I can now wave! Waving is as much fun as clapping hands, even more so because whoever sees me waves back. I like the one-handed wave to wave at Mum and Dad, but the two handed wave is useful too. When I get frustrated I waggle both hands in the air and call out, 'Nnnnnngggggg'.

What gets me most annoyed is when Mum tries to get whatever I've carefully put in my mouth out again. Yesterday I had the nicest time on the grass in Granny's backyard. I explored the grass and examined the leaves and of course wanted to taste them too. But everytime I got one in my mouth Mum swooped over and scooped it out. If I see her coming I can delay the process with my two handed waggle, but she inevitably gets to me somehow. It's very frustrating.

I'm enjoying feeding myself more. At lunchtime I munch on a corn cake with cashew spread. I love to lick the nut spread off and then suck and chew on the corn cake. Bread with avocado is yummy too. Each dinner I snack on an array of vegies, usually carrot, sweet potato, broccoli, snow peas and beans. I can't admit to swallowing very much of them, but I have fun exploring the textures and different flavours, and mushing them over my tray.

I've been having some salmon over the last week. When Mum first gave it to me I hated it and tried to scoop it out of my mouth. But she kept putting it on my tray and I kept forgetting which food it was that I didn't like, and so kept putting it back in my mouth. Now I actually don't mind it. Just as long as she doesn't mush it up with broccoli and avocado again.

Last night I got to try some of Mum's dinner: some sung chai bao that Daddy had made. It was delicious and I wished she'd given me more. I also tried the tofu but wasn't so impressed by that. I really liked the risotto they had for dinner a few days ago - I had it for dinner the next day and lunch the day after that. I munched on a sausage that Oskar didn't eat for dinner and thought that it was okay, but I didn't think too much of the chicken that Oskar didn't eat. It was too tough for me. I'm getting quite a lot of Oskar's rejected food, but I'm happy with that.

I had a really nice time playing with Oskar a few days ago. He, Mum and I rolled balls all around the floor. I tried to catch any that came near me and then sucked on them. Oskar sometimes snatched the balls off me, but then he'd find me another one and bring it over, which was nice of him.

We also have great fun together in the bath. We both play with toys and chat away. Oskar got in the bath first yesterday so I stood next to the bath and watched him. He kept putting bubbles on my face and when Mum poked her head around, he told her, 'Look, Jazzie's got a beard'. Mum left again so he resumed covering me with bubbles. When Mum came back I could just see through two little gaps in all the froth. But Oskar was happy and smiling so I was happy too. Mum did wipe the bubbles off for me though - I was pretty drippy after that and soon joined him in the water.
