Update on my little flower

So Daisy is almost 10 months old and is developing so quickly, I can barely keep up! She is now pulling herself up on everything and cruising around the furniture. She can also walk really well with the v-tech walker...which I find amazing, as Jamie didn't master it til almost 15 months.



Her latest tricks are clapping and waving - she understands the phrase "clap your hands" and will oblige happily.




Her sleep has been a lot better recently - we usually only get one wake up a night now, although she does wake for the day pretty early, around 6am. This is fine in the week, but I could really do with her sleeping a bit later at weekends. Still, I shouldn't complain - I'm just glad we're not having the 3 wake ups and staying wide awake thing anymore.



She's just a joy, so happy and content and smiley. She and Jamie are playing together more and more - his favourite game is "Daisy chase me", which involves him running into a room, waiting for her to crawl after him, cracking himself up laughing and then running away to somewhere else. The sound of the pair of them giggling and laughing is just magic.

As much as I love seeing her grow and learn new things, it's tinged with a little bit of sadness that her babyhood is slowly slipping away. It honestly seems like yesterday that she was a tiny little thing lying in her moses basket on the kitchen table, sleeping most of the day away. Which is why I love sneaking into the bedroom when she's asleep and having a look at her in her cot - because when she's asleep in her babygro, inside her grobag, she looks like a little baby again...it's like stepping back in time for a moment.
