He's even started making up actions to go with his favourite rhymes!

Leo was a very happy boy today. I've no idea why, but he spent a lot of time, playing, smiling and "talking". He's getting quite adept at making funny noises and his repetoire is certainly increasing. He enjoys listening to new sounds too, so today I read him his first book at bedtime, " We're going on a bear hunt ", by Michael Rosen. It's a great book for little ones with lots of repetition and plenty of fun sounds. As you can see, Leo was fascinated.
