Alex's new favourite word is "Yuck!" - loudly exclaimed with lots of giggles whenever he or anybody else farts. He also says Uh oh, bath, bye bye, ni-ni, mum, dad and we're starting to get something that sounds like Up, which is accompanied by hands in the air asking to be picked up.

Usually if you ask him if he needs his bottom changed he'll run off to his bedroom and stand beside his change table with his hands up if he does. Not so much if he's distracted though.

The only odd thing is that he's not big on being read to. Likes flipping through books occasionally, but is usually too busy to sit for a story. Hoping this changes, I like story time!
