Usually Isaac steals all the blog glory. I'm a bit tired though so this won't be long. Rosa is now nearly 10 months old. She is lovely and smiley, and becoming very robust. She has to deal with Isaac's increasingly possessive attitude about all his precious toys! She is probably not as verbally advanced as Isaac was at this stage but she is now saying 'Datdadadat..' and making a few more different sounds. She is VERY smiley and expressive, and Sonia is staying with us this weekend who has pointed out how thoughtful she is. Her big eyes, gazing out of the window thinking about...
She is so physically strong and agile, quite different to Isaac. He was fairly clumsy and had quite bad bruises on his head almost all the time whereas Rosa has barely fallen over. She is very smooth and controlled and will probably be walking in a few weeks. She has a very cute habit of holding her hands out as though she is begging or releasing a dove!!
A few more things about Rosa:
- She loves spoons. She crawled across the floor with one in each hand the other day - slap, slap, slap, slap
- She stands up for at least 30 seconds now without holding on to anything
- She eats really well, and wants to use the spoon
- She shrieks with excitement very very loudly
- She is a nutcase in the bath, and basically dives from end to end in a crazy frenzy
