Full of Surprises

Joshua has been full of surprises lately.

It started 2 weeks ago when I decided to cut out his afternoon nap bottle. I expected there to be a lot of protesting & refusing to sleep, but this hasn't been the case. He has a cup of milk with his lunch & then is quite happy to lie in his cot & go to sleep. The only problem we had was that for the first few days he would only sleep 1hr (compared to 2-3hrs). But this seems to have settled & he generally sleeps 1.5 -2hrs.

Then last weekend he surprised us by climbing up into his highchair all by himslef (video coming soon). In a way it shouldn't really have surprised me as he's been extremely interested in climbing the last few weeks & "practicing" quite a bit on any chair around (though they have been too high for him to be able to climb).

Lastly, with the cold weather coming it is starting to get to the stage where he really should wear mittens when outside. I had been putting it off though as I was sure he would just pull them straight back off again. Yesterday though we had to go into town & do a bit of walking outside, & it was bitterly cold & wet & windy, so I put the mittens on him. To my amazement he didn't pull them off!! At first he just sat there holding his hands up in the air. Then he seemed to get used to the idea & just moved his hands around normally.
