Baby D is learning new tricks with each passing day. Of considerable trepidation to his mommy is his latest skill - you leave him at a ninety degree angle for about a couple of minutes and rush off to make his milk bottle. By the time you return, he's managed to get himself to a hundred and eighty degrees and this when he's not yet learnt to roll! Mommy D can't sleep peacefully at night wondering what will happen if he tries to pull this in his cradle which is much longer than it is wide!
There are boys that grow up into the strong silent types. Well, Baby D may grow up to be strong, but definitely not silent. To put it baldly, he's become an extremely garrulous baby. He talks to the TV, to Mr Spots, to the furniture, to himself, and to anyone who comes visiting. There's no situation in which Baby D is silent - ever. His decibel levels are becoming powerful by the day and he isn't afraid to voice his opinion in the strongest of terms.
Daddy D, as is his wont, was doing office stuff on his laptop late into the evening. Baby D waited patiently hoping that he'd be entertained shortly. After about five minutes he made his displeasure known in a few well chosen words ( very different from crying, these were more like annoyed babbles). When Daddy D thought he could get away with an absent minded pat and coo, Baby D decided to grab his sleeve, and tug hard, grumbling all the while, until Daddy D had no choice but to abandon the laptop. Round 2 to Baby D. (Baby D won the last round)
Baby D's interests are expanding too. He still loves his toys - Mr Rattlesworth, who has just had new batteries installed into him, has been greeted by loud happy gurgles of approval. Mr Spots has a rather special place in Baby D's heart - he manages to link his arm into Mr Spots', lift him right off the bed and then chew away at his feet. He now looks like he might take an interest in reading too. Previously, Mommy D had been quite in despair as her attempts to get him interested in his "Goodnight Moon" cloth book were met with nothing more than loud bored yawns. Thanks to nani, Baby D has paid the ultimate compliment to his book - he has tried to eat it!
And so Baby D marches on. Mommy D is meanwhile somewhat unnerved at being supplanted on the popularity charts by a stuffed toy giraffe.
