Raspberries and more (Anna)

Emma has taken to blowing raspberries on our bellies, and then dissolving in fits of giggles :)

She is learning to jump. She can't quite get both feet off the ground at once, so does a kind of galloping action.

She has a vocab of at least 50 million words...some of which are even English.

With books she knows very well, she can fill in the end of most of the rhymes.

She goes up to the concrete lions outside some of the houses in our neighbourhood, and says "Rarrrrr" at them.

She did her first poo on the potty today.

She loves to be cuddled like a baby and sung "Rock a Bye Baby" (which she calls "Rocka-baby")

She likes to stand on her head (with her feet still on the ground)

She can play "Mum's turn/Emma's turn" for hours.

She is perfecting her toddler behaviour - learning how to make her armpits disappear and dig in her heels (literally) so that it's impossible to pick her up. She can screech very loudly when she wants to. Yesterday, the trigger was her rain boots.

She is affectionate and fun and silly and learning about the world very, very quickly.
