Every nappy change now, Mum is putting cream on my knees. They are so red and sore! My knee-saving technique didn't last long because I realised that I can crawl faster if I get up on my knees more. I still have a rest on my tummy between 'steps' but I'm definitely on my knees more.

I'm spending more time sitting upright to play with my toys. I like this position a lot, provided there is something soft behind me if I fall over. I fell straight back yesterday, and there was nothing to soften my fall. I got such a shock and wailed for a long time. I like to sit with my back to Oskar's couch, as long as he is not trying to clamber all over me and yank the toys out of my hands.

My mouth has been so sore over the last week. Dad has given me this sticky, sweet goopy stuff that makes me feel much better soon after. I've had panadol before, but that wasn't helping, so I'm happy with this new stuff.

I nearly insisted on some more earlier this morning, but not because of my mouth. I was motoring along the floor and was just behind my high-chair when Oskar rode past on his tricycle. The back wheel clipped the high-chair and tipped it over - right on top of me! It knocked me flat and pinned my head to the floor. I was only there for about a second because Mum came swooping over to rescue me. I screamed into her shoulder and sooked for a long time after that. I only forgot about it once I got into the chair and had some banana and avocado.
