Climbing, teeth and, this time, bugs!

The gum covering the bottom tooth that's been poking out for ages has at last split a little! You can't see anything but you can feel the tiniest bit of a sharp point. I thought this day would never come, lol!

She's been a bit unwell over the past few days. She was sick on Thursday night a couple of times, thick stuff that she had to force out. And for a couple of days she had a really watery bottom. Not sure if it's all related to teething or a bit of that and a bit of a bug. She hasn't wanted any finger foods (won't eat her morning toast, or her sandwiches and fruit etc. at lunch) but it happy with the mashed stuff and has had an extra bottle in the day. Her gums are obviously bothering her.

And since the last post she's not really attempted the stairs again. She's been happy to stand at the bottom one having a little bop and a shout! Being the bad mother that I am, I was tidying up the living room last night when she crept out and by the time I went to see where she was (her voice was getting a bit distant!) she was half way up the stairs! I stood behind her and she made it all the way to the top, even round the corner at the top. Urgh. It's exciting but a real pain!! It's also difficult because you have to go down two stairs to get into her bedroom so I can no longer leaving her playing in her bedroom in case she falls! Guess she'll just have to play in Noah's room and, shock horror, touch all his stuff!! ;)

She is also regularly saying her first proper word (other than Mumum & Dadad). When you give something to her she says 'datder' which is her way of saying thank you. She's always enjoyed a game of us giving her something, saying thank you and then her passing it back to us and saying it again and she's picked up on it bless her as she says it every time. Such a sweetie pie!
