Sorry to go on but it seems we have some breakthroughs in the last few days.... when I got in from work dd was eating pieces of banana - picking them up from her tray and eating them rather than being fed them.
We have been reading a book the last few nights with black and white photos of babies in and tonight she was first of all touching the words and then stroking the pictures... then she pointed at one of the babies - an actual pointing pose with her hand - NEVER done that before. THe book finishes with the phrase and this is the baby that I love the best with a mirror on the opposite page - DD always finishes with a smile and a kiss for the baby in the mirror. Tonight I also got the ba ba ba syllable... I am just so pleased and blwon away with her progress lately.
