Moo

Clara's new thing now is to 'moo'. She has a picture of a cow over her bed and she 'moos' at it (well, actually it sounds more like 'mmmmm'). Last night in the middle of the night she even woke up and started mooing at it. And she's also started mooing at other things too - dogs and cats etc.

She's also learned to 'kiss' and blows us kisses when she feels so inclined. It's soooo cute!

And she loves to mimic lately. She mimics sounds she hears - like Grandad slurping his tea, or Granny sighing after climbing up all the stairs. Very funny. But the funniest one was when she mimicked the mixer when I was making something the other day. She actually did a very realistic rendition of an electric mixer!

She's gotten the hang of this swinging thing too. Granny and Grandad took her back to the park for a second attempt - not only did she enjoy it this time, but she even figured out how to make it go back and forth by swinging her legs after watching an older girl do it!

Today was a Big Day. She spent the whole day (10-6) alone with Granny and Grandad while Mummy and Daddy went to a day spa! (I had a gift certificate) It was the longest we'd ever been apart and I missed her the moment I closed the front door! She, however, didn't seem to notice my absence at all until 6pm, when she started asking for 'mumma'. Fortunately, we got home just after that so it wasn't too traumatic (for anyone!). She was so happy to see me that she gulped down her milk so quickly that she immediately puked half of it back up on me afterwards. How sweet!
