Miss Madeleine can....

As she approaches her first birthday, Miss Madeleine...

• can say Mama, Dadda, duck, cat, Catherine and dog.
• loves any sort of animal, especially ducks, monkeys, cats, dogs and any thing else that moves, flaps, squawks or squeals.
• complains if expected to travel in a car without her DVD player and the Teletubbies.
• sings along to the la, la, la chorus in the cbeebies show Mr Bloom.
• is pulling herself up and cruising around the furniture.
• will eat just about anything, but her favourites are blueberries, meat, chocolate, tomatoes and cheese.  Miss M is a cheese-monster!
• can sign milk and duck.
• loves balloons, eating books, shredding paper, foraging in dustbins and rubber ducks.
• loves swimming, softplay and communal singing.
