Again i must apologise for the lack of posts, i have been dealing with a throat infection all week - of course if happened the same week DH had a stomach bug (which of course was soooo much worse that my illness) but also the same week i had planned a massive “winter clean” of the house. I know i should of put it off but i had been planning it for days and just couldn’t .
Eilidh has been having a couple of rough nights to so of course the lack of sleep has’t been helping (thankfully Rebecca has been sleeping like an angel), i got a great nights sleep last night which is probably the reason i feel almost better today.
Now onto the actual post 
As we lead up to Eilidhs first birthday she is changing and growing each day, this week i have noticed big changes in her ability to understand and follow instructions. Simple stuff like “get the ball” “close the door” . The other day we were going out and i told her she still needed a jacket on - she went straight to the cupboard and pulled out *two* jackets and they were the correct ones (think it helps that it was the last two jackets in there). She brought the jackets to me and we all went out.
On Wednesday DH took Rebecca to playgroup, when they left Eilidh ran to the door (and she is is more or less running now) shouting “dada, Be-Ba” - after a few moments she went and grabbed her shoes and came and sat on my lap with them wanting me to put the on.
I could give dozen of other examples - she really is’t a baby anymore is she?
