Each day, Kobi gets stronger and happier. He's such a funny character. Cheeky and loving. I get open mouthed, face plant kisses regularly now which is lovely (slobber and all!). He also tries to hug and kiss Piper but she's not into sibling love just yet.
Kobi now also enjoys lolling all over Subi the Great Dane, and since trying to ride Dolly the Jack Russel, their relationship has improved.
Tim and Kobi had a 'man day' today. Unloading wood from the ute and then driving it to the river shack to collect more. Kobi returned covered in mud but absolutely glowing. Tim had a ball too. I then caught Tim and Kobi wrestling on the couch with Piper...ahhh happy days :-) First day for Kobi without Mum and although it started with a bit of crying, apparently it went well....(Kobi crying - not me :-))
Piper and I had a girls day out - lunch and shopping. It was a nice break from running around after a 2 year old, but we both missed him. I think absence made the heart grow fonder for little Pip - as her 'I'm only going in the bath with Kobi for 2 minutes', has turned into a riot in there. She was pouring him tea and making him drink it, poor love. But I'm gathering that Kobi will do anything Piper asks him too. I think he is begining to adore her...
Which brings me to another point...how on earth is he understanding us? If I ask him things he answers yes or no...correctly as well. I think it's uncanny how much meaning can be passed in the inflection of your voice and sign language. Even simple tasks like 'Kobi, put the cup in the bath'....and he does it! This child is either a genius or he's really a very small man disguised as a 2 year old....hope it's not the latter although could explain why he stares at me in the shower...hmm disturbing.
Kobi has been able to say a few words. He says 'Piper', 'Ta' and I'm pretty sure he said "Dada' yesterday. I think he is confusing me with the bottle as he calls the bottle 'mama' but I think he's calling me that too.
It was very cute the second night we were home. Kobi grabbed a photo of Piper from the loungeroom and ran to his room yelling 'biber...biber...biber...ahhhhhhhaaahahhahaha'. So he now has a photo of Piper next to his bed.
