13 months & counting



Health
Although still on the petite side, I'm in flying form!!!
I measure 73cms and weigh 7.9kgs which means that I have now been overtaken by 4 months younger cousin Lucy who weighs half a kilo more! 
My head cir. doesn't seem to have budged since my 11 month check up where it measured 44 cms. I still wear my 3-6 months sun hat whenever the sun decides to make an appearance which is roughly 1-2 hours ever fortnight!!!!! I seem to have been teething again recently however there doesn't seem to be anymore teeth other than the 7 I mentioned last month (4 on top and 3 on the bottom) 

Milestones
I am walking around all over the place now and can get up to quite some speed! Maman & Papa have decided they are better off having me in the trolley or in my harness or buggy when we're in shops as otherwise they spend the whole time chasing after me and returning products to their correct shelf! I chat even more than before (Yes it is possible!) Apparently I'm still not able to make myself fully understood other than the distinct words that I do have such as hiya, auvoi, egade, 'llo and the famous oho which I now say anytime I drop my beaker and spill milk or water!
I have learnt to climb down the steps into the garden and I can now also do my laundry!!! (see video in previous post!) 
One important thing I should also mention is that I've become fascinated by dogs. I seem to have an internal dog radar built into me as I always seem to spot the dogs. As soon as I see one I start walking towards it making a huuu huuu noise!!!! Also, I can't remember if I told you this last month or not but I love stacking my cups back one inside the other in the correct order :-) 

Meals
I eat pretty well now. Other than the odd day when I'm just not all that hungry I eat a good amount of food. Maman & Papa have started making me these yummy sandwiches for my dinner in the evenings and I love them because they are cut up into mini squares and I always have to guess what's inside them. So far I've sussed out cheese, ham, ham & cheese, chicken, tuna and egg mayonnaise :-) 

Sleep
I seem to now mainly do one nap during the day averaging 1h30 to 2h however there is still the odd time when I decide I need a morning AND afternoon nap! I go to sleep in the evenings at 8pm sometimes slightly later and then Maman has to wake me up in the mornings between 7.15 and 7.30am. I can't remember the last time I woke up in the middle of the night so I'm definitely getting ca 11hrs sleep at night and between 12.5 and 13h in every 24 hours.

Clothes
Regarding Irish clothes I'm still in 6-9 months vests but I've finally moved into 9-12 months clothes
Regarding French clothes I'm in a mix of 12 mois and 18 mois

My 1st year with Naiima

Maman did this cool collage of all the best photos of Naiima and me during our first year together. I can already picture the two of us giggling in years to come when we look back and see these photos!!!

Grandpa's "small" parcel!

Maman & I walked to the post office last Saturday morning to pick up a parcel for Grandpa. We set off holding hands and walking side by side. I had my harness on in case I decided to waddle  walk off.

Anyway we certainly got a big surprise when we arrived at the post office to find that Grandpa's small parcel was bigger than me!!!!!

We eventually made it home after stopping to rest at different intervals!

Laundry & washing hands

Maman is now teaching me how to do my own laundry and wash my hands properly!!!







Aren't I such a cool chick!!!


Fun @ crèche

You all know by now how much I'm loving spending my days at Robin Hill Childcare with the 3 Marys and Ruth but I can now show you how much fun I'm having thanks to middle Mary who took photos of me playing in the back yard :-)
