Puff’s hair continues to grow back at an encouraging rate. He’s starting to tend towards having one daytime sleep, and a long night sleep (usually around 12 hours). When he’s getting towards a sleep debt, his mood worsens, but when he’s been getting enough sleep, we can be treated to smiles like this one:
Today was an example of a day where he wasn’t in the best of moods. Arriving home from a day out, he saw dad preparing dinner, and spotted what he was sure was an apple on the kitchen bench.
Despite our best efforts to explain otherwise, he kept insisting “apple, apple” and getting more and more worked up, refusing (unusually) to eat his dinner and wanting the apple instead.
The trouble was, what he thought was an apple was in fact a raw onion. We handed it over to him, (immediately stopping the tears), expecting him to taste it and then put it down.
No. He was keen to actually eat it: he took a few bites over the space of a few minutes, interspersed with eating the other food in front of him.
Don’t believe it?
In more tasteful news, he managed to charm his way into a free babycino from a cafe near Dad’s work. Here he is tucking into it (yes, even eating the chocolate that was sprinkled on top).
We’re noticing an increased vocabulary, and an awareness of places, as well as simple verbs and nouns. Here, we ask him about one of our regular haunts (a coffee shop called Grind, in Cronulla).
See you next week!
