Eleni Plays Catch and Takes a Few Steps

This week we are pleased to report that Eleni has learnt to throw a tennis ball in the general vicinty of the person she is playing with. I was rolling the ball to her one day and she just picked it up and threw it back. Not just a fluke either as she decided this was a great game. She has also managed to kick the tennis ball a few times but needs more practice with this.

She has also taken her first real steps. The first 2-3 are ok and then it quickly becomes suicide steps with Mum or Dad needed to catch her midst fall. She gets so excited when she is walking holding onto your hand and makes these really funny happy noises. She is wanting to run but needs a lot more walking practice first!

Eleni’s New Tricks

Well Eleni has learnt to flush the toilet – she thinks it is great fun. She can bearly reach the handle but when she does she hangs all her weight on it and flushes. Hopefully this means she will be toilet trained early and we won’t have to change so many poopy nappies.

She also has a new favourite word ‘dad, dad’ and has discovered Christmas Trees. They have a big one in the local supermarket with flashing lights – very pretty.
