I keep telling myself that I do not write enough about Yuri. He changes so quickly, and one phase comes to replace another, and what seemed to have lasted forever quickly fades away in my memory.
When I get my camera, I will capture a lot of moments of his life in a totally different way.. But how can I capture his voice, his words, his reactions, his likes and dislikes? I have to be more organised and make regular records!!!

His "domik" phase is over, once he's mastered it, he is no longer interested, full stop. Then his next passion was counting, and even a stronger one - colours. He loves colours, we constantly talk about what colour is everything around us.. Couple of days ago he said the he is blue, and when I asked him what colour his grandma is, he said "white". He also loves books - Thomas and Dora are on top of the list these days.

And he loves music, he knows which CD has which song, and always demands an exact song that he wants to be played.. He is also singing, which is lovely.

When he is happy, he demonstrates it with a little dance, which makes us laugh, and he laughs too, as knows how cute he is… He's been a pretty happy boy lately.. And he still says "I love you" all the time.

He stopped sleeping with the rabbit, but he keeps the little monkey,., it definitely is his favourite, as sometimes he would offer it food/drink, put it to by breast, or even let the monkey kick his favourite ball.

He still loves crisps (baaaad!!!).. And recently he is in love with the canned corn.. Would not eat anything else. So we had to get the stock, so at least he does not starve.

He is talking so much now, we have little chats about simple things.. Sometimes he erupts cute little phrases (in English, of course) - I've had enough, Mommy look at me, Yuri big boy, Yuri be careful.. He confuses "My and I", so it's very amusing to listen to him. I speak Russian and he responds back in English… how does his little brain work - this will remain a mystery.

I love him more than ever, he is my blessing, my joy, my pride and my little treasure.. Never thought having a child is that great!
