Nanna came today. She commented how much more the lad was standing up than before.

Nathan had a good day, but did suffer a little with his teeth. The lad's now got all his upper teeth except for the two number one molars, and all his lower teeth except for his canines and the two number one molars.

Today we met up with an an aunt and other assorted relatives at Odds Park Farm.

We all had a lovely time. Nathan's not as exitable about the animals as he was on our first trip to the farm, but he's now old enough to have a go on the toy tractors and "Flintstone" cars that they have in abundance there. He was tired, dirty and happy.

Nathan was in the best of moods today. We didn't do much today, apart from pop down to the local Woodley shopping centre to watch all the kids play on the bouncy castle, and play with the "springy" toys in the centre there.

Nathan did lots of cruising, and lots of eating as well. After ten days of this we're starting to get used to it.

Granny came to visit and mum and dad went to a restaurant for lunch. Lovely.

The lad's standing and cruising skills continue to improve daily. Today Nathan managed to prop himself up By leaning his bottom against the edge of the sofa. With both hands free, he helped us to clap his achievement.

We all took a trip to the local busy road where Nathan instructed us on which vehicle was a car, truck, or van.

Then onto Dad's group (running a bit short of dads today - just two). Nathan was more outgoing than normal, he even tried, unsuccessfully, to take a toy from a four year old.

Today we went to Legoland. At £18 a head (Nathan was free) entry was a bit painful, but we had a lot of fun. Nathan particularly liked a quartet of robot musicians playing slowed down rock and roll, and also the miniatures of scenes from the UK, especially the ones with working trains, boats, buses and cars in.

He stood for longer than he's ever done before and watched the scenes with a look of joy on his face.

Dad went off to see a friend and Mum took the lad to toddler group. She walked Nathan a few steps. It's something about all the other kids doing their stuff around and about that seems to inspire him.
