*Boyfriend/Daddy Footnote*

The newest progression in our little boys life seems to be he’s attempts to replicate speaking. We’ve had motorboat lips, ninja noises (Fingers crossed he’s the next Bruce Lee!) and monkey impressions (Fingers crossed he passes this trend!) in the last week. It’s amazing and so so funny. He can sit happily chatting to himself for nearly an hour. Oooh, Yaaaaa, prrrrr, prrrr, prrrr! In fact, forget those previous ‘fingers crossed’ hopes – being the next Michael Winslow aka Larvell Jones from Police Academy is an achievable dream! 

On the negative side it has become clear that Hunter takes after his mum. It’s a constant flow of nonsense. No-one can get a word in!

It also isn’t so sweet or funny when he does it at 3.30am. This week it seems that, like a child who’s discovered he can skate board and does nothing but scare old ladies down the road for 4 weeks, Hunter is obsessed.

Unfortunately this influx of talking gibberish has coincided with my parents visiting (In Devon [see photos below]) and Sarah and I having to share a room with Hunter. Ouch!

That said his and our lack of sleep is because he’s acquiring language which makes it both important and incredible. Although it’s probably about 8 months away it seems with his sharp enthusiasm for chit-chat soon he won’t need to cry to get our attention – he’ll be able to express himself clearly enough to tell us we’re plonkers.

In the meantime as my son would say - 'burrrr, burrrr, ya, he he!'

He seems to always know where the camera is! (Gets it from mummy I'm sure!)
