Our daughter has new dance moves. She has loves dancing and will dance to pretty much anything. She dances at adverts, songs on the radio and even the tune of the ice-cream van.
Until recently she had 2 moves, the bob (in which she stands and bounces up and down without moving her feet) and the sway (in which she stands and sways side to side).
Her new move is an improved sway. She sways side to side but this time with her hands in the air above her head. She sometimes even lifts a leg as well.
It doesn't look gracefull but it does make my wife and I laugh and she loves it. The concentration on her face is funny too.

MMR
Our daughter had her MMR (Measles, Mumps & Rubella) jabs a couple of weeks ago and we were warned that she could be poorly for a couple days in about 7 to 10 days.
Well after about a week she started to develop a few spots around her neck and across her shoulders. They looked like a fine, elaborate necklace. She then suffered with a temperature and she had this for about 36 hours, however it coincided with the hottest week of weather we've had all year and at first we thought it was that.
All these signs/symptoms were over in 3 days. She never seemed out of sorts, under the weather or unwell. She just had the physical signs.

Bath Time
Every day I give my daughter her bath, this is because my wife gets to spend much more time with her and I love spending as much time as I can with her.
Our bath time routine starts with me washing her hair, then washing her body and finally brushing her teeth. She is then allowed to play with her toys until I feel or she tells me she wants to get out. During this play time I have seen her put her hands in the water and then rub her hair as if she is trying to wash it. She also puts her hands in the water and then rubs her tummy as if she is trying to wash herself as well. It is so cute and adorable.

Growing Up Fast
Our daughter is growning up so fast. She is now running everywhere, talking non-stop in a language only she understands and trying to do things for herself (little Miss Independent).
Tonight is the first time she has spoken to anyone on the phone. We have put the phone to her ear before but she has never said anything before. I believe this is because hearing a voice at the other end confused her. She is beginning to get the hang of it and I am wondering whether it was such a good idea. She wonders round the house her phone clamp to her ear chatting away.
My wife has let her play with her mobile phone recently and twice now my daughter has managed to leave a voicemail on my mobile phone. I have kept them as I find they cheer me up. She always makes me smile.

Bounce, Bounce, Bounce
Our daughter has developed a desire to bounce on everything. She bounces on the sofa, our bed, her cot and even the dog's bed and she has nearly fallen off the sofa and our bed with her bouncing. As a result we have have bought her a little something to that she can bounce on to her heart's content. A trampoline.
This trampoline is great and ideal for as a first one. It is small enough to fit in and average size lounge and is designed for a 12m - 36m old child. Our daughter loves it (that is not her in the picture by the way). If she's not bouncing on it she's using it as a sit to eat things off.I would recommend anyone with a child who likes bouncing to get one. It will save on getting a new bed, cot, sofa or all 3.

Christening
Well it has been a week since our daughter was christened. The service was lovely and we had close family and very close friends only at the service. There were a couple of little worries like a godmother and godfather cutting it fine to get to the church and my wife getting stressed in our kitchen when everyone came back to our house for food. Once everyone had been fed she calmed down.
Our daughter was extremely good and loved every moment of having her photographs taken. She is such a poser. She loves looking at herself in the mirror. She looked gorgeous in her dress (because of the material it was made of she was difficult to hold when she wriggled) and she wanted to get to her friend Louis (who is 6 weeks older than her and is the son of her hairdresser - see previous post). They hadn't seen each other since her birthday.
Thankfully the service lasted about 20 minutes and the rain held off until early evening.

First Haircut
I know it has been a long time since I posted on here but I have been working lots and looking after the family through our collective illnesses. We are all better thankfully.
Anyway this week my daughter had her first haircut. I say haircut, it was more of a trim and even then it was just the fringe. It kept getting in her eyes and when wet it reached her top lip.
It was cut by a friend of ours that has trained as a hairdresser but now only cuts her family's and close friends hair. My wife came home with the hair in an envelope. It will be put into her keepsake box along with her hospital identifaction band and many other items.
