Getting around

Thursday 5th February 2009

Well things have quietened down slightly again now and this week has been quite peaceful - helped by the fact that daddy has been in Japan for most of the week!!!

We had an exciting weekend - daddy finally got his car, after many many weeks of looking and searching we have leased a car, which means that we had to go shopping for a new car seat for me. Mummy and daddy were very impressed to learn that although I cried whenever I was in it in England, the one in Singapore seems to make me sleep!! I also got treated to my first ever pair of big girl shoes - we found a Clarks shoes and my feet are an impressive 4.5F. My shoes are very pretty and although I have not wore them yet, I am sure they will come out next week, as I am determined to walk anywhere that i can.

My other trick of the week involves eating!! I have been able to use the spoon and put it in my mouth for ages, however I was never sure how the food got on the end of it. This week thanks to mummy's big bowl, spoon and cheerio's it has all become clear, so now I am happily feeding myself (well 50% of the time, sometimes it seems to get lost between the bowl and my mouth - i think mummy must be sneaking off with it!) I have also learnt a new word that I can use in context - (besides da-da) and that is yum!!!

As usual we have been swimming and music making this week. I am now showing my independence big style in music and sat quite happily dishing out all the instruments to the rest of the group this week - well I am an expert at emptying any containers or shelves now so I thought i should put my skill to some use. I have attached pictures from my swimming class last week with daddy - in the second one you cannot see me, but I am in David's hands, so at the bottom of the pool!!

Other than that I have spent the week perfecting my crawling (am super speedy now), opening and closing doors and trying to climb on anything (as yet I have not managed it without help). Mummy thinks it is funny that when I concentrate I have started sticking out my tongue - however it was not as funny when I fell over and bit my tongue - tears and cuddles followed and I have a lovely big mark on my tongue still!!

Well I am going to say night night and I look forward to updating you on all of my adventures next week,

Big sloppy kisses to all
