Standing joke (not!)

Report just in from the swing park: Katy has been standing up unaided. Will attempt to verify this and provide corroborating photographic evidence a.s.a.p.

A doubling of output in the 6 weeks since my last post on this topic . Katy has reportedly just stuck her arms in the air and announced The moon lives up in the night sky!

It's Iggle-Piggle!

I did check and she had all ten digits when we went home. Subsequently I found a book in the library about an outing to feed the ducks, which has become an instant favourite.
