Boris

Some facts about Boris

1 year 4 months
He has got 8 teeth + he's cutting 4 molars
He has started walking at the age of 13 months.

I think I can record the first words in English that Boris is trying to say, they are 'Teddy' and 'baloon' it's just the first syllables like 'ta-da' and 'ba-moo' but I acknowledge the effort!
I've noticed he has his way of naming some objects. He often says 'dyam' if he drops anything, throws it on the floor and if he throws stones into the water. And this happened even before he heard 'drop down', or 'fall down' from me. And now I hear him saying 'dyam' when he sees a ball. He calls a ball 'dyam' :)

This is funny how he walks. It is the period of pushing. He has got the best toy ever, a caterpillar to push infront of him. What do they call such toys, I wonder?
And he likes lifting and carrying the stools in the kitchen. Sometimes he bumps his head on the kitchen table. Oooch! Every time. Poor thing.

I like to see how he gains more and more habits and learns the routines.
"Wash your hands" - and he is already heading the bathroom, trying to roll up his sleeves!
"Let's read a book" - and he tries to reach for a book on the shelf.
He gets his vest to say that he would like to go for a walk, he climbs into the pushchair.
He loves flushing the toilet, he knows how to climb up.
He likes to do things at his height, opens the drawers where I keep the nappys - he gets only one for himself to change! This is lovely!
He knows how we throw away things, he opens the door of the waste bin cupboard.
He plays with the electric swithches sometimes, he can switch the light if he is asked to.
He likes to help with sweeping the floor. But he is still afraid of the vacuum cleaner.

He likes to play with water and his bathtime could last and last for hours. The best enjoyment is to tickle his tongue with the shower. He starts to sing!
