Elsie has said her first word!! If your definition is that she has said a word and connected it with some meaning, then I think she has. And this momentous word is…. Moo! We have been playing with her barn full of animals quite a lot recently – with lots of baaing, neighing and mooing (which must be the easiest of those noises to make). This evening she started saying ‘moo’ when she picked up her cows – it is so exciting!

This is a picture of Elsie in her hat that Lorna brought all the way back from Peru - she looks so cute in it but she will never leave it on for more than 3 seconds at a time!
