Loving the playpen

Jaeminkins is finally back to his usual self and no longer jetlagged. Now at 8.5 months he loves to move as he's starting to crawl. But his favourite past time is standing for long periods of time leaning on his musical table and hanging onto the playpen bars as you can see. I love how he's trying to eat the bars.


 He loves to amuse himself for long periods by banging his hands and especially his toys - on any surface over and over again. Luckily I haven't had to listen to pots and pans clanking yet.

 He loves reaching for toys and picking things up with his fingers, well more like a pincer grip rather than with the palm of his hand. He can easily rip paper and loves the target or any shopping catalogues for that reason.

He understands the words yes and no. He doesn't like it when I say no, as you can see by his not so happy reaction but it usually stops him from chewing his books to bits or putting those fingers into powerpoints.


 It's been more difficult at meal times as he's become very assertive about wanting to feed himself. So I'm experiencing the pursed lips and bursts of mmmmming as he tries to pick food up between his fingers and place it in his mouth.  Jaeminkins' mostly misses but its been a lot of fun cleaning up after him.....
