Words! & the newbie.

New on our list of Tim's words are


Sooes (shoes)
wa-wer (water / drink)
upum (pick me up mum - not said independently, just after I've asked him if he wants to be picked up)

These are of course added to the favourites

Da da da da (that Mummy gets to hear quite frequently when Daddy is at work)
Mum mum mum (that Daddy gets to hear frequently if Mummy is strangely out of sight)

That's about all we've picked up so far. Tim did say something whilst pointing at his dummy this morning... but I need to listen more carefully as I couldn't pick out his sounds very well.


As for the newbie... he is giving every indication that he is as active (and possibly more so) than Tim. Gives good kicks at night and when there's music at church.

On the pregnancy front we have the dreaded GTT on Friday, with luck we'll get a negative result (which will be a positive experience) likely only to have to repeat the experience in a month or so "just in case". Fingers crossed everyone!

Not on the list of development milestones!

Oh how I wish I had a video camera !

Friday night Tim was running around like a mad thing... from the wall on one side of the piano to the other and back again... oh a dozen times.

After a good laugh and wondering what our weird kid was doing we realised that he was making contact with his shadow each time.

He repeated the process the next night... this time going to all the bare walls and touching his shadow... then mine.

I did think I saw him looking for it on Sunday but it was very overcast during the day and I'm not sure he found what he was looking for.
