She had attempted to use her walker for the first time a couple of weeks ago. Before that, she was more interested in the buttons on the front of it. But she stopped trying to use it once she fell over with it and it landed on top of her. Today though, she plucked up the courage to use it again, and for the past half hour, has been zooming around the house with it at warp speed. She’s well and truly mastered the walking/running with it.

She just needs to master turning it now, because until she figures that out, she’ll be ramming it into walls and crying with frustration because she can’t go any further- a bit like what she has been doing so far…

It’s so lovely watching her grab at her toys on her playmat. She used to only be interested in the musical sun, but she’s gradually becoming more interested in all the other things that hang off her playmat too (And there’s a lot of things… James decided that all things that could possibly hang, should be hanging. So now, she’s pretty spoiled for choice.)

Her latest favourite seems to be the rattle. As I sit here doing some work, I can hear her in the background trying to grab for it whilst talking to herself. It really is fab to watch. In fact, I’m going to go and watch her for a few minutes.

I’m going to try to make blog posts as often as possible. Some of them will be beneficial to me, and hopefully any readers I may pick up along the way. The majority of posts will be to document Freyja’s milestones, however minor they may be (Although to me, everything she does is a major milestone).

Like today for example, she was grabbing at her pink jingly bunny rabbit whilst watching her musical flashing sun. She’s been obsessed with the musical flashy sun ever since we switched it on a few weeks ago (It decided to break the other day, but James has successfully fixed it, so the addictive jingles are back). However, she’s never really tried to grab and keep hold of anything before. She’ll madly flail about and touch things in the process, but it always seemed so accidental. Today, it seemed as though her grab of the jingly rabbit was with total intent and purpose. So well done, Freyja

Apart from that, my day has been pretty chilled out. It’s consisted of a few bits being put on Ebay, doing an occasional wash load, and the rest of it, trying to get the annoying flashing musical sun jingles out of my head. To no avail though, seeing as James is currently singing them at me. Freyja is enjoying it though, so I’ll grin and bear it.
