Nine months

Everything in the mouth at the moment. I’ve tried all day to get a photo of Rose showing off her brand new teeth, but to no avail. So maybe next monthly update!

Crawling is ever so almost there. It’s tantalising when she leans forward as if to take off in one direction and then gives up and flumps onto her belly. She prefers to cruise along by holding on to the edge of the sofa.

There are now words, too. “Ba ba ba ba ba” mainly, with the occasional “ma ma” for a change. This has been a month where so much has happened and it’s as if she’s suddenly grown up a bit. Though she’ll always be the baby.
