8 Months

I just wanted to write a little update on Cyril so that when I look back a few years from now I can remember all the crazy things he was up to at this age so without further avail ...

Cyril can

crawl into things, on top of things, through tunnels, and up and down the furniture.

pull himself up to  a standing position.

walk with his tool cart.

walk while holding onto my hands.

hang from a climbing hold at the gym with no support for approximately 10 seconds.

swim with a shark fin on his back, although he doesn't know to pick his head up yet.

feed himself a wide variety of finger foods.

Crawling towards some cacti!

His favourite foods right now are squash/pumpkin, oranges, tomatoes, pears, avocado, and he's obsessed with yogurt.

He can say mamama, dadadada, gagaga, bababa but he's not naming objects yet and he also has a wide variety of pitches that he sings in different situations.

He laughs just like my brother Benny and has crazy hair, at the moment it's starting to resemble a mullet, time to get it cut!

He's an extremely physical baby. He loves to be upside down, thrown in the air, rolled down your legs and pretty much anything that involves adrenaline.

He's currently sleeping a lot but I think that's because he pretty much runs a marathon everyday. When my friend Alex was here he slept 14 hours in a row, I guess we wore him out with all of our talking :)

Post hike up Cat Bells with Alex, someone looks exhausted!
