A little update...

Little Maia,

I think we may finally be seeing your first tooth soon! You have been a little irritable and tend to put anything hard or cold into your mouth. The other night at dinner we gave you a nice cold carrot which we had to take away for a second to cut up and make more manageable for you - you screamed so loudly your little hands were trembling! You do know how to make yourself known and do express yourself if you're not happy with something. I hope that you will keep that feistyness when you're older.

This morning your item of choice was a dog chain.


You have learnt to sit up in bed and will do so as soon as we put you down to sleep. You will sit up, scream for a bit, play with your bunny, scream some more and then fall asleep folded over yourself. Sometimes you will sit up again and cry for a second, then slump back down, like a baddie in a spoof horror movie.

It looks mighty uncomfortable but you seem to be able to sleep that way. Last night I made the mistake of coming into your room to lay you flat, which only lead you to have a major meltdown. I will leave you be from now on!

On Sunday night you entertained us all by reading us a story over dinner.



This week you've also discovered the sound "FFFF" which seems to be your favourite, after "Da!" and "Neh!". I keep trying to get you to say "Ma-ma" but you look at me and just smile or shake your head. I cannot wait to hear you say it!

You're very curious and are quite mobile now. You seem to prefer shuffling on your bum instead of crawling, probably because the wooden floor downstairs is quite slippery. Tonight I caught you snooping around our drawers:


And then doing some paperwork:
