Tallulah Bluebell is 7 months!

An update is most definitely in order! The longer I leave it, the more there is to tell and more time needed to write!

Tallulah has finally nodded off for the night, and I am quickly grabbing the bull by the horns and doing a quick little post before bed, i think i have a few minutes before my eyes close into dreamland!

This is going to be a Hooly McHooly-Muffin Tuffin Scruffin post. Miss Tallulah Bluebell is now a whopping 7 months and a few weeks old, and my my is she a wonderful busy little banana, she is keeping me on my toes! As i wrote before she has started crawling and has been now or the past month, she is getting quite fast in her determination to get about! Also, 2 weeks ago she starting pulling herself up to standing in the cot/furniture/people and now this is the new best game ever, she spends most of her time standing at the bookcase and sofa investigating Dvd players and remote controls, i keep trying to tempt her to come and play stacking cups/read books but the ipod audio cable is much more appealing.

One not nice thing is that she keeps wanting to suck on shoes. Max usually leaves his by the back door and I put them away in the downstairs bathroom when I see them, but on a few occasions when Max has been about more and I haven't been quick enough, she gets his dirty shoes that he has been tramping about in London for the past 6 months and manages to give them a good licking by the time i dive accross the room and take them away!

Oh well, all good for the immune system...

Tallulah has got more hair now, which is lovely and tufty and accompanied by two little sharp bottom teeth! The week they came through was slightly hellish to say the least. This week has been pretty rocky too with a top tooth 'winking' at us through her swollen gum! Some babies appear to sail through the teething phase, popping teeth out willy nilly without a grumble, but we seem to experience exactly the opposite, poor little Tallulah Berry. She sobs, shuts her mouth tight, refues boob and food, wrings her hands, pulls her ears, wakes every night hour & generally cries most of the day/night. Now i know that this is what is going on I am thoroughly prepared with homeopathy, love & a warm Mummy bed!

She sleeps in our bed 90% of the time anyway though.

One of my favourite things at the moment, is when she is accross the other side of the room and crawls up to me with a massive toothy smile and her innocent bright sparkling eyes, best thing ever....

off to cuddle her now.

night night
