I've been exercising my voice and expanding my vocabulary recently. I can now do a really good cranky cry, which is distinctly different from my discontented grumble, which is different again from my 'I'm hungry!' scream. Then there's my 'come and talk to me' ooaah's, and my 'gosh look at those dangly things' mmmMMM's.

I've also discovered that if I smile a lot, then I get more attention from Mum and Dad. The big, mouth-open-wide smile combined with a goo is a definite winner.

Lifting my legs up in the air is kind of fun. If I rotate them slightly from side to side, my body rolls also. This is a lot more movement than I've been able to do before. Previously I could only 'chug' my legs alternately up and down, and even then I didn't have much control over the movement. My arms still pretty much do what they want, although I've been able to get my fingers into my mouth a couple of times. I have perfected the post-sleep stretch though. This is a very satisfying stretch with my arms right up over my head once they're released from the wrap.

Oskar has been a bit nicer to me over the last few days. He's given me a few kisses and hugs, especially if he's been out for a while. Today he wanted me to eat a Salada biscuit. Mum had to tell him that I don't have any teeth and couldn't eat it. But I appreciated the thought.
