Development Update

We are just back from a nice walk into town and drop in at the library. Della is having a little nap and I thought I would give you a development update on the things Della can and cannot do!

So some of the things she can do:
  • Brush her hair and teeth
  • Dry her hands
  • Collect simons slippers as soon as he walks in the door and put them on him
  • Hang washing on the dryer (socks are the perfect size for her to out on right)
  • Pretend to be a monkey by shaking her arms and making a kinda monkey sound
  • Say dog whenever she sees one - this includes pictures of them in a book
  • Line up her small animals on her shelf and bring you the one you ask for
  • make a sound like a piggy whenever asked
  • Very nearly put her shoes on - although this can get frustrating for her (video below)
  • Have her milk out of her cup not her bottle (it's a sad time - no more cosy bottle in bed on a morning)
  • Use her spoon and eat her food by herself - although it is messy and takes a very long time
  • Say a variety of words including Mama, Baba (which is her word for Simon), Dog, row row (to command her favourite song) and apple. Although she mainly say 'Ba' for everything
  • Take her coat off if you help her with the first arm
  • Tidy up (worringly well!)

Some of the things she can't do:
  • Sit down by herself (although she does squat now and can sit down on your knee so that won't be long)
  • Stand up (she is showing no signs of being able to do this anytime soon)
  • Climb the stairs (she might get this within the next couple of weeks I think)

Here she is trying to put her shoes on:


And here are a few shots of Della mainly putting books away at the library...
