As always with the monthly posts, it's hard to find a photo - as always, Tim has nabbed all the good ones for other posts! But here's our girl concentrating hard as she drinks from a big glass. This is definitely one of her new skills: we have to be on hand to steady the glass as she's not great at putting it down afterwards, but there may come a time where we no longer need sippy cups...
The biggest thing this month is Marisca's new-found sense of independence. 'Marisca do it' is becoming a common phrase. While this is lovely to watch, sometimes it becomes a little difficult when she wants to dress herself/climb the slide by herself/put the cup down by herself - while she really wants to be independent, she hasn't quite worked out her limitations yet, and trying to explain that Mummy really needs to help because your t-shirt doesn't go on your legs/the slide ladder is rather high/you're likely to drop the cup doesn't go down well...
And the words! Marisca has new words every day. She's turning into a little chatterbox, which so far we're enjoying. It's lovely to know what she's thinking, and be able to hold a bit of a conversation with her. Her current favourite game is to say 'bye bye, that way' and poddle off out of the living room. After a few seconds she's back, to say 'hello!' and do it all over again. And again. And again...
Nice jumper
