Woke up this morning, pointed to mum and said "mama!", then pointed to dad and said "baba!" ❤️

Our little toddler is so full of energy and smiles. We can see so much personality in such a little person.. loves being social and warms up to people quickly. Isn't afraid to ask someone to help her get a book or sit in their lap to read. She's very helpful, helping people wash their hands in her kitchen sink and helping people clap their hands haha.. 

Learnt how to climb the couch the other day.. 

Excited when she attempts to jump - although she doesn't come off the floor I feel she is getting close! She knows to bend her legs into a squat and stand up very fast, sometimes one leg comes off the floor. Hahah.. 

Loves nursery rhymes and can sign along with many of them. Particular fav is row row row your boat, loves to "snap" along to "if you see a crocodile", and then pretends to scream. 

Started being able to put simple shapes through the shape sorter, circle, square, triangle and star. Sometimes needs some help but overall very good! 

Loves playing back and forth chasey with anyone who will play!

Stopped bottles cold turkey this week, gave baby formula in a straw bottle before going into the room for her nap, and before brushing teeth at night. 

After one night we decided to do 50/50 cows milk and formula, she took well to it. 

After two days of 50/50 we changed over to full cows milk. 

She had no problems with this change. Such an adaptable baby ❤️

Likes playing the game where mum and dad on opposite sides of the room and she will run to cuddle back and forth..

Favourite person definitely Gong gong these days. If she catches a glimpse of him and he isn't holding or playing with her straight away she will burst into tears.
