Uh oh... I'll not be showing DH your lists any time soon or he'll get himself all paranoid that the worselet is behind, and needs additional coaching. I had to do the whole 'your child is an individual not a statistic' thing on him yesterday when she turned up her nose at yet more purée, but got ridiculously excited by the prospect of a far more acceptable foodstuff i.e. milk.
so, hmm, we have:
Rolling both ways, although this has diminished massively since the addition of toe sucking to the mix. It is v hard to roll when you have one or both feet in your mouth.
Toe sucking (see above)
Grabbing, grasping, holding on, yanking things (especially hair, my hair, not hers...)
Holding things in front of her face, examining them, and 'talking' to them
Cooing, shouting, conversational noises
Trying desperately hard to crawl, getting nowhere, and wailing in frustration
Sleeping through (I love her for this)
Smiles, laughs, giggles, happiness
Recognising me, DH and the dogs
An obvious personality, and a reasonably good routine
We do not have:
Sitting up, which given the size of her head is no big surprise. Poor child needs a splint.
Appreciation of any foodstuff other than milk
Self settling. She did this for the first time last week, but I don't think once counts, unless there is any sign it might be repeated, which there isn't
Recognising her name, basically she has never been called it
. I really must make an effort. Currently she has any number of names, not one of which is actually on her birth certificate.
As an aside anyone else noticed any funnies or traits? The tiddler is a true theatrical. Likes to lean back with the back of her hand on her forehead like a 1940s actress feigning a swoon, or to grab something and yank it backwards and forwards when eating. It's most bizarre.
