Kiss, kiss

Anya is a kissing machine! My BlackBerry is incapable of uploading videos so I can't really demonstrate this visually, but you'll have to take my word for it.

She discovered about a fortnight ago that Kate and I spend a lot of our time putting our lips to her and making smacking noises. So she's clearly worked out that this is something people do to things they like.

When I got up with her yesterday morning, she was on a kissing campaign. She kissed the sofabed in her room; she kissed all her toys strewn on the floor; she kissed several books, and in "The Crunching Munching Caterpillar" (one of her favourite books) she kissed the caterpillar on every page. I obviously got plenty of embraces too.

She's also very into blowing kisses, a trick she might have learned from her friend Sofia. Her version isn't quite an elegant wafting of an airy kiss: more a smacker to the heel of the hand, followed by a karate-chop and a big smile. But you know what she's getting at.
