A round of applause for Margaux!

Margaux has developed a couple of new talents recently, including clapping! Sometimes it’s like she’s cheering herself on. So cute. She plays games where she claps and then waits for you to respond in kind, and then continues. She also does the same thing with shaking her head.

 

Margaux is so desperate to stand up these days! She’s got the crawling thing down pat… already I’m running around after her and having to make the house as free from low-standing moveable items as possible. Now she’ll grab any sturdy object and use both hands plus her mouth to try to get hold of it and use it to pull herself up. Oh, the frustration for her! And the gutter immunity…

Unfortunately, if I happen to be standing still and within crawling distance, often means my legs. Then she pokes her head through the hole and sees her landscape from this new perspective. Great fun for her; not so great for me when I'm trying to do the wash-up! Of course there have been falls forwards, backwards, and twisting sideways from this, but she literally keeps getting back on her feet and trying again. What a champion!
