Happy New Year everyone! I’m so sorry there hasn’t been a blog for a considerable amount of time! New Year’s resolution, to write more blogs!!

So much has happened in the past month. One day after Darwin’s thirteen month birthday he took his first step! Amazingly without even trying to, Daddy caught the moment on the video recorder, which is just priceless! Darwin is now very sturdy on his feet and is scurrying round the house, keeping his parents on their toes!

His speech is coming on leaps and bounds. His favorite word is ‘duck’ and likes to call our dog a ‘bad boy’!

We had a fantastic Christmas at home, Daddy was off work for nearly two weeks, so we got to spend so much quality time together. We are very sad to say the least, that Daddy has to go back to work tomorrow. 😦 Darwin was thoroughly spoilt. So much so, that we were still opening presents at 6:00pm! Amongst his favorites are his London bus and his four foot giraffe and lion!

Yesterday Darwin started picking up a toy that he wanted us to help him play with and he would bring it to us, this was a first! Today he started playing ‘peek a boo’ with me by putting a scarf up to his face and pulling it down!

His favorite food at the moment is smoked salmon! A boy with expensive taste, naturally.

Darwin still only has the four teeth, no sign of any more.

Last weekend we went to a dinner party at a friends house, there were nine little boys under the age of five! It was crazy! Darwin behaved fantastically! He was happy playing by himself or just sitting watching the older boys, he even made stayed awake until 10:00pm without a single tear! He then let Mummy and Daddy lie in until 11:00am on New Year’s day, such a little angel!

Today we went to the Science Museum, which was a lot of fun. Darwin thoroughly enjoyed the simple experiments of how things worked. They had a planetarium, where we learnt about the stars, planets and human trips into space, Darwin really enjoyed it until he fell asleep!
