Since our last post, Massimo has had a grand old time at home. He seems to have developed all of a sudden and although he isn’t always doing new things, he is definitely doing things better. He has a little vtech toy with lots of buttons and things which all make noises and he now spends ages staring at it and pressing various things on it. He also has a zylophone and he is getting very good at bashing it both with the appropriate drum sticks and with his whisk – his current favourite, favourite toy. His following of things is extremely good and his attention span is definitely longer. Today he discovered his left foot (with his right hand!) and he has started rolling around the room again, but this time with renewed vigour. He is getting very good at sitting up although he isn’t quite doing it on his own yet, but he has discovered that life from a sitting position is interesting and loves to spend time playing in his various chairs.
On Wednesday we took him for his first hair cut, and once over the initial cry, he was a very good, brave boy. I didn’t realise that all children think that having their hair cut will hurt! Anyway although we didn’t have too much cut off, it definitely looks neater. On Saturday Massimo is off to Christopher’s for the week and we are sure he will be spoiled rotten by everyone there. Between now and 12th September some entries may be written by Christopher’s staff as they attempt to keep us updated with all his shenanigans!
He is still dribbling in an outrageous manner but no teeth have made an appearance yet, although they are surely very close.
