As a reward for that flurry of back-dated planning posts an Up-to-the-minute Cygnet Update! He’s 10 and a bit months old, and has eight teeth (as of about two weeks ago).

He can clap! He’s been doing ‘high five’ claps, with me for a couple of weeks, but he started banging some blocks together, and next thing you know… he was clapping!

In the last week or so, his random hand movements have turned into definite waves (still as likely to be towards himself, as to someone else).

Also, today we were at my niece M’s birthday, and she pushed herself onto hands and feet. Someone asked if Cygnet could do that, and I very dismissively said no. However, he’s just done that, too!

All while being miserable with a cold:-(
