A month in the life of Jasmine Maya

Jasmine is walking more confidently each day, holding up her arms to aid her balance. She walks best on firm surfaces and clearly finds grass very strange, becoming less sure of herself. She shows pleasure in the freedom that walking gives her in the home, moving quite quickly from place to place, but at times reverting to crawling. During her outings to the park and the river, Jasmine shows great fascination with ducks. When given bread to feed them she prefers to feed herself, remaining stationary as they waddle towards her.

Jasmine has a great love of fruit and cheese, with banana clearly being her favourite food. Offered a selection of fruit pieces, she shows understanding of their names by taking the one that is named for her - 'Would you like a grape, Jasmine?' 'Would you like a piece of orange?' and so on. She drinks more milk now than ever, which helps sustain her energy levels. She still has a breastfeed at night before bed, but this is becoming less frequent.
