		<description><![CDATA[What an amazing difference a year makes.
At one corrected (15 months actual) last year, we thought she might possibly be trying to say &#8220;cat&#8221; - but it was neither clear nor consistent so we weren&#8217;t sure.
As it turned out, she was trying to say cat.  Since then, her progress has been astounding.
This week we had [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Talia has become a complete hoot since she got the gift of the gab. She comes out with new things every day and I have to say it is the most amazing time, you can see her soaking things up like a sponge - and squirting them all back out again.

		<description><![CDATA[Talia is a master of doing things differently to your average or textbook baby.  As we sometimes say at home, &#8220;we don&#8217;t do normal&#8221;. 
Her first word was &#8220;cat&#8221;, and she said &#8220;okay&#8221; (yes) weeks before she learned to say no.  It was starting to bother me that, even with a vocab which [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today, by complete coincidence, we had 2 appointments at the child development centre.
Audiology - a follow up from one last winter, to be sure that the sluggishness at that time was only due to a cold and nothing else.
Talia turned to hear all the sounds played - they asked if I wanted them to actually [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In a lovely development this month, Talia has started singing!  She doesn&#8217;t do it much on her own, but joins in when I am singing at home or in the car.
So far her repertoire includes:
- Old McDonald - she does the animal noises and the e-i-e-i-o
- Galumph Went the Little Green Frog - she [...]]]></description>

We went to a concert a week ago where they sang a Paul Kelly song called &#8220;Meet me in the Middle of the [...]]]></description>

She took her first hesitant little steps two months ago, and could often be persuaded to walk while holding on to our hands. It was clear there was [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ages ago I read an interesting article about &#8220;wonder weeks&#8220;. Apparently babies go through predictable stages where they spend a period of time being fussy - unusually clingy and difficult - followed by a period of time when they are much happier after passing through a stage of development.

We&#8217;ve definitely had one of those wonder [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Talia&#8217;s vocabulary is continuing to expand at an unprecedented rate.  I must confess that prior to the last couple of weeks, I had read articles saying how toddlers may know hundreds of words by the time they are 2 and thought &#8220;I can&#8217;t believe that&#8221;.  But now I&#8217;m a believer!
Before I forget them all, I [...]]]></description>

Our goal of walking before Christmas now looks more likely!  She has been a barefoot baby (just in socks over winter) all her life, but I&#8217;m putting her in little sandals [...]]]></description>
