ds is 9 months in a few days time and is combat kamikazee crawler and cruiser and stand up sit downer. it is utterly delightful and completely exhausting. lots of d-d-d-d b-b-b-b but no words yet, am v envious of lisalisa's dd saying mama and dada .
only interested in self-feeding. i can get some lumpy mush in between him putting bread or peas in his mouth. loves fruit (any fruit). likes liver (!) almost anything mixed with sweet potato, wholemeal bread and butter (NOT hummus mummy, no way), cheese (!), avocado, mint tea (!).
can take or leave his food, wish he was a food lover, but he is v perfunctory about feeding, go go go whilst hungry and then spits it out/throws it when finished...doesn't seem to take any pleasure in food (probably much more healthy than his food adoring mother).
still doing a lot of joyous shreiking especially in the supermarket or in the abbey we took him to on the weekend (groovy echo mummy).
he is adorable. went through really bad phase of him waking between 5.30 and 6.30, but fingers very crossed we seem to be back on track and he sleeps from 7pm to 7ish am (7.25 this morning, a world record that i'm still reeling from). you have to work hard and earn his giggle which makes it the best sound in the world when he does. he is quite a serious chap, so when there is a peal of laughter it lights up my world. actually he lights up my world pretty much all the time, even when he is being awful
sorry for gushing, but, you know, if not here, then where?
