Happy Birthday William!
You can just about make out 'William' in dried fruit. That's all William would eat off his birthday cake! we haven't given him cake yet so he was a little cautious!
Last Sunday he turned 1. A WHOLE YEAR OLD.
He is strong willed and independent. I worry for the future how many battles we will have....and how many he'll win!!
He often wont let you hold his hand when walking, he wont let you feed him unless he is holding a spoon also within reach of the bowl so he can try and feed himself (very messy). He would rather walk up the stairs with out me behind him, but there is no compromise with this one! He persists until he gets the shape in right with those shape jigsaw things. He (and this one hurts) pushes away from me to get into his cot, no longer will he get sleepy in my arms and let me cuddle him for a bit longer! He shouts with his hands in the air when he wants something and knows things from packets are more exciting food! He fights me off when ever i try to change his nappy...i always win this battle but usually through creative means!
more things he does:
holds the phone up to his ear and pretends to talk,
turns the pages of the book and pretends to read,
copies me when i do my work out DVD- bounces during the squats, lies down with his legs in the air during the floor work, picks up his blocks when i am using the weights!! i love this!
He loves helping us do the laundry, especially shutting the doors, draws and knows what buttons to press on washer/dryer's.He also helps empty the dishwasher and puts things in the bin.
If he finds a cloth he wipes it around.
He sits on his bus and indicates for us to push him...and as we do he goes 'oooh ooooh' like choochoo (train) or 'eeeeeee' like weeeeeeeee!
He plays 'peek-a-boo' when he comes across a curtain or anything that he can hold over his face, is VERY ticklish and loves anything which appears like a game of chase! even if its not he turns it into one!
He loves escaping and going to visit Daddy in his office/shed.
He pushes his cars around the floor, he LOVES music and musical instruments,
He's starting to follow directions quite well and when i dress him, he goes and picks out a pair of socks with out me even telling him to now!.......i ought to nip this in the bud because I'm guessing this is getting boringly long for anyone outside of the family.
What he says:
'wa wa wa' = quack quack quack
'duck' =duck
'duck' = book
'ar' = car
'mumma' = muma
'dada'= dada.
BUT he will not perform on demand! he wont do it if you tell him too!
Iv also started taking him to sing and sign and he's starting to use some of the signs. Its helping with that intense, 'incredible hulk' style, shout he does!
