Well our darling Adam is finally a year and two weeks old!  He is totally adorable.  He walks beautifully now with a lot of falling and bumping his head.  He is quite proud of the fact that he can walk and gives a huge four toothed grin.  Actually tooth number five is on its way now and we had a few wakeful nights as it pushed through the gum!  I am not sure of Adams weight but I think he's around eleven kgs or just under.  He has quite a lot of hair, the fringe I have cut twice already as it was hanging in his eyes and worrying him.  His favourite word apart from mama and dada is 'no!' and it sometimes means no but otherwise means yes.  He chatters away in his own little language and is generally very happy and smiles a lot.  People at supermarkets love Adam cos he smiles at them and says a few words to them.  Life is generally much easier now that Adam can walk and in fact going for a picnic is fun cos he wanders around and explores while we can relax while keeping an eye on him.  Also he tires himself out and then sleeps beautifully at night.  Adam adores both his grannies and his 'meme' which means granny in french actually talks french to him and he seems to be understanding certain french words now.  He knows how to switch the tv on and also mess with the remote - putting the volume right up or right down and changing the channels.  Otherwise I think he needs to start socializing more now as he is very aware of other toddlers and enjoys being around them - touches them and pokes fingers in their eyes and mouth etc.  He also enjoys most children of all ages and they enjoy him.  

 

We look forward to hearing a few more words and being able to eventually communicate with Adam properly, even though its already started slowly and with the pointed finger etc.
