Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin' into the future!

OK...so not a long one...but one filled with wonder, awe and bafflement at how fast things move in baby-world. Miss Madeleine has been suffering from grotty-bumism of late. Grissling and grumping her way through a good part of the day. Yesterday while rubbing some teething gel onto her gums felt the suspicious sharpness of a tooth emerging (which would explain why feeding her is not always as comfortable for Mummy as it might be) - so by this afternoon you can see the top of the whole tooth (and someone's mood has started to improve - although the drool quotient is still pretty high!)! Can't believe how fast things keep moving.

There are some other developments which also are mind blowing:

- holds herself up on the edge of her crib

- sits up in a pillow and for brief spells on her own before slowly tipping forward (as if in slow motion) onto her forhead (don't worry we only practice this stance when she is on a soft surface!)

- has been able to identify all the really painful hair on Mummy's head to pull

- allows Mummy to put her under the water in the big girl's bathtub! (Splish splash we like to take a bath!)

- laughs spontaneously at a variety of things in a way that melts our hearts every time

- chats, and chats, and chats and chats (repeat)!

So it is very exciting at our time!
