new tricks

Sophie has a couple of new tricks now. She can catch hold of the toy dangling from her gym and hold on to it for a few seconds. She can kick her rubber ducky off the side of her bath, (and this happens invariably every bathtime! ) and she reaches out to touch her mobile that hangs over her cot. We are waiting for her to turn over by herself. She can manage to tilt herself about 45 degrees so it should be anytime now. Her favourite toy at the moment is a little pink poodle that Auntie Teresa gave her for Christmas. She loves looking at it, and will coo and talk to it. Today she has been such a droopy bunny it was difficult keeping her awake and she actually went to bed at 7.30! It remains to be seen whether she will sleep through to tomorrow or whether I will have to pace the floors later tonight, but I am optimistic!
