Chloe's Busy Friday

Chloe is feeling alot better this weekend which can be seen in the increase in her activity levels. She is full on! She goes at a hundred miles an hour with no care for her own safety. Or the fact that I might want to sit down for a minute. As soon as I sit down with a cup of tea she is off in a different direction. We have to be really careful about keeping the house child proof. She keeps crawling up the corridoor at record pace. I couldn't find her the other day. When I did find her she was in her room playing with her toys. Very cute. She also likes to take toys off other babies and pull their hair. This is quite embarressing. I think she just wants to know what hair is!

Chloe also said her first word. She said 'Dad'. We have been trying to get her to say this for two weeks. Every other time we would go 'dad, dad, dad' and she would look at you and blow a raspberry. Then she would laugh. Then just out of the blue she went 'da'. Then she kept saying it because we would get so excited and eventually she said 'dadda' and 'dad'. We also think she can say 'hello'. I thought it was just us that thought that but a couple of people have also heard her say it. I think 'dad' is her first official word though. She can also wave, something she likes to do all day at anything she wants a reaction from. She waves at the cats everytime she sees them through the window. She also does a high five.

On Friday she started to move from one peice of furniture to another. She was so proud of herself. However this has led to her beginning to fall everywhere again. She had a big fall today and has an egg on her head with a straight line in the middle from the imprint of the skirting board. She is also kneeling without hanging onto things. This is very cute to watch. She bounces up and down to help keep her balance.

Tomorrow if the weather is nice we are going to have a picnic lunch at the park. Chloe can burn off some energy motoring around on the grass.
