We had a lovely day in London with Granny and Grandpa. We all went to a shopping centre, and Nathan enjoyed watching all the goings on.

The latest trick is to (sometimes) respond with a "moo" when asked what noise a cow makes. The lad also responds to the phrase "sock challenge" by immediately taking his socks off. Although he can't say sock, he certainly knows what one is.

Nathan was crawling around the kitchen today when his arms gave way and he came crashing to the floor, mouth first. No lasting damage done, just his first fat lip.

We've decided that the lad is now 75% boy and 25% baby. It's really only drinking milk out of a bottle that's keeping him in baby mode, perhaps.

A nice day, although one of little sleep for the little lad. Nathan did allow his old dad to rest his eyes for a moment while he played on his own in the living room.

The playgroup was enjoyable as ever. Nathan broke into a crawl for the first time at this group.

Jo Jingles today. Nathan did a bit more clapping and maraca shaking than last time.

In the afternoon we went to the physiotherapist. Nathan's crawling more, but he's not made any progress in his techniques. We've got some exercises for next time.

1. Lie the lad on his back and have him roll to his side and push to a sitting position. Not looking forward to this one.

2. Get Nathan to sit with both knees facing the same way. It's an intermediate position between lying and sitting.

3. Straddle Nathan on a leg and encourage him to push himself to standing.

So, let's see what progress we make in three weeks, when we see the physiotherapist again.
