Over the last couple of weeks I have noticed just how much more my baby understands - verbally and about the world - than I had previously realised. Of course, she can't speak back to me, she physically can't get to the places/items she wants to and she can't use her hands to manipulate things in exactly the way she wants but it's all going in, I'm sure of it. Last week, we borrowed the baby walker that usually lives at her grandparents' house and the second we put her in it she turned it around and charged into the kitchen, straight to the bin!! It was as if she had been waiting to get to that bin for months!!

Do you ever forget just how much your LO understands?!
