Baby D is quite a grown baby now with a very definite personality, mannerisms, likes and dislikes and moods and ways. For one, he wants everything Daddy D has. Daddy D never is able to keep his glasses on if Baby D is in the vicinity. After multiple days of saying "no no", "bad", "dangerous" in all its variants, scolding and explaining, Daddy D has surrendered to a state of perpetual blurriness. He's even been known to offer his glasses as bribe, "here Baby D come get my glasses, but lie still so we can diaper you".
If Baby D has one virtue, it'd be persistence. He goes at something, until we drop the cause in sheer exhaustion! So Baby D now happily eats away at slippers, barring the weak "No Baby D, dirty, please, really dirty". He also bats away gleefully at the mac as and when he pleases. Daddy D had offered him the ipad as an alternative, but Baby D, naturally was having none of that. Eventually Daddy D threw in the towel and Baby D has been known to type away, open chrome, register for online courses, sit on the computer and so forth. The last bastion that needs to be conquered is for Baby D to be allowed to open the mac cover in the reverse, and something suggests Daddy D would stand firm on that.
And so Baby D crawls around the house at top speed, making new discoveries, exploring and destroying at will. Mommy D spends most of her time at home on all fours, chasing around Baby D, to limit damages and to save him from the consequences of his somewhat reckless decisions.
In his more manageable moments, Baby D is turning out to be quite an affectionate person. He gives Mommy D a tight little hug when she returns from work and sometimes he hugs her just because, and sometimes because he likes it that she's jamming with him. He has also learnt to kiss and his kisses are naturally reserved for Mommy D. Mommy D wishes he'd remain this demonstrative when he's all grown up, but she does wish he wouldn't cry when she leaves for work!
Baby D is quite a thrill seeker too. He looks to Daddy D to give him a ride on his shoulders and to bounce and toss him around. His appeals and requests can come at any time, especially when Daddy D is driving and not really in a position to comply.
A budding book lover, his favourite at the moment is "Are you my mother". Mommy D reads to him this tale of a bird in search of his mother, every night, and Baby D laughs at all the funny bits and looks to his Daddy as if to say "wait wait, she's coming to the best part now". Mommy D has thrown herself enthusiastically into the task of creating a cloth book library for Baby D and looks forward to the day when Harry Potter will be available as a four page cloth book too!
Baby D loves to play "peekaboo" and hides in his blanket until he's heard a lot of desperate "Where is Baby D, where can Baby D possibly be"! His favourite is when Mommy D is looking skyward and clasping and unclasping her hands, "searching" for Baby D, who gives a delighted yelp and comes crawling over. He definitely knows his name..and he knows his Mommy is "M". Mommy D wishes he'd always call her "Emm" and call to his "Emm" to make things better.
