Jakles has been a delight this weekend. He has been smiling and laughing when he flaps his lips and generally on good form. He is gurning a lot which leads us to believe that a tooth will be making an appearance soon. That will make it 14. Ames says that one of the canines is already through. His vocabulary is increasing. He says ‘gee-dor’ for doggy which is rather strange. When I ask him is he wants to go to the heap he says ‘blicker-blicker-blicker-blicker’ which is the sounds of the parakeets that fly from next door’s bird feeder when we walk past! For melon and any dessert he says ‘mamome’. His climbing antics are continuing as well as the odd little tantrum. These are quite amusing as he flaps his arms about wildly and bellows :-). In recent days he has been having lot’ of sleeps. Most mornings he wakes at around 8am. Yesterday it was nearly 9am! His poor nappy was soaked through so it was surprising this didn’t get him up sooner. We will need to invest in new wraps as the poppers are beginning to weaken and can spring open with vigorous movement.
