Look at you go!

Dear Matthew

It's amazing how almost a whole month can go by without me writing to you. 

This month in particular has been busy in more ways that one! While we have been busy attending gymbakids, sign language classes, swimming lessons and catching up with your friends, YOU have been busy acquiring an abundance of new skills!

Since returning from Melbourne, you have learnt to;

1. Crawl on all fours

2. Pull to standing

3. Stand unassisted (sometimes)

4. Cruise along furniture

5. Say a ton of words clearly and often- dad, mum, duck, da (for Soda), pop (when popping-explanation to come) and many more that you're practising (I think you're saying ba for boobie milk but am not sure yet)

6. You're communicating better, such as by pointing, moving your body where you want to go and putting your arm down my top when you want a feed

7. You're imitating people, especially gramps. He does this thing where he puts his finger in his mouth against his inner cheek, closes his lips over it and then pulls it out to make a 'popping sound'. You copy him exactly the way he does it and even make the popping sound (see facebook for the video). You also mimic the clicking noise gramps makes. 

You have really become a lot of fun (not that you weren't before, but the more we can communicate with each other and the more you can move freely, the less frustrated we both are!). 

So happy to not have gone back to work yet as originally planned and have been able to see all of your amazing accomplishments!

Love, 

Mum xxx
