Shape sorting - SQUARE !

I have finally seen Jasper fitting a SQUARE block into a square slot today. He has been doing circles a long time ago and it has taken him so long to do other shapes. He was using both hands to fit a SQUARE block into the square slot. I bought a Shape-O sorter for him, it has 12 different shape blocks and corresponding slots/holes. Even I get quite bogged down by this shape sorter. He has just started to appear a little bit *constructive* as we often see him destroying things, messing things up and knocking things over only. Meal times appear to be a lot easier now as we just feed him whatever we are having even spicy food! He has just had (meat of) two chicken drumsticks, one biscuit and 7 oz of milk for dinner. The things in the nappy tell us he cannot digest carrot AT ALL. We went to inspect some of the storage solutions this afternoon, it is actually quite affordable compared with the high cost of buying/renting new place or moving elsewhere - both Andrew and I have agreed to store away our junk currently in our study room and free up the study room for Jasper, and this will be something we hope to achieve before the summer comes. Things don't quite work for us at the moment because almost the whole of our living room is a giant playpen fenced off by stocked low-bookcases, and I think Jasper is old enough to sleep and play in a room of his own. No new pictures because the weather has been very glum and we didnt go anywhere interesting with baby.
