He’s ten months old today, and I thought it was time for a little update on Simon. No height or weight measurements though, as we haven’t got round to working out how the clinic works here yet, but I’m hoping to be able to take him next week.
He has now cut 5 teeth, and with very little grizzling at all. He did seem happier once the two top ones came through, but we also think he’s got more used to being here at college, and instead of just observing everything with his big brown eyes, he will now smile at people and shout out to get their attention! He has his fair share of admirers here, and seems to love being in the social environment of the nursery.
He still likes playing on the floor, but absolutely loves being upright, holding onto furniture and slowly making his way around the room. He hasn’t worked out how to pull himself up or sit himself down again though, but he knows how to make sure his parents know what he wants! He does occasionally go down with a bang, but another advantage of cloth nappies are that they pad his bottom better than disposables would!
He is making more and more extensive range of different sounds, and some do seem to have a kind of meaning or at least correspond to his state of mind. “Mumumumumum” means “I want something”, whereas “bababa” or “dadada” mean “I’m in a good mood”.
He eats a lot of the same things as us, with particular favourites being steamed courgette, chicken and banana. He has unfortunately started pulling his hands through his (luckily still very short) hair during meals, especially if the meal comes just after bathtime!
He is also showing signs of enjoying music, and will often “dance” to music or singing, as this video and this one show.
In the words of one of the nursery workers here, “he’s just such a happy and contented child!”.
