Last night Scott was playing on the Wii and I was on the laptop. Emma was crusing all around the furniture as usual and once or twice came to my feet and reached up for me to pick her up. I put the laptop down and picked her up, only for her to get down again because she wanted the laptop!
Therefore, when she came around again I took no notice of her. Scott pointed out that she was signing please, so I put the laptop down pointing out that she would only get down again! however this time she nestled in the crook of my arm and sat with me for about 10 minutes!
That might not seem like a big deal but Emma NEVER does this! The only time she will sit quietly with me is when she is tired or upset (usually after falling down and bumping her head!). The fact that she came over to me and asked to come up was such a defining moment for me.
There are few things in the first year that really make you feel like a mum. Most of the tasks you do can be done by anyone, Scott is the only one that really makes her laugh. We have yet to hear the words that make it true ("mummy" and "daddy"), so every time she does something like that it makes me feel so special!
Of course much of the time, when we're using the laptop Emma will cruise over and stand behind it. Then you see this little hand appear from behind the screen as she reaches round to push the keys! It's very cute, except when you're trying to do something important, because she will not go away while the laptop is open!
