Elsie is giving proper kisses! It is the loveliest thing I have ever seen. She has been kissing Rob and I on our noses this morning and laughing, it is just so gorgeous! She is so clever, it is amazing to see her learning all these new things. She is doing duck noises, and she knows to do it when she’s looking at the ugly duckling book, and with her ducks in the bath, which are two very different duck things, but she still knows they make the same noise.

It is so funny too to see her little ways, some of which are like me (love of cheese, love of sleep!), some of which are like Rob (everything in its place, excessive cleaning (she tried to clean the ground in the garden with baby wipes yesterday!)) and some of which are just Elsie. She is definitely pushing the boundaries and being naughty sometimes, but you can see she’s just figuring the world out, and sometimes when we say no she even seems quite pleased, especially if it’s something we’ve said no to before, because the world makes sense.

More pictures from my phone, this is from a couple of weeks ago, check out the great light!
