This past four months Moses has started speaking English more to us but still mixes in Swahili here and there. He uses his imagination in his play to take care of his teddy bear Mac like I do Sarah and use his pretend phone and computer to do work like we do. He also enjoys riding his scooter, riding his bike, playing with Duplo, colouring, doing puzzles, reading books with us, and sliding around on the wood stools like they are cars. He picks out his clothes everyday and almost always chooses button up collar shirts (to look like Papa I suspect). Moses is helpful, caring, methodical, silly, and outspoken. It is fun to talk to him and find out what he is thinking as he finds his words.



This month you are crawling, going from your stomach to sitting and back again, and pulling yourself up to standing. You are loving this newfound freedom of movement and are going all over the place. We often have to go after you and bring you back to the places you are allowed to be. I am having trouble taking the monthly photo of you with the blocks as you are grabbing them and knocking them down faster then I can position them! You are as talkative as ever and show a lot of joy and excitement when someone you know arrives. Your version of a hug is to lean your head into someone and we think it’s the cutest thing. This month you had two more teeth come in (bringing the total to eight) and are (very slowly and messily) learning how to eat with a spoon and drink out of a cup. It is amazing how much can change in only a month!
