Marmite face

Alex has developed a taste for Marmite. Marmite sandwiches, Marmite on toast and Marmite in mashed veggies.
Unfortunately Marmite is very messy and is like glue once it gets on the floor. For some reason Marmite sandwiches wont stay together but a bit of bread with Marmite on it will require a knife to chisel it off the floor.
Here's Alex being a happy little Marmite (doesn't quite flow as well as Vegemite).

We had the TV on tonight, on a show with a live audience, and every time the audience clapped, Alex did too.
Alex has well and truly mastered the skill of standing up without having to pull up on something so now when he has a spill he can get up without having to crawl his way to the nearest piece of furniture (or adult). It is so nice to see him this mobile, even if it's exhausting.
Today he expanded his mobility to include an extra dimension. Yep he went up. He still can't reach to climb onto the sofa but he found his way up onto the lounge chair over and over again today. Not to sit on though, he wanted to stand on it. Unfortunately he thinks he can go from standing on the chair to the floor in one step, head first. We have to teach him to sit first and climb off feet first. Still it's exciting to see him finally climbing on the furniture. Not that I want him climbing on the furniture but it's another natural development step he has reached.

No photos of furniture climbing, I was too busy catching him :) but here's more photos from the beach.
