Dylan Henry Jones Month 17

Wednesday - 24Jul13
So, given it's the height of Summer and we've had some very hot temperatures, how come both Dylan and the Mother have stinking colds?  Dylan is possibly tolerating it more than the Mother but he is on magic pink medicine.

He said "Daddy".
(and also "Mummy")

Oops.
Dylan had his first "real" accident on Thursday.  He's getting much more confident on his feet and walking much further and more stably.  Except when he gets it wrong.  In this case he stumbled and fell onto one of the garden chairs.  There was claret and the first of probably many fat lips (just about visible in the photo below).  Not sure who was more panicked: him or me!  A cuddle and some pink medicine and it was all fine although Daddy did need a stiff drink to calm his nerves...

...no really he has got a fat lip and there was blood everywhere!  Honest!

 The skateboarding is coming on much better however (the videos are rubbish unfortunately).

Oh! And almost forgot.  First words are coming out.  We've had "bubbles", "door" and "book" so far.  And in context too!  No sign of "mummy" or "daddy" yet though.

 Just some photos and videos from the first hot weekend of the year.  Dylan, like his Dad, is not a sun worshipper and if ever there was a time to get air-conditioning in a car it's when you have a small child (and a grumpy Daddy) driving in the afternoon sun for three hours.  Mad dogs and Welshman...

Bubbles!!

We also think that actually he can now be considered to be able to walk as the video below (should) show.  Over the last week he's got much more stable on his feet and if anything even more demanding that he should be stood up.

He also experienced a paddling pool.  That didn't work out quite so well, but I don't think he's been put off by the experience...

I think we need to construct some fences.  Quickly.  Possibly electric ones... the monster is trying to escape

He's not walking far, but at least now more often than not he actually as his eyes open.  Which probably helps.

On a different note, whilst classical music may be thought to promote a baby's intelligence and all the rest, I can't really imagine that a Brahms Requiem is going to do much for him other than possibly scare him.  He certainly didn't look that impressed with the first half!  Maybe stick to nursery rhymes and simpler melodies for the moment...
