The parsnip kid

Charlie has been progressing in many ways again recently. He is now really enjoying his solid food - consuming rice, sweet potato, parsnip, carrot and pears, sometimes all for one meal!

He has been babbling quite a lot too and has a really lovely little voice, even when it's at 5.30am.

He has also started propping himself up on his arms and quite enjoys looking around from a different perspective.

He has started going to a new baby group where they sing songs and play musical instruments. All the other babies get grumpy half way through, but Charlie keeps on laughing all the way to the end (and beyond). He's getting the hang of swimming now and has started splashing instead of sitting quietly.
