Well the rain has subsided and a large yellow blob has appeared in the sky. I’m not sure what it is but it feels good.
Amy has successfully weaned Jake off the dummy during the day. I don’t know whether it is a coincidence but Jake’s vocabulary is really gaining pace now. He can copy most words although he tends to take the beginning and end of a word and put those together to form his unique version. For instance, guitar is gar, jacket is jit. Yesterday he pointed to a picture of a bee and said BEEEE!! which was very cute.
We think he is maybe having a growth spurt because he is ravenous at the moment and a little short tempered.
He has also started climbing things. He now climbs onto the foot stool and rocks it back and forth. Today I caught him climbing onto his fire station in order to get on top of the sofa. Surely a recipe for disaster. He managed to clamber up after a few unsuccessful attempts and when he did, he looked very proud and gave me a cheeky grin. What an angel!
Jake wants to write something. Here it is :

Jake’s hair has grown very big and bouffant so a hair cut is due soon. We won’t go to granny this time. 😉
This morning I had an excellent ride to Clapham Junction. The sun was out and there was only a slight wind. Paul gave me some SPD pedals which I fitted at the weekend. 
I had been bidding on ebay for some but lost the bid. When Paul came over on Thursday he said he had a spare pair. Job done! I have ordered some proper cycling shoes from wiggle as I have been using my trainers and the bottoms are getting torn from the SPD mechanism. The resin cage makes for a slightly more comfortable ride than a cageless design when riding with normal shoes but nonetheless after a few miles the old feet start to get a little sore. I am hoping that these will arrive today :-).
