A trip to the playground with Mummy and Granny

We thought it would be nice for Zeph to try out his new shoes, so after feeding the ducks in the park we visited the little playground.

He loves swings.




"I can see Granny!"




These rope bridges really aren't meant for use by little people. I didn't drop him, though. (Just about!)




"Soos!"




Granny stops Zeph going to where the big kids are running about.




The only problem with his shoes is that they grip the slide rather too well!




Zeph heads off in a determined fashion.




He's aiming for bigger and better climbing frames!




He has so much fun on playground equipment, but his enthusiasm tends to outweigh his abilities. He'd better get plenty of practising in before the summer, since I want to take him here!

I forgot some things...

He also says...

cudda (cuddle)
ki' (kiss)
look (either triumphantly to show you something clever he's done, or demandingly when he needs you to reach a toy for him)
soo (shoe)

He can tell you what a wolf says too.

and his pirate one!

Oh, The Things Zeph Can Do!

At 14 months, Zeph is very verbal. He understands a lot more than he can say, but he uses quite a few words.
In approximate order of appearance -

panda
Mama
Dada
Gaggy (Granny)
Gaga (Grandpa)
CA! (cat)
DoG! (said just like that!)
gain (again)
caa (car)
cu' (cup - of water)
A-goo (thank you)
gook (book)
peese (please)
dink (drink - his cup of milk)
yea! & ess! (yes)
uh! - (up)
duck
oops!
uh-oh

He can tell you what a pirate, fish, dog and duck say.

Also, he can:

Crawl
Walk by cruising round the furniture
Take a few steps on his own
Find lost toys by looking under furniture
Look through books on his own, turning pages one at a time
Stack blocks
Fit a set of nesting beakers together
Feed himself with a spoon (not very well, though!)
Do pull-ups on the stairgate
