95%

Adam got 95% in his Last Ever Masters assignment. I'm very proud of him.

The other achievement in this household is that Edward can stack blocks on top of each other. This is an improvement on smashing constructions made by a parent.
He has not figured out the different shapes yet, and gets very cross when his attempted stacking on top of a triangular block is unsuccessful. I'll try and make a video of his block stacking but it's hard when the main actor would rather chew a camera than stack blocks.

Our darling little one is not walking unassisted. I was a bit disappointed as I thought this would happen at 12 months. However, after interrogating each of his grandmothers, neither Adam nor I walked until 15 months. So the pressure is on for 3 July. (Now, E darling if you walk before your 12 month check-up - next Thursday - I can tell that smug nursing sister that you are walking and that will be a good thing.)

Oh and the 12 month check-up is also when the next immunisations happen. I'm not looking forward to it. The NL does not have Baby Panadol (or equivalent). What they do have is paracetamol suppositories (called "Z Pillen" or something) over here. I actually bought some when E was so sick in the Hague, but cannot imagine (well I can imagine it...) them being used.

I took Edward to the Laren swimmingpool today. He does not like the water. Not a sporty baby.
