Baby diary: 17 months
Alan developed a low fever on Mother's Day, and spent the next day as a sleepy couch potato, though he didn't fuss. I had a bad moment in the evening when I thought his breathing was more laboured than usual. He woke up recovered today, though, and so full of beans he didn't nap at all, instead falling asleep at 6pm. Blessed free evening! Hope it lasts.
We measured him "officially" today: he's an inch taller than when the shutdown started, and there's basically nowhere he can't reach. Today he kept climbing up from dining chair onto the table, like a cat. He doesn't shake his head "no" much, but he nods frantically to indicate that adults should do something, or that there is something Alan wants, the two being functionally the same eg. "more goldfish crackers."
(He eats too many goldfish crackers.)
Some firsts this week:
* Listened to me read a book (with no flaps or holes or dongles) from start to end, without knocking it out of my hand; even though he vastly prefers books with flaps, still
* Imitated someone saying "ha ha ha" in a video
* Pretended to make distressed noises for attention
* "Did" his farm animals puzzle
Went and picked up Alan's remaining stuff from the daycare, although it was technically slated to reopen (not bloody likely). Bell is in no hurry to make its office workers return to the office, and in no practical sense would Alan go to daycare in the same building if I'm not going myself.
