Emily Andre is a doting mother of three and it isn't every day she shares videos featuring her brood.
However, Peter Andre's wife, 35, divided fans on Friday when she took to Instagram to share her nine-month-old daughter Arabella's milestone.

As you can see, Belle has officially hit the milestone of casting (throwing anything and everything in sight!). She hasn’t quite mastered looking to see what she’s dropped yet, but I know so many parents will relate to this stage."
As Emily fed Arabella she handed her toys which the infant swiftly threw on the floor. However, fans were confused by the star pointing out this action as a childhood milestone.
Fan reaction
"Where on earth do these facts/ words come from…Casting…I’m so pleased I had my children at a time where everything they did was not analysed and documented and named," wrote one follower.

"It's so good that explanation is there whatever the generation. Not everyone has someone around to help them understand child development."

One penned: "We are at this stage and now my baby is starting to look at where the toy/object has gone. So helpful to understand that it’s a developmental stage."
Emily talks motherhood
Though she opts to keep her childrens' faces out of the public eye, the doting mother has opened up about life in the Andre household. In an exclusive interview with HELLO! last November, Emily revealed the strict rule she upholds at mealtimes.
