Babb Bee

India's been forming proper vocal sounds for the last week. As well as the usual mono-tone screeching, we now have a new level of communication, with "bab bab", "da da" and "mum ma" echoing forth from her little mouth.

I'm sure it won't be long before she utters her first f word.

She is now on the cusp of crawling and the teething pains are back. No teeth yet and no current need to baby/bomb-proof the house. Her development review on Monday went well and she's apparently very tall for her age. Her new tricks include untying shoe laces, clapping to show her appreciation of things and shaking her head when you say "no". She also cries when I leave for work in the morning... which is nice.

The venue for India's naming party is booked. The date is set for the 18th of July. I've started on the first draft of the invite. If Vic gives it the nod, it'll be going out next week.
