It's amazing how many new things Dylan seems to learn each week. He is a little monkey and is climbing onto everything! He is also walking a few steps all on his own. When he thinks he has done something clever, like climb onto his chair, he claps for himself, so cute! He can also do the actions to a dutch children's song...
Klap eens in je handjes, blij, blij, blij,
Winter has finally arrived! I don't think it is here to stay but we have had a very cold week with beautiful, blue skies and no rain in sight.
So Aunty Pam was here and it was loads of fun having her. She timed her vist well, to coincide with both Marko and Dylan's parties. We were quite sad to see her go but we will be seeing her again in Dubai, in 6 weeks.
His favourite trick the last couple of weeks is dropping whatever he is carrying on to the floor... just so he can pick it up again... He is much steadier on is feet and can stand on his own until he realises he is, then he laughs and sits very quickly.
Thanks to everyone for making this day so lovely and birthdayish. For the sms's, emails and cards, the phone calls, visits and presents. We had a party in the afternoon and Dylan loved everything. He loved the decorations and the balloons; he loved opening and playing with the presents; he loved the visitors, big and small, specially the ones who walked him around everywhere; and he really loved his birthday cake.
