Kisses!!

Alice sat playing with her blocks for ages; well actually pulling blocks, putting them in her mouth and then throwing them behind her in order to make room for the next one. She loves standing looking out the window and cruising backwards and forwards along the window. They're just the right height for her too.


Funny wee picture of her kissing. Not quite sure where she picked that up from.

Walking (OK, with help!!)

We're finding it difficult to keep up with Alice's development. We bought this wee toddle truck for her birthday, but as you can see she's getting a lot of use out of it already. We decided it would be really silly to wait when she so clearly can use it now. So yes, Pauline's days are spent chasing around the house after Alice now; we'd better get those stair gates up quick. The crash at the end sounds muuuuch worse than it was; just the sofa, nothing broken.

Rockey and teeth

For some strange reason, although Alice does enjoy rocking on Rockey, she would much rather stand to the side of him and rock him from side to side.

Also, she now has four teeth, all came in the past month. Hoping for a bit of respite now for a couple of months. You can just about see the bottom ones, they all not completely down yet, still a way to go, but at least she's not like me; sitting at one with no teeth.

Alice Crawling

Alice started crawling properly today. She's been having a go for the past few days, but today she crawled for quite a distance. She does flop back on her belly and commando style crawl along the floor when she wants to get somewhere quickly; like our bags when our backs are turned!! She is standing on her own for a few seconds at a time and can walk (slowly) holding onto one hand and cruises along the sofas. So wondering how long it's going to be before she's walking.



Only two months to go before her birthday!!! Where have the past ten months gone?
