Day 644
1Y 9M 5D |
Nanna came to visit and the boy went wild. He was spinning
round on the floor, rolling over, all in a fit of pure joy.
Nathan's getting cleverer. You ask him what song he's like
to sing, and he choses from "Row Row Your Boat", "Old
MacDonald", or "Three Little Monkeys".

Day 643
1Y 9M 4D |
We went to visit Granny and uncle Adrian. A relaxed
sort of day, but that drive back home at five in the evening means
that Nathan has a nice sleep just before bedtime. He really doesn't
want to wake up when we get home, and he doesn't want to go to
sleep an hour later. |
Sat 10th June
Day 642
1Y 9M 3D |
We went to Woodley Carnival and Nathan picked up not one but
two balloons.
The lad's started requesting particular songs, but only to
those who know what he's talking about. For example, when he
says "Nor nor", He wants the Monkey song.
Three little Monkeys jumping on the bed
One fell off and bumped his head
Mummy phoned the doctor and the doctor said
No more monkeys jumping on the bed.
The "Nor nor" is for "No more"

We went to Sainsbury's in the morning and had a good old shop.
Then we popped along to playgroup and Nathan immersed himself
in cars and Lego (he's still car crazy). Later in the afternoon
we went to a friend's barbecue and Nathan had a go in the paddling
pool (hated it) and in the sandpit (took a while, but ended
up loving it).

Wed 7th June
Day 639
1Y 8M 30D |
We went into Basingstoke today, for dad see the
dentist as well as to do some shopping. We had lunch in a cafe,
the lad munching on some baguette bread. Then Nathan obligingly
fell asleep, and dad did some real shopping. It was a great day
(filling aside). |
Tue 6th June
Day 638
1Y 8M 29D |
We went to playgroup and Nathan played.
Later we phoned Nanna, and the lad had a word with her. Nathan's
taken to spouting 10 or 20 words in a row in what sounds like
a deaf person speaking a foreign language. He's been doing it
for a couple of days, but we wouldn't have noticed but for Nanna
noticing.
Later in the day mum asked Nathan if he'd like to sit on her
lap. The lad held his hands out smiling.
New animal noise is "eek eek" for a mouse.
