Babyhood

Dear Kevin,

Your latest trick to make us laugh is to push your tongue as far as it will go into your lower lip and then twirl it round! It looks so funny and you do it several times a day. You’re learning so many new things, and so fast.

When you sit on my knees at the table, you like to thump your hands quite aggressively on the table-top. Previously you used to pull my hair and bat at my face very hard, enough to hurt, but now you stroke my face very gently, which is lovely. You also like to hold on to my ear when I’m walking you around, and when I’m feeding you and looking down at you, you hold my chin! When Pépé and Méemée were here the other day, you made us all laugh by holding tightly onto Pépé’s cheek and then burping loudly in his face!

When I gave you your bath last night, you held on to your willy and twisted it round! Your Daddy is afraid you’ll hurt yourself, but I know you are just exploring everything you can reach with your hands.
