All Change

There have been some pretty major changes in my life recently.

1) Nappies. It's not much fun teething you know. I have had a nasty rash down below (ahem) for some time, so my parents are trying something new. They are a new take on something that Daddy used to wear when he was my age - cloth nappies. These things have a name - Fuzzi Bunz - and look not totally unlike the sort of thing Mr. Michael Mouse Esq. used to wear back in the 1930s. They have helped my rash and are very comfortable to wear.

Compare the red nappy with Mickey's shorts. H'mm. (Right) Our model Giulia is wearing a lovely Fuzzi Bunz nappy in snowdrop.

2) Milky. Once upon a time, milky came from Mamma. Now it comes from a bottle. It's a bit of an acquired taste, but you get used to it. Secretly Daddy likes it too!

Harriet Houdini or Edwina Hillary?

I'm getting pretty agile now. I'm not sure if I am an escapologist or a mountain climber, but both seem lots of fun. Here's some photographic evidence.

			Phew... Made it to the top of Mount Fluffipillo. Now where did I leave my flag?

Why My Parents Think It's All Worthwhile

My parents have managed to get a photograph of me smiling showing my little white teeth!

Every day I give Mamma and Daddy a moment to treasure so they will forgive me for all the pooey nappies, posset and crying. Today (8th July 2005) they caught that moment on camera. I think I excelled myself, don't you?

I DO NOT HAVE AN ANGER MANAGEMENT PROBLEM!!!!

Teething is still causing me a lot of problems. The teeth growing out of my gums hurt, as well as the ones underneath that will be emerging next month. As you might imagine with these aching teeth, drinking milky out of the bottle has become a tad uncomfortable. Every bottle feed is now a battle of wills between me and the respective on-duty parent. I rarely win.

My yelling has become more speech-like too. Before, I would simply scream 'Waaaaaaaahhhhh!' at high volume whenever I felt the need. Now, my parents are treated to a cavalcade of angry babbling. Hearing 'Ma ma ma da da da da waaaahh!' at ear-splitting volume was entertaining at first for my parents, but I think the novelty has worn off now.

Daddy will put a recording of this online when Mamma manages to get me close enough to a microphone when I'm in a suitably foul mood.

The Menu At Chez Giulia

Before I started on solids, my parent tried some of the shop-made baby foods that come in baby jars. To be frank, the majority where absolutely awful (mentioning no names). Instead I have been treated to home cooked vegetable and fruit purees, lovingly cooked by my Mamma and Daddy. They think that my food is delicious; for me the jury is still out.

My Nonno Gary sent me a care package from Italy this month. Inside were a large number of Italian-branded baby food jars (really rather tasty!), plus several boxes of baby pastas and nappy cream. Thank you!

Photos From July 2005

Small problem, don't you know. My parents' digital camera is currently under repair (nothing to do with me by the way) so there may not be any more photos this month. Normal service will be resumed next month.
