Contentment in containment

Ewan likes how things fit into things. Including himself!

















He likes things in boxes.















Shake it all about!



























And it's still there!













He also likes vehicles, and crawls around with toy cars, buses, trains and the like, sometimes making what sounds like brrrrrrrm! sounds.

He stands for a moment - he almost looks like he will take a step towards me - then giggles, crouches, and crawls into my arms.

He says "ca" (car) - different from his word for cat, and used when cars zoom down the street as we wait at bus stops, or as we walk up to the car before a journey.

Keywords

Ewan can say:

Dada
Mama
AIDA! (Aidan)
Ca! (Cat)

I think this is a good reflection of his interests!

Ewan update

Ewan is a very busy boy. He loves to explore. His chief scientific interests are answering the questions "is it dropable?" and "is it bangable?". Usually the answer to both is yes.

He loves to blow kisses and has figured out that it is a surefire way to get me to stop what I am doing, pick him up and cuddle him.

He loves to climb. I looked out a few days ago and saw him standing on top of Orla's ride-on with his hands on the handle bars. This was closely followed by him tumbling to the ground as I rushed to catch him. (Fortunately he was unharmed as this was on the lawn).

He is enjoying a wide range of foods now. Some even goes into his mouth.

I'm looking forward to his next weigh-in, which I think is next week.
