Daisy the intrepid stair climber!

Eeeek! She's started pulling herself up to standing on the bottom step of the stairs and trying to climb upwards. Time to reinstate the stairgate I think! We've moved it onto the door of Jamie's room, so I suppose we'll have to buy a new one.







She's getting herself into everything at the moment, and her crawling is amazingly fast when she sees something she wants. Latest favourite is muddy shoes, yuk! The other day, I went out into the garden with Jamie very quickly, just to chuck a bucket of food into the chickens, and had left Daisy on the kitchen floor. A moment later, I turned back towards the house to see her trying to climb out of the back door!!

A little sleep update - we had a bad night on Sunday night, where she was awake from 1-3am and just would not settle unless I had my hand on her tummy. We tried leaving her to cry for quite a while, but she just got hysterical and her cry is soooo hard to hear - it's like a fear or pain cry - actually more of a scream than a cry. I think we both decided that controlled crying isn't going to work on her - especially not when she's in our room with us.

Anyway, last night I moved her into our big travel cot, and we had a much better night. She woke once at 3.45am - the longest stretch she's gone without waking for absolutely ages - and then at 6am. I noticed that she's rolled onto her tummy to sleep, so perhaps learning to sleep on her front is the breakthrough we needed. Fingers are tightly crossed!
