In, On and Under-standing

Thanks to this wonder week, little Pi is comprehending more and more. He knows "no" both in a firm tone of voice and normal, Mum, Dad, Nap and I think also kiss. I am sure he probably understands a lot more, but these are the ones where I have had a reaction to, so I know he knows it.

He is also getting better at doing things, not just destroying things. He can put the rings on the ring stacker, put small objects into a small bag- and as we have found, put small objects in shoes. We now have to go back to our Australian roots and start checking our shoes for things (In OZ you do it for spiders).

He loves reading, and lifting flaps, and turning pages. It makes it a really great activity that we can do together.

Right now, Pi is in the "stormy" part of the wonder week. AND teething (of course). But he hasn't been too bad, or not compared to last ones. Maybe because he can do things now. He is also taking some very wabbly, very flukey steps with his walker. I think walking is still two months off, though- he has just turned 10 months last week.

I will still be glad for the wonder week to be over, but it is exciting watching him be able to do things that were not achievable just a few weeks before.
