Another overdue post. 🙂 And lots more coming up – I try to update the blog whenever I can…

The first time she sat up on her own from a lying down position was on 9 March 2009.

And the next day, she sat up another three times on her own.

Songs we sang in conjunction with the teaching of ‘ants’ and the letter A were:
