As posted in the title, 'Numnumnumnum' is the word of the moment for D. Sounds cute, doesn't it. And indeed it was when he first started doing it. However, he has now been shouting (yes, full on shouting, echoing off the lounge walls type sound) this word over and over again for, ooh, about two hours solid? I had some nursery rhymes playing for him on Spotify, but actually just had to turn them off in the end, as they were drowned by D's over-enthusiastic bellowing.
Shame, I rather liked the last obsessive sound-byte from D, which was to blow very loud raspberries, particularly in public places, the most amusing of which being some poor old dear in the local charity shop, who scuttled away from D faster than you would have thought someone with a walking stick could travel. He looked embarrassingly chuffed at having had this effect as well and was beaming from ear to ear.
He's definitely had some sort of developmental upgrade at the moment. My husband and I like to imagine it in Super Mario terms - you know, when Mario eats a little mushroom and gets to be a big Mario and do all sorts of cool stuff. So D has woofed down his proverbial mushroom and is now doing a wide variety of super duper whizzy things; the most exciting of which is his moving around.
He's now pulling himself up on every available ledge (and falling over backwards straight away, not a great move on freshly stripped floorboards...) and crawling, albeit in entirely the wrong direction. He's mastered the art of travelling backwards, but he does it incredibly trendily and slinkily, like a sort of 'mooncrawl' as opposed to moonwalk. I was suitably impressed.
I've literally just finished giving him a 'power shake' which has sent him into turbo over-drive, he is like a little laser beam bouncing around the lounge. If any of you mamas out there are interested, here is what goes into a powershake...
Turbo baby powershake
About twenty or so blueberries
Half a banana
Two plums (skinned, obviously!)
A good old healthy dollop of yoghurt.
Then whisk all together using a hand blender and serve!
He does love 'em.
We really enjoyed seeing our Yeovil buddies yesterday, and thankfully D managed to keep his trousers firmly up. I was somewhat alarmed at how chubby he looked in comparison...hmm, perhaps D has had one too many powershakes after all. I am now going to dutifully run down to the doctors to find out where he can be weighed...oh, yet another thing for me to worry about, accidentally overfeeding my offspring!!
