A portrait of my daughter, once a week, every week, in 2015
35 weeks old - Hands up
This photo isn't exactly in focus or particularly flattering, sorry my darling girl, but it does capture a very lovely moment. We were at your great grandpa's house eating afternoon tea with your great aunts, grandparents and second cousins and you were happily enjoying your food when you suddenly started raising your arms in the air like this. It clearly took great effort as you were physically and verbally straining to do it but when you saw everyone react by cheering and copying you, you continued doing it over and over again for a good ten minutes or so. We were all laughing hysterically, my stomach hurt from laughing by the end of it, and it was so nice to share one of your firsts with them all. Now you'll do this when your dad and I say yayyyyyyyy and it's just the cutest thing. Just like I wrote last week, things change so fast and you're picking up new skills all over the place and showing more of your personality with each one. You now also wave and clap, and follow verbal cues for those two too, so when we say hello or goodbye you will start waving and when I say 'clap clap clap' you start clapping. It's amazing to have concrete evidence that you are developing a really good understanding of what we are saying. You also will wave when you see your dad or I come in to the room and it's just so special, especially combined with the special big grin you reserve for us and especially for your dad when he comes home from work. We love knowing we're you're favourite people, just like you are favourite too.
