It’s been a while since updating the old blog. Christmas has come and gone and we all had a jolly good time. Jake is now the proud owner of a sonic screwdriver and a tardis. Mias has her own baby pram(thanks bales) and a lovely selection of new clothes.
Mia is now babbling away right on cue and this morning I noticed a fifth tooth poking through. This explains the recent multiple awakenings of Baby M :-). Her cruising is going well. She now pulls herself up and steps sideways to get to her goal. Her goal is usually something she shouldn’t be playing with like a controller or Jake’s school bag.
We have been teaching Mia her body parts. We’ve started with the nose. If I say “Where’s Daddy’s nose” she sometimes will point and say “Dere!”. She also pointed to a banana and said “Nana!” today. I also heard her say “Jake!” properly for the first time.
Jake has been an absolute poppet over the Christmas break. His reading is going brilliantly. I have been telling him Dr Who ‘imaginary stories’ which he loves. The latest one involved The Green Goblin, Spiderman, Dr Who, Amy Pond and of course Jake! We also have the Jakey-dalek which is a half-sized kind dalek which has the ability to change its colour at will.
Amy has got a place in Southbank University to go on her Social Work Masters which is great news. This week she did her entrance exam for the same course at the venerable Goldsmiths University. Fingers-crossed she will get an interview and ultimately a place on the course.
