Ok, so I'm sure it's just normal parental pride but it's been so lovely watching Audrey learn and develop over the last few weeks.
Suddenly, Audrey the baby has gone and a beautiful little girl has taken her place.
She's really a sponge when picking up words. For a while she's known how to say the words 'Dadada' and 'Mummy', but she's added a whole host of new ones (Amy read that at this age children can learn up to 10 new words a day).
It's amazing watching her describe animals and their noises and although we still sing 'Heads, shoulders, knees and toes' a little bit fast for her to take in, she does reflect on the song and say 'knees' and 'toes' at the end of us theatrically dancing in front of her.
She'll also sometimes pull words out of nowhere - words that you didn't think she had even taken in first time around. Sure, some words are still a bit of a blur - 'B' for example covers everything from 'bird' to 'book' to 'butterfly' to 'berries' but usually with her frantic pointing you can work out what she's trying to tell you before she gets frustrated with her parents' stupidity.
