As high as I can go

Reuben has just discovered how to stand up with the aid of things around him. This includes people, toys and his cot. It's time to lower the base of his cot as the next step will be to climb over the edge! He also likes to be as high as he can be, therefore he loves being carried on shoulders. This is a photo of Reuben and Mike at the show- he had more fun looking at ceilings than at the animals.

Fun with sand

Today I took Reuben to the beach. This was partly to distract him for a while, as he has been very grumpy due to his first tooth as well as feeling a bit poorly. It was also lovely weather and I was keen for him to help me make sandcastles. Reuben enjoyed scraping up the sand and rolling around in it, however he also loves to eat it! Each sandcastle just meant easier access to handfuls of sand. Sand mixed with dribble and runny nose is disgusting. Not that Reuben cared. He also had a great time waiting for the waves to run over his toes. As well as shouting out to the passing puppies and chewing on my toes, he had a great time.
