7 months



Current hobbies: riding around in our new Ergo baby carrier (I highly recommend it, comfy on front and back); honing newly-discovered ability to sit on her own; getting up on her hands and knees and rocking back and forth (the 'rooting wombat' position!); eating paper and plastic bags whenever she can get her hands on them, also likes to pull wet wipes out of the box and suck on them while I'm not looking... has a strange shoe fetish and has them in her mouth too given half a chance.

Fave foods: apart from paper and polythene bags, loves fruit - pureed apples, and pears; mashed nectarine, peach, apricot, banana, avocado, (likes avos best mixed with banana, but ate a little bit on its own yesterday - her brother still won't touch the stuff!), ... now eating yogurt, and cows milk on cereal; likes pumpkin, carrot, sweet potato, courgette but not too keen on broccoli (brother's favourite); has eaten chicken casserole and beef & lentil bolognese but less keen on these strong flavours and needs a lot of veg blending up with them before she'll open up the gob! Currently on 3 meals a day and 4 breastfeeds, for anyone who's interested in these things... looking to cut down to 3 breastfeeds at some point in the next couple of months.

"...followed by the prawns, and a glass of house white please. Oh, and could I have a basket of bread and some water please. Thanks."

"It's very nice here.... zzzzzzzzzzzzz"

Ta-dah!
