- If he's in our arms and we walk away from something that he wanted to see or touch, he'll let out a little wail of protest.
- When we go to pick him up, he's starting to raise his arms and lean towards us.
- He will sometimes get upset if he sees me leave the room.
- He is starting to direct our hands toward something that he wants us to pick up or show him.
- I know I mentioned this before but it's worth repeating: he has really discovered his voice. For a while he was really into "daa" sounds but now he has a huge repertoire, including his enthusiastic staccato "heuh!" when he likes what he sees and his meltdown-weepy-tired "ma na ma na na" lamentations. Sometimes in the morning I see him wake up and he makes his little conversational noises (and smiles) before he even opens his eyes.
- He is not very mobile but when he's sitting on the floor playing with something, he does have a wide reach and will stretch as far as possible to try to grab something attractive. He doesn't really get frustrated with stuff that's too far, though.
- He definitely responds to certain words: Tigresse (our cat), sister, Papa, milk, and doggie.
- His current favourite books are: Baby's First 1-2-3 Book, Touch and Feel Wild Animals, Discovery Farm, Where's My Bear?, and Baby Animals.
- When he's in our arms and he sees something that interests him (like say, cutlery, for instance) he'll sortof fling himself toward it. And if I'm holding him on my hip and he wants down, he'll pull his legs together to slide down.
- And finally: when I pick him for the first time in the morning or when he stirs in the nighttime (and on other occasions throughout the day as well) he leans onto my shoulder as if he's giving me a little cuddle. And then after a few seconds he straightens up to look around or to push away and down, looking for some mama milk.
