Had Liam's 8 month appointment today. He's hitting all his developmental milestones, so that's good. His growth curves are plateauing greatly though - he's only put on 300g in the past 6 weeks and only 1.5cm. I mean, that puts him at an average 8.6kg and 69cm long, but he used to be so big for his age!

I was really hoping he'd take after Adam for height. Adam's what.. 187cm tall? I'm 158cm on a good day.

Liam's *really* close to crawling. He gets up on all fours and he pushes off with his knees/feet. But doesn't move his arms. So he doesn't go anywhere and he's *so* frustrated, the poor boy. After a few minutes of it he cries :( I don't know if I'm supposed to be helping him, or even if I can! Sometimes he looks like he's crouch starting the 100m sprint and just when he launches he doesn't move his arms and... nothing.

Some of the other kids in Mother's Group are commando crawling but I don't think Liam is going to do that judging by the fact he is almost always on his knees if he's belly down. We went to Storytime today but Liam wasn't interested even though we sang all his favourite songs, he just wanted to be on the floor not-crawling.

I have a Day in the Life entry from like a month ago that I still haven't posted, I really should do that.

Check this facebook status I got on my feed the other day regarding Rupert Murdoch: "Such an old man who has done much good for western media over his lifetime and this is the reward he gets." This is one of my best friend's husband, a very bright successful man. We never ever agree on ANYTHING. He's constantly hating on socialist sorts of things and I'm constantly 'YOU CHECK YOUR PRIVILEGE' and he's all 'PEOPLE SHOULD JUST SHUT UP AND WORK HARDER'. And then I drop it because it's not worth it, really.

Here is a photo of Liam going 'Uh oh. She's caught me. Quick, pretend I'm not about to put this yucky dirty chain in my mouth!'

Dear Nicole Scherzinger, you are a talented singer and have a lovely voice. You really do. Rihanna, she sings with that accent because she's from Barbados. You, you're from Kentucky. You don't have to sing like her.. You really don't. I'm pretty sure they don't pronounce 'body' as 'baddy' in Kentucky. Nor do they say 'me likey'. I'm sorry you aren't as successful as a solo artist as you were when you were a solo artist with 5 backup singers dancers, but thems the breaks.

Dear Christina Aguilera, you are also a talented singer and have a lovely voice. But when a song is light and funky and upbeat, try and not be such a deadweight when you're the guest on the song? The song's like fairy floss (cotton candy?) and when you start singing it moves like molasses. Whyyyyyyyyyy

Dear Beyonce, talented singer, tick, lovely voice, tick, but do you remember when you didn't belt every song out at the top of your lungs? It was a good time. Light and shade. Those Idol judges know something sometimes. Light and shade. Also, there's decorative bras that people like Madonna and Gaga wear for their video clips, and then there's just actual lingerie that you're wearing.. Sure, if I had a body like yours, I'd flaunt it too, but you're really just.. wearing your underwear for no reason.

Anyway, here are some links!

Some links: The History of Rap, rapped by Justin Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon. It's missing Eminem, but still amazing. Why aren't you making new music Justin?

90s Dance A Capella Medley I'm a sucker for A Capella, and any A Capella that has 'I'm the Scatman' in it has to be a winner. The faces are hilarious.

Dear oohasparklie sorry I missed your birthday, I'm glad you had a good one! (I actually typed in Dreagonfli instead of oohasparklie, isn't that bizarre?)

Here's a picture that no one ever explained to me, I was hoping you could?

eta: holy crap the photo is big. Tumblr always resizes!!!! It's a photo of some actors.

Some guy wants a trailer boat and caravan for free. And I don't know about that 14 year old boy thing.... now that I think about it, maybe Department of Human Services should give that number a call :(
