Wordy

Your vocabulary is improving surely. Your favourite word for a while now has been "down". I taught you it so you could vocalise your desire to be lowered from my embrace (I was saying "up" too, when I lifted you, but you have trouble with words that begin with certain vowels). You use "down" now to indicate pretty much every desire. If you've had enough to eat and want to get down out of the high chair, it's "down". If you are trying to climb into your cot to play (a recent preference), it's also "down". Lying flat on your back when I change your nappy, "down" means "let me get up".
Your Mandarin vocabulary is also coming on. You have been drawn by barely visible planes from the window for several weeks and now have an approximation of the word. We got a new washing machine yesterday and that having been one of your favourite pictures for a short while in the Picthall and Gunzi's "first Chinese words" book I bought for you last Xmas, you have been excitedly pointing and saying "xiyiji" eveery minute or so at times.
Since we employed Alicia as your first Spanish friend/tutor, you also like saying "si" and you understand and attempt "dame manos". 
Obviously your passive vocabulary is far greater than your active one, and those words you say don't always sound like the word you're expressing but we know what you are saying, son.
Some English words you know:
baby, cat, rainbow, bunny, daddy, mummy, ball, pepper, potato, down, tea

Protestor

You enjoyed most of your first demo, though slept through part of it despite the noise, which I'd worried would upset you.

Your first scrape

You fall over several times daily, it's natural of course and you pick yourself up and get on with it. Today we bought you your second pair of shoes. They were one whole size bigger than the 4.5 you had, so we'd left it too long. The new ones came off more than once in the buggy home. I began to think we should have got a G not a H (a measure of width). Your mum took you up Barnard Park while I did some reading for my DELTM. While you were there you fell over on your beautiful face and cut and bruised your nose and bruised your cheek below your eye. I worry that it may have been the new shoes. It's just a scrape and you were fine but it is your first one, son.

Steps

You like steps and climbed some alone today. Fell off the third one though (daddy was there to catch you).

Londoner

This is your city. You're gradually seeing more of it.

Pointing & biting

You, my beauty, are pointing at stuff and grunting to show what you want to see or touch. You are getting better at copying sounds and understand more and more. You have been shaking your head about a lot, even as you walk, for a few weeks, but may have just learnt that it means no. On that note, I should mention your biting. Your mum has bruises all along her arms and when I first said "Rock, no" in a stern voice you stopped and cried (and came to me for a cuddle to make it better) but you seem to have gone through that stage and now seem unworried by the rebuke. You will have to be taught, though.
