A few developments

Recently Noah has grown so much it blows my mind. He has this intense curiosity about absolutely EVERYTHING. He recognises locations and knows exactly what he wants to get his hands on the first chance he gets. Andrew handed him to me in the shower the other night and his eyes went straight to the suction animals we have on the walls in there and he did not stop focussing on them for the entire shower. He managed to get his hands onto them, one by one and stuff each in his mouth and then drop it to the floor in pursuit of the next. Everything goes into his mouth for extra exploration. He gets so fixated on new things, he spots it, focusses on it and you can almost feel the synapses in his brain exploding like fireworks as he tries with every cell of his body to reach out and grab it and pull it to his mouth. The other day he spent 30minutes exploring the zip on my jacket.

As well as this, he recognises his bottles at night time and manages to hold them for himself for most of the time. He's pushing forward on the floor by pushing up on his toes and reaching out with his arms. He still absolutely loves Jolly Jumper time but shows so much more enthusiasm when he knows I'm watching - what a little show pony :)

Noah thoroughly enjoys lying on the picnic rug outside, he's a little nature explorer. The other day he explored the taste of dirt. I found this quite funny as earlier in the day I had given him a suck on a piece of pear I was eating and he made the funniest face of absolute disgust but yet when he had a whole mouthful of dirt, not one complaint was heard, hmmmm...
