Hello all - my computer has been broken for weeks, sob, sob, the day after I boasted on some thread about how wonderful it was as well!
Anyway, I haven't really had a chance to do a proper catch-up, except I see Swiperfox is back (hello!), Scott finally gets a tooth (yay) and Zebra has changed her name or has several other names????
Ds has changed so much since I last posted, and a lot of it happened in the space of a week so here's a little snapshot of him:
He now does classic crawling and can really motor. He is also a superfast cruiser who has been practising his free-standing more and more but is covered in so many bruises on his forehead that I am surprised social services has not been called in.
His favourite activities, apart from touching everything and always trying to escape from the living-room once he sights a chink in the door, is pointing and saying 'dere' and other weird speech-like babble.
He loves books (hooray) and also trying to stack things and put objects into boxes, shape-sorters, open mouths etc.
He still shrieks a lot, something which was getting me so depressed a few weeks ago cos he's so loud and persistent, but it is getting better (unless he is in his highchair or in his buggy and I stop and don't take him out).
He is still a human dustbin but is getting slightly more fussy. This could be because I am now offering him such a wide range of food. He never really rejects, justs has a few mouthfuls and then clamps up if he doesn't really like it (salmon for one - not much more to be honest).
Any and all music makes him stop what he is doing and listen in rapture for a while.
My experience is also completely different from dd1. Ds is far more independent and adventurous, and getting into everything so I will have to retrain myself about safety and child-proofing my home, something I am finding impossible with mischievous (sp??) pre-schooler around.
I know, I know, enough already but haven't posted anywhere for weeks so please excuse slight self-indulgence.
