this week's new things

Naomi is so much more ready to try new things than either she was before or her brother. This week she has taken a liking to both Sainsbury's tomato pasta salad, which we've had for a couple of picnics, and their coleslaw. Both she has consumed with gusto whenever they have been on offer and sometimes not if she can steal more than she is allowed from someone else's plate!

She is definitely now having conversations with people. It is still mostly babble but she has the inflection of a question on many occasions and waits for your reply before saying something else. Also she will sit with a book and babble to herself as she turns the pages, pointing to letters and words as she has seen us do. It is SO cute.

And she will continuously repeat a new word as if she is attempting to work out the correct pronunciation. Sometimes she is very nearly there - this week with trousers - and sometimes she is very far off - her attempt at tortoise was hilarious. But you can see the thought processes coming out in her speech.

I LOVE this stage!
