Lenny has finally started to say “mum, mum, mum”!
Okay, so he only says it when he’s tired or grumpy and sometimes it’s just a “mmmmm” between tears but after weeks of “dad, dad, dad” I’ll take it anyway I can.
His chatter has become very expressive this week. Lots more changes in pitch and tone. It’s like he’s having a conversation with you using the same sound in a dozen different ways.
The other big news is he moved backwards while down on his tummy! It was a pretty minor move physically but it’s a major step on his way to getting mobile.
It won’t be too long before we need to start thinking about what we leave where – no more hot tea on the coffee table or pens or scissors lying around.
I always thought a lot of the childproofing that goes on was excessive. Perhaps this is another area where I will be eating my words?
