Cuddling, climbing and standing alone

Alex has started to cuddle her soft toys. I can't quite decide whether she does this because she likes to or because she already knows that it makes all the adults around her go "Ahhhhhhh". It is very cute regardless of motive.

At the moment the spare duvet is in a nice canvas bag in the front room and it is giving Alex the step up that she needs to climb onto the chaise. Mum was training her to climb down from things feet first instead and three times out of four that's what she does. Of course the fourth time she just launches herself head first off
the edge but there you go.

She can now stand up on her own for milliseconds. Entire milliseconds. Well it's a start.
