There's such a lot that I want to comment on there.
I've never really taken LLL seriously. A bit too militant in *appearance* for my tastes. They need better PR.
The bus thing. I did for the first time last week. Bus drivers being in a hurry to get on was something I remembered from 15 years ago. When I paid, I told him to wait while I stashed the buggy and got Rhiannon safely sat before pulling away please. He did.
Feeding her while sat on the pavement.. yep I'm that confident now too. It seems as though it comes to you with experience. The tot-seat looks to be something I wish I'd heard of 6 months ago. Rhiannon's happy in high chairs or on knees so it is probably too late to try.
Language.
I don't recall how many words Rhiannon had at 14 months or how many of them were recognisable by people outside her direct circle. At that age we tended to rely on signs and there were about 50 of them, but they're a different skill. We're at a *stage* at the moment. Phrases are being put together. Rarely more than three words per phrase, but the phrases then get put together.
