Feeding

Tom is well into telling us what he wants now. His favourite word is of course 'no', and he is perfecting his pointing techniques with a little squeeling thrown in. He has also started feeding himself. He finally has his high-chair and loves to sit at the table and pick up his spoon and cover himself in dinner/lunch/breakie. He also loves to try and get into the fridge but as yet he isn't strong enough (thank goodness).

He is loving going up and down the stairs. Have decided not to get a safety gate as he has mastered sliding backwards on his tummy. And thinks it is wonderful that he can run the length of the house from toy room to living and upstairs to heis bedroom. Sure wears him out.

Bah

Tom's favourite sound is 'b'. He loves to say Boo (but says Bah), and hide under his blankie or around the corner. His favourite nursery rhyme is Ba Ba Black sheep, and I guess we could work on 'Bah Humbug' as it is nearly christmas!

He hasn't been well lately - catching all the viruses from childcare - but at least his immune system is building up. I wish he could get back into some regular sleep pattern though as the night waking is killing me again.

He is also loving finding out new things - especially what goes/fits where. He loves to put things in things, especially balls. Maybe an engineer in the making? :)

And the picture is of the lovely Evie at her 2nd birthday party - Tom had a ball climbing, riding and jumping in her garden.
