New Milestones

Things are happening really fast and on my holiday in Bali I reached a few new milestones...

My first motorbike cruise: much to my mother's consternation, I was "abducted" by the friendly local staff at the resort who took me cruising down to the village on their motorbike, 3 of us in tow - typical Bali style.

My first doggy bite: I got really friendly with a little puppy called Ubbie. I sreamed and giggled with excitement when he licked my foot and I grabbed at his fur. He gave me a friendly nip on the foot to say goodbye.

Standing: I am now standing alone. Initially I pulled myself up on something then let go and balanced for 10 seconds or so before sitting down or grabbing hold again. But now I can push myself up off the ground and stand alone with no support.

Waving: This week also saw my first (intentional) waving. Now, if you're lucky enough, I'll wave back if you wave at me.

Jumping: If I get excited, like when Ubbie was playing with me, I jump up and down on the spot, uncontrollably - usually with a few little yelps of joy.
