You really are a funny little man but also sstill my baby. " I get it!"  is a favourite phrase.  You want to be so independent but then again have to have someone with you for you to sleep.  Infuriating but lovable all at the same time. 

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

Sleep

You've finally entered that stage of predictable sleep. We have to be home by 11am as this is when you invariably go to sleep. Yesterday you just curled yourself up on the lounge all by yourself. Today you were falling asleep in the car on the way home from the shops. I dearly hope that sleep starts to come naturally to you now. The other night you even slept right the way through from 9pm to 6am! The first time in your 18 months! OK, now you are back to having a midnight bottle but at least we know you can do it.

Guess what?! Today you cut your 5th tooth! You've had your front 4 for about 6 months and thee next ones have been giving you the yips but one cut today ( lower on your left, 3rd from front).

You've been sleeping much better the last 2 nights too. You had a bit of a croupy cough 2 nights ago so we put the vapouriser on and it was the best nights sleep you've ever had. You slept 7 hours straight which is unheard of for you. The same last night. Now if you'd just drop that bottle about 11pm, and sleep through from bedtime (7-8pm) until your normal waking ( 6am on the dot!)

You are a funny little man. You don't' sleep ( 5 hrs max at a time before you wake) well but when you do you are so happy afterward. You have such a mop of curly hair, I can't bring myself to cut it. You are currently next to me standing on a box, and saying "Up Down".

I just had to take you away from Lewis as he is playing cars and doesn't want you mucking up what he is doing. You want to be doing whatever anyone else is doing. Daddy Shaving, mummy cooking - everything.
