11 months old today

...only 1 month til the big 1 year mark!!

I have finally managed to catch up on my blipping! Amelie has been a rascal at bedtime and we have been struggling to get her down then she has been waking lots. I think it was partly her teeth and partly two disruptive weekends away but now I think we are getting back on track. Anyway this has tired me out and the more blips I had to back blip the more I put it off and the worse it got so I just didn't do it!!

New things Amelie has been doing include;

- saying mummy, daddy (addy), ta, yes, hi, bye and a new one yesterday...whale (although it sounds like ayyyuull I know its definitely what she is saying)
-doing the actions for wind the bobbin up
-clapping whenever I say 'well done' or 'clap' or when someone else claps
- walking holding onto only one of our hands (she refused to do this a month ago)
-laughing a new 'fake' laugh as well as giggling lots more (she is a very serious child at times!)
-hugging and kissing toys
-standing at the big window that looks down on the walkway waving and saying 'aiii' (which could be hi or could be bye...depending whether they are coming or going I guess!)
-climbing...anything. On and off the bed, onto Boo the dog, onto Lamby, onto the coffee table, onto Lamby and then onto the tv table (although we did manage to stop this before she got up there), into the dishwasher (again, she was halted in her efforts)....
