well, she tends to get lost in the other posts!
She is a lovely happy child with lots of giggles. She does have a firm idea of what she wants, and isn’t averse to shrieking and heel drumming if she thinks that will help!
She has 7 teeth, and another coming though. She can walk [hooray!], gurgle and burble, and say ta, possibly mummum and daddad. She points to things, but doesn’t yet follow my pointing. She does know her name and SB’s. She is still breastfed – voraciously so, so I guess that means i have succeeded there, though I did stop expressing about 6 weeks before she was one, so she did have formula while I was at work- I just couldn’t face it. She eats but not brilliantly – better than SB ever did though! She canput a loaded spoon into her mouth. She is good at picking up tiny things.
For toys, she likes investigating things – so real mobiles and laptops are irresistable! She is keen on musical toys, and can get the drawer out and find the castenets, tambourine and recorder to play wiht. She adores her electronic musical toys too. Often jiggling along to them, or possibly singing?? She can stack some of her cups – and enjoys small tower building – 2-3 at most. She also likes the shape sorter, and can put in the round one. All the others she just tries to ram through. She hasn’t fully grasped that they need to come out of the side drawer, and that her little fist gets stuck when she tries to pull them back through the whole [very cute!]
Attention is like a ray of sunlight, and she loves it when SB plays with her, recently chase has become a good game, as well as singing action games.
Negatives? well, she doesn’t yet sleep through the night – sigh, and has a good line in scratching and biting.
Aaargh, SB has just uncovered loads of felttip matrks on new sofas – off to rage – they aren’t allowed on sofas, and should always have lids on.
