Colours, numbers, that sort of thing

Bevan is doing great now with learning new stuff. I don't really need to
keep a word diary anymore because he'll come out with allsorts of things.
Today we talked about the 6 colouring pencils he was drawing with and he
talked about all those colours. Blue, green, red, orange, yellow, brown.
And I know he knows all the colours from Neopolitan icecream too.

He can name a few of his friends now and plays with them with make believe
games and lots of physical running around. He counts pretty well to 10.

He is getting pretty tall and is still solid as. Size 3's suit him now, and
I'm buying 4's on special to put away. His feet are wide so I get him quite
big shoes so that he can get his feet in. I got him some summer sandals
today in size 9.
I also got him a bike helmet so that we lok responsible when we take him to
the cycle park. At home he doesn't wear it.
I remember my mum saying she would get him a scooter for Christmas, so I
guess he'll need a helmet for that anyway.

Christopher is chubbing up and looking cute He is demanding two lots of
solids a day and is brave enough to try and tackle all sorts of finger
foods. He burbles a lot and is very communicative. He is going through a
phase of crying if I leave the room, he always wants me to carry him about.
He stands up in my lap and takes some weight. He isn't quite sitting yet.
Sometimes he'll manage it for a short bit and then he'll topple sideways.
He is still waking twice a night for a feed. Once he hits 9 months I'll try
and sort that out.
