At 13 months Jethro’s movements have become more toddler like, although he’s still not walking, he stands on his own, takes 2 or 3 shuffled steps into our arms & walks when we hold one of his hands. He still babbles on endlessly, points at everything with a questioning “Huh?” & seems to like mimicking our onomatopoeia e.g. doof; ha, ha, ha etc. He’s learned how to make the kiss sound & blows kisses (without the blowing part). He likes studying things & figuring out how they work, he loves playing with dad’s tools & can now open caps to creams etc. so these are now kept well out of his reach if it can be helped. His favourite foods are lasagne, cottage pie, sweet corn, all fruit (even sour naartjies) & cheese! He’s still very affectionate, even all his soft toys get cuddles & coos.
