You have to help me cook each night.  You always want to stir whatever is on the stove and will try and jump (even though you can't actually get both feet off the ground yet) up to the stove.  Even though you have been burnt while helping stir before, it doesn't put you off.  If I don't pick you up onto my hip to help, you slap at the cupboards.  You actually are a great help around thehouse as you are always putting things away and shutting doors

Jump!

You got 2 feet of the ground today - and then promptly fell on your bum.

I think its time to move out of the cot when we move in 4 weeks.  You slept so much better just on a mattress on the floor at Nanna's.

You are a determined child.  Don't like to be told 'No' or made to wait.  You dissolve into tears
