great leap forward

I used to think this blog was a means for Slinky to acquire an internet presence, but I now know that was just preparation for reporting Babycake's every move. The last two days have been a busy time in the life of our seven month old. He managed a brief crawl forward yesterday, having developed a lovely backwards movement over the last few weeks; he enjoyed his first proper game of peekaboo with Mr McMuffin today and a few minutes ago he engaged in his first dirty protest when I tried to get him dressed for bed and smeared some of the contents of his nappy over the wipes. I tell you, I am so proud of that child.
