Who's that happy little fellow!!!

Today has been another busy day, little one. Jo Jingles started back after the Christmas break, and after having been the baby of the group since September, you are now the 'big girl' of the team. There are some new Mummies and Babies - but you immediately recognised where we were and what was going on. You were very excited to see Olly, and when the music started, just like in church you decided you were going to sing along too!

There was quite a lot of of 'Dadadadada' to the music. The biggest challenge now is that as you know how to balance and stand up straight you are not content to sit on my knee. You were ok when the musical instruments appeared and were very happy to sit and bash your drum and sing along, but any attempt to get you to sit on the mat and clap hands was a non-runner! By the end of the 45 minutes though you were tiring out and a bit happier sitting down for 'This is the way the Babies ride...'

You still have no interest in trying to crawl - you'll sit quite happily on the floor at home, or in your chair if you have something to occupy you; and your favourite thing is sitting on someone's knee with a book. But given the choice you seem to prefer to stand up with someone supporting you under the arms. Everyone tells me we'll have our hands full when you are mobile, and something tells me from the twinkle in your eye they might be right!

Several of my friends babies never crawled. They went straight to walking. You better get ready...

Happy New Year Fiona!! Well I just got caught up on all of your lovely posts. Sounds (and looks) as though you had a wonderful holiday celebration! How special to share it with your sweet baby girl this year - isn't it so extra special?! I love all of your aspirations - I especially love that you call it an aspiration instead of a resolution - sounds much nicer:)They all sound great. Well baby kay could not be any cuter!!! I look forward to following along with you in 2009! Hope you are enjoying a wonderful week!
