In the order I remember it in :P
When Josh had gone off on one of
his site visits, Tao got hold of my mobile and toddled off, holding the
phone behind his head (coz that's how you talk on the phone) and said
"Daddy?" I would have called Josh but he was in the site visit at the
time :)
Tao brought me the phone catalogue he'd been looking at.
I told him it was a phone catalogue. He pointed to a photo of an odd
looking mobile, I told him it was a phone. He walked off with the
catalogue to his ear.
I saw Tao run off behind the futon with his
cricket bat, then duck down and look under the cat scratching post box
behind the futon. A bit later he starrted stabbing the cricket bat
around under it. I figured maybe he was just trying to post the cricket
bat. He checked again, then stabbed again. I wondered, what the hell
is he doing? A bit later I saw a tennis ball pop out from under the cat
box O_O
Cute Stuff
Aww he's growing up
Haven't posted for a month. Okay, so it's been a combination of me
being slack, me doing other things and me running after a very
intelligent and very curious little monkeyrat :)
Tao's managed to
work out his Tupperware shape sorter, though he can only handle 3-4
shapes out at a time to put back in, if you take all of them out he gets
all happy and scatters them to the far reaches of the room. If he
can't figure out where a shape goes, he tries the next best match, or
just shoves it where it will fit on the off chance it goes in (which it
never does).
The Day Approaches
In nine days, Josh and I will have been parents for a whole year o_O
As
expected, the little one has been keeping me on my toes. Not a bad
thing really, and I've been enjoying it so far, in spite of people
telling me how much I'm going to have to watch out etc. He toddles
around oh so cutely with his arms out for balance in stereotypical baby
fashion. His favourite games are peekaboo and to toddle at me as fast
as he can with his arms stretched out and collapse giggling into my arms
:)
Nup!
[imported from livejournal and backdated]
Josh and Tao were in the shower earlier when I heard Josh laughing
loudly, and yelling for me. I went in there to see what was so funny
(plus I was going to jump in there soon anyway). Apparently Josh had
been wanting to wash his hair, so he asked Tao if it was all right if he
put him down. Tao had looked Josh in the eye, shaken his head and said
"Nup!"
He didn't want to do it for me, but he did shake his head
a few times in there, probably because we were horribly amused by it.
Tried to get him to nod and associate it with "yes". He did attempt the
nod, and headbutted me.
Still cute :)
