Unconventional Milestones

Oscar is growing and learning and break-neck speed at the moment, and seems to be hitting all the traditional milestones for babies of his age: babbling away, crawling furiously, cutting teeth, pulling himself up on dangerous things, etc, etc, all of which can be recorded proudly in his baby book for prosperity. But in celebration of all of those delightful yet unconventional little 'firsts' that don't have a special space in the book, here's an alternative list:
- Sneezing toast
- Learning how to switch toys back on (which have been switched off when the tune is about to melt your brain)
- Dancing (to aforementioned tune)
- Removing socks and chewing them
- Making random phone calls on my phone
- Belly laughing
- Unzipping things
- Undoing nappies
- Tearing up the Radio Times and trying to eat it
- Scrabbling up the side of the bath like a trapped spider
- Drinking swimming pool water
- Chewing dirty buggy wheels
- Taking one leg out of trousers while parent attempts to put other leg in
- Laughing at bees
- Stealing bites from my sandwiches
- Riding in the 'big boy's seat' in the supermarket trolley
- Blowing raspberries at nice little old ladies
- Nominating random things as the toy of the moment (door stops, flip flops, walnuts, etc)
- Snoring
- Licking own snot
- Eating cold scrambled egg and still saying "mmmmm...."
