13 months old

I can walk a few steps, unassisted. For the records, I took first steps in late August, as I turned 11 months. I can really let out a loud scream, this happens when something I want is not given to me, or some toy/article is taken away. Mama is not allowed to leave the room in my presence. I enjoy my bath and playing in water. One cannot go past a tap with me making my intentions clear by pointing. I love to empty things, be it my toy box, a set of sketch pens, or any container for that matter. I love to experiment by dismantling.Subject to my dismantling tendency have been the whistle of a pressure cooker. I also like to 'vakahr' Grandpa's office cupboard is my favorite spot for this. Today mummy noticed that I liked to put back things too. I continue to be friendly baby, the evidence of which is seen ocassionlly, for example when at the Doctors' clinic for my vaccine, I insist on talking to all the babies and kids. The other day when I visited my grandparents after a long time I showed how much I missed my grandpa by hugging him for about 20 minutes. No one could take me away from grandpa, not even my Mama..this show delighted my grandma no end. I have a special attraction for the broom. And yes, I love sticks in all forms, be it a ladle, shoe horn, pipes, bread sticks, brooms. This fascination of mine is well observed like the other day when I was at the club when my parents and grandparents were enjoying lunch and I was playing about, I managed to yank out what looked like a very long stick..about 6 times my length. I am told that it was a part of the skirting on the floor...Among the things I do not like are long car rides. At exactly half distance from either way between my grandparents houses I let my displeasure known. Grandparents vouch that this was the same when mama and my maushi were kids.
