More cute things (Anna)

- pulling a pan out of the cupboard, toddling over to another cupboard, putting the pan on a shelf, patting it reassuringly, waving, saying "bye bye" and closing the door. 

- I was talking to her about her Grandad and joking that she needs to learn to say "Hi Grandad. Can I make you a cup of coffee?" before we go to Europe in four weeks time.  I asked her if she could say "coffee" and she started doing her silly fake cough. For the rest of the evening, every time I mentioned Grandad, she coughed. 

Lots more cute stuff, too, but no time. 

Back in the swing of things (Anna)

The longer we don't post, the harder it is, because there's so much to catch up on. Granny Heath's visit. Emma's several weeks of being sick. Caroline back at work, etc,etc. And I don't know if we still have any readers left anyway. 

So, in the interests of getting our momentum back, here's a quick post. 

10 adorable things that Emma is doing at the moment. 

- putting her lips on our cheeks and saying "Ma"; also blowing good night kisses

- pointing at cars and proclaiming gleefully "bus!"

- putting the TV remote to her ear and saying " 'ello"

- sitting on our laps with a plastic spoon and feeding us

- sharing her pacifier with us when she thinks we need comforting

- pretending to be asleep on our bed and then wriggling off and running away

- insisting on walking to the park rather than being carried

- passing us her favourite books to read...for the 20th time in 5 minutes

- doing the sign for help when she needs something (a relief from the grunting noise she was making before)

- bouncing up and down and dancing when she hears music
