new house...new tricks

We are living in our new townhouse in Padstow now. We have been here for about a month. I really love it here as theres lots of room for me to run around and have fun. We have stairs but I don't go near them (yet). Our bedrooms are upstairs and so is our bathroom. I especially like my new backyard as Mummy lets me go out there so much. It is easier for her to watch me when I am out there, our old yard was too big and far away and Mummy can stay inside now and still see me and be nearby.

I have been growing and learning so much. I can now put several words together, and I can say so many words. I love jumping up and down. My latest phrase is "I non't know" (i dont know). Mum will ask me where something is, and if I don't know I just tell her so. I also say "no more [whatever]" when I dont want any more of something. Like last night in the bath Mummy wanted to put the turtle away and I said "no more turtle, bye turtle".

I also say "sowy" (sorry) when I bump into someone/something or hurt myself.

I am now sleeping in Mummy's old big girl bed. Mummy and Daddy bought me a matress to go on it and a siderail to stop me from falling out when I flip and flop in the night. I love my bed so much. I did not give Mummy and Daddy any grief when I moved from my cot. I had been sleeping in a portacot since March anyway so I am glad to have some more room to move.

The only thing is, I must have Bob, Meow, Mary, Bert and Cartman in bed with me. If one or more is missing it doesn't stop me from going to bed but I *do* notice!! I can say all their names too which drives Mummy mad sometimes because I make her kiss everyone goodnight.

I have been eating meals on my new table and chair and I have been doing really well eating on my own.

I am a speedy puzzle person now. Mum is amazed at how fast I complete puzzles, especially my tupperware shape ball. Mum reckons I can do it in about 2 minutes!

We have our camera back now that we have unpacked all our stuff and some more pictures should be up sooner or later.

I have started going to playgroup on Fridays from 2pm-4pm and I absoloutely love it. I love running around with the kids. I love kissing and patting the babies. I love munching on the snacks that are put out. I just love it.

My routine at (almost- a week to go) 19 months is:
Wake: 8-830am
Breakfast: 9am - 2 weetbix, cup of water.
Lunch: 11:30am - sandwich, 2 min noodles, tin spag bol, avocado + tomato on toast. whatever reall. A cup of milk.
sleep: 12:30-2:30pm or 1pm - 3pm
afternoon tea: 3:30 fruit, water, cheese + biccies.
dinner: 5pm - whatever, with a cup of milk after dinner.
Bath: 5:30pm
Simpsons: 6:00pm ( "See See's!")
play and then
Bed: about 7pm

Daddy has his own business now so he is home late. He spends some time with me in the mornings but sometimes I dont see him before I go to bed. He always comes to give me a kiss though if I am still awake in bed when he gets home. Sometimes Mummy will keep me up til 8 if she knows Daddy will be home to see me.

That's about it from me. I'm sure I have learned more but Mummy can't remember! I will be back another time to tell you what I've been up to :-)

Love,
Savanna
