R has started biting me when she nurses. She has no teeth yet, but it is still pretty painful. To indicate her wants, she will stomp her feet and cry and shake her body. She is definitely getting more skilled in getting her wants!

Her favourite phrase is still DADA.... and her favourite source of food is still my breasts! She still wakes up 3 to 5 times at night.

She is definitely very mobile. She has started cruising faster along the furnitures, and she definitely loves walking with her wooden walker. She can stand alone momentarily and we are hoping that she will be able to walk soon! (We have already bought her a harness for that....!)

She loves cheery songs, and bounces to cheery rhythms. She squeals in high pitch, and she speaks gibberish.....which sounds like she knows what she's talking about... She hates the sound of my hair dryer, and will protest and seek her daddy's comfort when I switch it on. Her daddy seems to be her favourite person in the world now, as she freely breaks into toothless grins for him. She laughs and giggles real loud when playing with daddy, and her favourite time is their playtime when I am cooking.

R finds it amusing when hubby and I are affectionate with each other. She wants to be part of our hugs and kisses:) No sign of jealousy there though....so that's good news.
