Laura Woithe - 9 months old

Just to add some variation, Laura's 9 month shots were taken during a swimming session she had on 1 December 2001. Ok, so she was about a week or so older than 9 months, but what's a week between friends?

Because I like my bath so much, mummy and daddy took me to a big bath for a change. We started upright, which was fine by me because it meant I could still chew my fingers.

Then I got to float on my back, and still those fingers could stay in. However, to come back to the start we had to go on our tummies and I just couldn't keep my fingers in for that. It did mean that I could lap the water with my tongue though, which was adequate compensation.

I discovered that you can make big splashs in the pool - much bigger than mummy and daddy let me do in the bath. Then I saw something I wasn't sure about and stopped for bit, which lets you see that my cheeks are still red. No, the teeth haven't put in an appearance yet.

Recently I've learnt how to clap my hands, and I could do it in the pool as well. I still do it with clenched fists at times, though.
