What he does now:

walks, has moved from Frankenstein lurching walk to fast walking, still quite a few falls, but what graceful falls..

when asked 'where's your tummy?' he slaps his belly, most cute when he is in the bath so you can see the full roundness of his dimensions.

points at the light, even if we just mention the word in conversation.

has made up his own sign for 'finished' - basically washing his hands.

is really into the breast and grabs at my shirt to get at the goods - unfortunately just as my return-to-work is looming.

is still obsessed with Hello Kitty ( a plastic mechanical toy that skips rope) but slightly less so.

throws the remote on the floor so that the battery case falls off, then throws it again so that the batteries fall out.

tries to open every possible kind of container -shampoo, pot, tupperware, lotion, his bottles.

is starting to get very stroppy when he can't get his own way.

likes to try to hold three spoons, his bottle and feed himself with his hand, all at the same time.
