Birthday Party

Busy schedule for Theia. Attended the 80th birthday party of Stella Griffiths. Been visiting Tadcu and Grandpa as they have been unwell. Theia has had her regular checks with the midwife and all is well. We continue to go for walks around the block. Theia has become much more steady on her feet and prefers to try and stand now. She also has some top teeth coming through. Yesterday she said 'Da Da; for the first time and she also said 'Hiya'. Still very sociable and fun. Better sleep patterns and trying out different foods.

Menace At Work

Theia is moving around a lot more. She is very tactile and gentle. Getting more confident on her feet and developing a great sense of humour. Theia loves her food and has been fed largely a vegetarian diet. She loves being taken around the village in her buggy and seeing all the sites. Sleep patterns are becoming more regular and sleeping for longer. We believe that taking her out in the fresh air aids this. We go out in all weathers and the buggy is well equipped for sun, rain or whatever the elements throw at us.We will soon be placing some of the Montessori materials in the room for her to explore.

Cool Summer

Theia has been enjoying the sunshine. Keeping cool in her favourite place 'The Bath'. We have been putting her outside to sleep in the fresh air and she seems to sleep for a lot longer. Plenty of shade in the garden and there is a lovely breeze too.
 

My Brother

Theia asleep after a long day. Her brother Elkanah is holding her. Theia is now sitting up comfortably, crawling competently and she is pulling herself up to stand. She is also taking a few steps with help. She has begun mouthing more sounds and her fine motor control is excellent. 

Theia is eating really well. We tend to feed her mainly organic food and use a lot of fresh fruit and veg, which is steamed. She also like to drink organic juice and good old fashioned tap water. 

It is hard to believe that she will soon be 1 year old. That year has flown by. I hope you continue to check in on her progress as we start to use some of the Montessori materials with her.
