11 months - Taking great delight
in trying to feed us your food.
Then a torrent of
language developing:
- Saying quack when playing with ducks 18/3/2019
- Saying Hiya, and up, signing for milk and food 2/4/2019
- Saying teddy and baa for sheep 13/4/2019
Being able to cuddle
us back at 13 months

Teddy, Baa, Hi, Bubble, mumumum, gone, granny, car, cup, banana, ball, hat,

First steps on 12
may in France at granddads house whilst dancing to music. Tumbling across the
living room into Mummy's arms chasing a rustling wrapper as Grandad encourages
you on.
14 months - Words: owl, rabbit and flower, signs nappy
Walking round great
granny's garden, being shocked when I throw the ball for you, laughing with
glee as I lift you to make you kick the ball to great granny. Great granny
being so pleased because you kept leaning out my arms to give her hugs and
kisses and wanting to be carried by her. More gales of laughter as we play boo
with great granny through the branches of the willow tree and she scampers
through them tossing them out the way and roaring at you as you laugh.
You running with
glee down the oak gallery at the Vyne making the room guides laugh on a day out
with Uncle Martin, Mummy and Daddy.
16 months - asking
for cuggles when you want be picked up, giving soppy kisses and saying aww
whilst we hug, just like we do to you. Asking to take teddies to bed and for
stories.

Waving at Mummy or
Daddy if they're sleeping to try and get their attention, trying to open their
eyes for them.
I'm so enjoying watching you develop your personality and character, your curiosity and telling me about what you're thinking even with your limited language, when you're just remembering bubbles or dogs, when there are none nearby to look at.
