Alice does this all the time now. We say, "are you going to do a headstand?" and she goes straight into this position. Yesterday she let go of the chair she was cruising along, stood for a few seconds on her own and then slowly went down to crawling position!!!
She also has quite a few sounds now. Can you guess which is the first animal she recognises?!! Yep, the pig. Every time she sees a pig (and let's face it she sees a lot of pigs around our house, for those who don't know, Stuart has a thing for pigs, weird!!) she says "ggggg". Her bear "Fraserbear", she says "zazaza". Pancakes, she says "kkkkk", when Pauline drinks a cup of tea; or anyone has a drink of any sort, "ttttttt". She's just moving on to "pppp" for up and shopping and "bbbbb" for brush etc. Alice has moved from "ssssss" to "hasahasa".
We have also done baby sign language with her. Which is just amazing. She now tells us when she wants a drink and when she wants more food. She can sign mummy and daddy and nappy. We really must learn more signs and do them with her. It is such a great tool in helping her communicate with us. Really glad I saw Anna and Steve put it into practise with their girls.
Finding it difficult to keep up with her development at the moment.

surely pppp is for pink?!
If the word pink (ughhh) was in her vocab it would probably be kkkkkk, as she tends to copy the last sound of a word. She also likes the word duck and quack quack, again, kkkkkk.
One very disturbing development this week is that she has found the holes in her nose!!! So every time we say "where's your nose?" her finger goes straight up now!!! It is really funny though, but we try not to laugh as this would just encourage her more.
