, Marissa, Magnus and boy bump! xoxoxoxo
This one is to show off the muscles!!! Just like his Dad (according to Keryn)
