Creepy crawlies

Matilda has been able to crawl  . . backwards for quite a while.  At her developmental check they said that it wouldn't be long before she worked out she could move forward too.  Over the last few weeks she has got increasingly frustrated as she has done push ups on her toes and hands missing the point that the knees do all the work.   Finally on Boxing day she took her first tentative moves forward, only a few moves at first, with a lot of effort she hunched backwards and forwards and managed to move across the rug.  She has cracked it.  Hooray. 

We went out to Stratford Butterfly farm today.  A strange day to do it as it was bloody freezing outside, only 1 or 2 degrees and we went into a boiling hot house.  It was good fun, Tilly seemed fascinated by them but when they kept trying to land on her she'd had enough and was more than a bit frustrated.  She looked very cute in her new Christmas outfits and got a lot of smiles and attention from strangers.
