Scouse Gary referred to Leon as 'Trotski' in a facebook message during the week. I thought Tobs and Trotski might make an interesting name for a Father Son Clothing line.
Busy week mostly consisting of meeting people in town every day and then cooking, washing up, washing and generally looking after Leon before, after and during.
Leon's crawling is coming on fast and now he's standing up in his cot when I come in after his morning snooze - he can't yet stand up in his Grobag.
He loves his new found skill and had a good crawl round the children's section at the Library this afternoon then stood up leaning on the windowsill watching the people below go by and a massive yellow JCB digging in the building site opposite.
He has overcome his fear of the washing machine on spin and stood up hands on the glass while it spun spun spun.
The 8-9 month separation anxiety thing is evident but I think I'm dealing with it well. He's going off to sleep mainly because he's so knakkered but I am resorting to feeding him to sleep sometimes. Mostly as a last resort but I think it's best to respond to him quickly and make him feel secure rather than leave him to cry too long at this stage. I left him to go to sleep by himself this morning and he winged about 5 minutes but fell asleep by himself so I think we are coming through it. During the night, he woke up crying and 'saying' mamamamama. Tob went in to console him but he just got angry, 'said' dadada!MAMAMA!
His favorite face at the moment is the 'monkey face' this usually involves breathing almost like a low wistle, a bit like he's about to karate you or start weight training. It goes with holding onto the sides of the cot and jumping.
