Our boy is now 1. In fact he is now 13 months old. He's closer to walking on his own, but still a couple of months away I think. He keeps himself very occupied with the huge array of toys that have turned our lounge-room into a playroom.
He had grommets put in last week, and the ENT surgeon said that his ears were reeeaally blocked. He is more interested in musical toys, and maybe babbling a bit more, but he has a hearing test late next week to assess the difference more accurately. I am still not sure if he responds to his name as quickly as he should - but he might be just too interested in an activity.
He had a wonderful 1st birthday party. He was very impressed with his cup-cakes - thanks Nan.
