15 months old – walking

The Moo boy has been walking for the past 3 weeks and is building up speed daily. He just sort of got up and walked, and practiced constantly. It’s weird now cos I can’t remember a time when he
didn’t. He is picking up signs rapidly and can tell me he is hot, needs his bum changing, wants to eat, wants to read a book or wants a drink – mostly mummy milk. He is good at identifying ducks and cows. He is getting the hang of duplo and can make towers of the really simple blocks.

Nights are better, on a good day he sleeps 11 hours straight through, usually in bed with us. He has a horrible habit of reaching out and pulling my hair in his sleep so sometimes I sleep with my feet on the pillow. Breastfeeding is down to 2 or 3 times a day, it is still magic sleepy stuff and I use it unashamedly to get him to nap and at bedtime. The only problem I have (apart from tooth marks) is him kneading at me like a kitten and playing with my face as I nurse. When it gets really
bad I hold his hand so he can’t hurt me but he gets extremely frustrated at that.
