21 months update

It has been a while since we blogged what Andrew is up to so I thought I'd better.





Andrew seems to have grown up a lot in the last few months.





While he still doesn't have heaps of understandable words that he says spontaneously, he loves to yabber away, and will copy what you say lots. His comprehension is pretty good most of the time. If he is in the mood he will follow simple instructions like "go and put this in the bathroom". If you say "lets go out" he starts looking for shoes and will bring you a pair if he can find them. Often they are behind closed doors.





He likes to play at his friend Aleesha's house. A few weeks ago I drove down their drive to discover I couldn't park down there so had to turn around and go and park on the road. He got upset that we weren't going to Aleesha's house.





He is better about being left with other people and not so clingy to mummy. Which is a relief for mummy.





We talk lots about we are going to have another baby but I am not sure how much he really understands about that. He does like to lift up mummy's top and poke baby.





He is doing lots more walking and can now walk from our car to the house or vice versa. For those who haven't been to our house. There is a steepish slope down to our car from the steps. This is great on mummy's back.





He still likes his sleep and sleeps about 12-13 hours most nights and 2-3 hours most afternoons. he is a good eater. He has gotten over whatever was causing him to not eat dinner back in November and December. He discovered stone fruit this summer but stills thinks that bananas are essentially for a balance diet.





We get some temper tatrums but he isn't too bad.





This term we are involved in playcentre, Church mum's group, antenatal group and a council run music and movement programme.





Now I'll post this, and send some photos later.
