Astrid's current stage

[ailbhe]

She weighs a bit more than 18lb / a bit less than 9 kg. She has seven teeth. Her hair is growing longer and the colour is more visible; it's slightly reddish, not wholly ginger but what friends call "strawberry blonde."

She is completely immersed in the Use Lion With Egg stage of development. It's ADORABLE.

She can't quite stand unsupported but she keeps trying. She can manage a second or two.

She loves solid food.

She loves me. She loves Rob. She loves Linnea. She loves Emer. She loves Lucy. She loves drinks. She loves clapping hands. She loves noses. She loves.

She sounds sheer heaven - you don't mention her vocabulary, but I dare say she is using, if not words as we know them, then meaningful noises?

I think she's going to start speaking English quite soon, yes.

The way they do.... James is definitely at the "meaningful noises" stage, and was heard to use several words correctly in context yesterday, although some of those may have been coincidence.
