Sneaky!

Today we stayed in all day due to the rain - except to pop to b and q to get cupboard locks!
Mandy came round with Hannah and we had cuppa and catch up - I've just finished doing some sewing repairs i really am bad on the machine - have 3 dresses to take up so have left and will hopefully get a lesson from mikes mum later in the week.
Melody surprised us by trying to get in the cupboard since being in her walker (which she now loves - even tho we weren't going to get one due to bad press but thought she needed something to occupy her when we are in the kitchen as mike laid a solid slate floor in the kitchen - too hard for babies heads
Other things melody has surprised and delighted us with recently
- clapping! Firstly on 2nd April as a one off then on my birthday she copied!
- said Dada today :) Mikey chuffed even tho she doesn't know what she's saying I told him! amazing as she is very quiet on the dabbling front really
- copying brick clashing and knocking down a tower of bricks
- pincer grip this week
- being settled by daddy - yay! Again tonight he got her to sleep
- pulling herself up today totally alone - she has being doing this on us or using our arm or leg for a while but today I left her sat upright next to couch and when I turned around she was fully stood up next to the couch!
A week of progressions :) very proud of all her little leaps forward but I wouldn't remember in future when she did what when and her 'book' has very specific things in - this is a great little record of all the other little things she is learning :)
