morning ladies

ta for the thoughts again, and Nic, dont worry - the memories are too ingrained now for "having to recall em". I've also been doing that style of poetry (a message or words from the 1st letter of each line) for quite a while. It's not easy at first, but when it works its good and much more personal


But onto better stuff

Jordy is now "accidentally" standing at times without holding onto something. He will say stand in front of the shelves in the kitchen (pics of him pulling bibs and things off it in the latest set on his website), when he takes his hand off it that was supporting himself to then "help his other hand hold something". Tis sooo funny when he realises and reaches back for it. Sometimes can be up to 30 seconds or more even. Now to have the camera ready for when he next does it

Oh, something he has been doing for AGES now... when dressing him or changing etc, we'll usually give him something to hold - occupies him so doesn't roll on the table blah blah. We'll say "swap hands" when you need him to put what he's holding in the other hand so you can then put it up the arm piece... and he does it without fail


We have Jen's parents and a brother (who will be here later than them) coming for lunch today, her dad's 80th birthday. We'll be telling them about what is also happening in 4 weeks time. Needs to be kept quiet from her brother as he has a very big, though accidental, mouth, and works in the same industry as Jen - word would spread like wildfire if he found out.
