What will hopefully be the first of many!!
Wee M's moods have been improving somewhat over the past few days. We think it's still down to her teeth. The top two are progressing nicely, but the bottom two are still just poking out -- about where they were a month ago! Her hands are in her mouth a lot which must be an indication of her discomfort.
Wee M's language skills are really coming along well. She is understanding a lot of what we say - following almost all the simple instructions that we give (i.e. put this in the garbage, give this to Nana, go find Owl). She is repeating back almost any word that you ask her to. When spinning her in the swing this afternoon I asked if she was 'all done'; she said 'no, no, no, no, no!' shaking her head vigorously. Followed by big nods and 'again! again!'!! Finally after about 15 twirls, including one that was a little too fast, she concedes with a weary 'all done'!
Her sense of style is also starting to show. In the past day or two she has started to show her disgust when I don't choose the right outfit for her to wear. And, while in Walmart looking for a smaller pair of water shoes she had a complete fit when I wouldn't buy her the pink neon shoes and suggested a pair of boys sandals (which were the only ones that would fit her feet). She picked them out of the cart and threw them on the ground. Oh bother!
She's pretty liberal with her big blowie kisses, giving them out to pretty much anyone who will ask for one! Daddy gets lots over our Skype calls! Mummy asks for 'kisses for mummy' and her lips all scrunch up and I get little kisses - so cute :)
