We just can’t believe that our little boy is eleven months already! Darwin as changed so much in the past month, I don’t know where to start!

Today we went to our new house with our friends Heidi and Holly. It was the first time either of the children had been in the car with another baby. The were very excited about it. Holly gets so excited that she screams, which in turn, causes Darwin to get very upset and cry. They hadn’t seen each other for six weeks and we had a play date earlier in the week, Darwin cried the whole time! Luckily today, he had gotten use to it so didn’t get as upset. They loved crawling around the house and everything Holly did, Darwin copied. We went out for lunch and they sat opposite each other and were both very well behaved, for a change. We then took them to a beach that had dogs on it! Darwin loved watching the dogs running into the sea.

Yesterday Darwin and I went to Soho with Darwin in the Bjorn. He spent the whole day waving at everyone he passed, people really loved it as did Darwin.

Early on in the week Darwin wasn’t himself, he was very upset and we couldn’t tell why, until last night, the light was shining on his gums and his bottom two teeth have almost come through!!

He has started to get upset when Daddy goes to work, but he is figuring it out and now he waves bye. For the past two days when Daddy has said ‘ba-bye’, Darwin has actually said it back! He even said bye when Heidi and Holly got out of the car! Darwin also seems to know when I’m on the phone to Daddy. I tell Darwin who it is and he starts smiling and waving!

Darwin is also going through a stage of not wanting to put on clothes and refusing to wear bibs. He pulls his bib straight off every time I put it on.

Darwin is getting more and more confident on his feet and is taking his hands off whatever he’s balancing on for a second before falling.
