It is absolutely fantastic to watch Ainsworth develop both physically and emotionally. It is not surprising that he is acquiring new skills almost daily at the moment - some are better tricks than others, however!
We delighted in his new 'finger pointing' trick last weekend. He will do it at the meal table to amuse, he will point at people in photos and he will point to show which direction he wants to go in. All very clever!
And as we meet and greet various people he is delighting them with a lovely smile and nose wrinkle - very cute!
He continues to amuse himself beautifully with the toys in his basket for up to half an hour.
Unfortunately two days ago his latest trick was to spit food out. He has learnt that his tongue can push food out of his mouth quite effectively - not something to be encouraged! And then this morning, as I was forcing down another syringe full of antibiotic, I realised why he'd learnt this latest trick... he may not be able to get the medicine out, but he's showing me he does have some control over what goes into his mouth!
Hey ho, let's hope he learns to feed himself soon!
After nearly thirteen years of marriage, we had a baby in March 2007. Now we're learning to be a family.

It really is amazing isn't it? I melt every time Kirsten gives us a wave or claps her hands.
Good luck getting the med in now that he realizes he can stop it!
Glad to hear everything is going well.
