With beard... currently trimmed relatively neatly.
Mrs is going through the woes of a baby who doesn't want her mummy out of sight. Although she's starting to get past that phase a bit now.
Evelyn is nearly 10 months old, has taken two unassisted steps and can say a number of small words.
Its fascinating to see all the small things she works out. Start by picking up objects and simply putting them in the mouth, then see what happens when you shake them, test what happens if you bang them on the floor and finally try picking up two objects and baning them together. More recent developments are a word association and action in clapping. I say clap and she claps. For ages she would take a toy out of the box or something from somewhere, play with it or look at it and drop it right there. Recently she's begun experimenting with putting the object back, starting with the pens I keep in my pocket which she's decided to try putting back instead of dropping and many other things. She'll give you an object she has if you hold your hand out and take it from you if you offer it.
One bad habbit she picked up from visiting cousins is dropping food off the side of the feeding chair. She simply picks it up, puts her hand sideways and immediately drops over the side. With her cousins it was a bit of a game but she doesn't seem to take any joy in doing it, she just does it as though it's the proper thing to do... Not sure how to get her out of that one.
She's in the top percentile for both height and weight at her age. Around 80cm long and 10kg. include the relatively early crawling and near walking and she can easily be mistaken for an older child. I'll have to find photos and post 'em.
