I’m having trouble keeping up to date so I thought that I might just try and do some little posts when Amelynne does something cool that I want to share and record for posterity. She is learning so many things and making great connections. Here are three that she has done recently:

Just Walking

Amelynne learnt to walk on Saturday night. By Sunday she was carrying around a couple of blocks and then by the end of the day she was carrying some quite large books around quite easily. On Monday I heard some grunting and banging and then Amelynne emerged from the kitchen carrying her very large highchair tray and looking very pleased with herself!

Blocks

The Dixon fam lent Amelynne a very fancy cube toy that plays different music when certain blocks are placed in the middle. After playing with it on and off for one morning, she had worked out not only where the blocks need to go to make it flash and play music, but which way up they needed to go.

Emotions and connections

I love watching all the connections that Amelynne is making at the moment while sorting out her world. I made a passing comment to her about something being sad and she frowned and made a sad whimpery noise. I was very impressed so asked her if she knew what happy is and she grinned and laughed! I was impressed enough with that but she then went and got her book called ‘How is Baby?’ about emotions and then sat down to read it.
