Leaps and Bounds

Mummy has been very busy for the last few weeks - what with Christmas, Birthdays (Nanna, Daddy) and job interviews, and feels sorry she has neglected her Blog. However, because of the holidays Daddy has been able to spoil Jamie with his time, and Jamie suddenly seems to be changing. His vocabulary grows every day and its nearly possible to have a conversation with him. He can point out most things you ask him and name quite a few things himself. We were given a book from Surestart which names all the facial features and Jamie loves pointing and saying; 'Nose', 'Eyes'. A recent addition has been 'flowver' which I think is his first 2 syllable word. There is also Teddy...

Toys which have been ignored for a while have suddenly become more popular and it is fascinating to see his grasp of the stacking cups over the last few nights. Stacking them up and then putting them back inside themselves. Jamie has been doing this over and over..... Cars and people now seem to be being played with as they should be - although they are still being thrown about and posted through any available orifice!

His Christmas presents - drum kit from Uncle Finny and Easel from Nanna - both of which he loves - have taken up residence in his bedroom (we don't have a conservatory like other families) and due to Daddy starting nights this week we have moved the old sofa bed out of his room and into the garage. We will soon be needing to buy Jamie his own bed and a wardrobe for his clothes (but mummy needs a job first!).

The only drawback with Daddy having time off is that Jamie's sleep pattern was a bit disrupted as he would rather be playing than going to bed. We also felt he was being a bit clingy but visiting Nicola and Will this weekend we find they had the same problem. Our play date on Friday was brilliant and Jamie and Will actually seemed to be 'playing'. My little baby is becoming a little boy!!
