what a nutter...

our baby is a full on NUT. He did something SO FUNNY the other day I had to write it in here, even though its probably one of those 'you-had-to-be-there' type of things.
I was in the kitchen innocently cooking dinner and i heard Chris and Jase laughing in the lounge. J was laughing like a madman as he usually does, but it was getting REALLY REALLY madmanish, so I went to have a look.
There was J standing up against the couch next to his dad who was lying on it. Jason was sticking his fingers down his throat, gagging (quite violently I might add) and then cracking up about it. Chris was laughing away, basically egging him on. I opened my mouth to stop him, but it was just so funny I burst out laughing too - which really set Jason off! He kept doing it over and over with Chris and I both trying to tell him to stop between gasps for air cos we were laughing so hard. It was so funny! He just kept ramming his fingers down his throat, gagging and then cracking up like a boy on drugs. We despretely wanted to tell him to stop, but I fell on the ground laughing so hard and Chris was in no better shape than me.
Of corse, the inevitable happened, but even throwing up didnt stop him, but thankfully that snapped us out of it and we were able to distract him from his new faverite game. What a nut!!!
I spent a worried day or two thinking he might do it again, simply because he got such positive reinforcement from us (even though we didnt want to!) but thankfully it seems to have been a once off.
Other than that our little boy is doing well. He uses furniture and walls and whatever else he can get to to walk really well now. Hes even able to let go of all support fleetingly while he transfers from one chair to another so he can carry on his journey. I dont know how far away walking is, Ive given up trying to predict these things and i definatley given up getting all worked up about it.
Hes gorgeous as ever and a good natured little boy. Weve been very lucky (touch wood) as far as illnessess and the like go, and other than that whole 'WHY did it take 11 months to sleep through the night thing' hes been a pretty easy baby. Maybe three or four times a week he decides its morning time before 6.00am -which isnt cool, but wadaya-gonna-do?
At the end of this month he will be 15 months old! !!!! OMG!!!!!
