Making myself at home

We re-organised some of the furniture at the weekend. And even more toys appeared. This is great. I wonder if there are any more toys hidden away. Can you see in the background that we have no grass outside? We're planting it at the moment but in the meantime, if we want to play in the grass we have to go to someone else's house. Like Peter's house. He has lots of grass in his garden.

At the weekend, I went to music with Mammy and Elena and Mia (who is too small really) and their Mammy and Daddy. I clapped my hands and joined in a lot. More than Elena - because I haven't learnt how to be shy (or polite) yet so I was comandeering every bell in sight when I decided I wanted to play with them. Ella couldn't come with us because it was only for babies and toddlers so she went with Uncle Ross because Daddy was in work. They fed the ducks and boughts paints and got ice-cream - it should have been lovely sunny weather - it wasn't on Saturday morning but that didn't make them change their plans!

I have a new game - it's called seeing how long you can stand on your own for before you bounce down on your bum. I'm not bad at it, but I need some practice and I think bouncing down is more fun that standing still. I'm practising trying to move / fall forward into Mammy or Daddy or Ylva or Marta's arms too - they all love that game. Dorothea has just started walking so I'm pretty determined to keep up with her.

They love the animal game too where I roar when I see a lion in a book. They like it so much that I've started to roar when I see any animal. That snake in my hands in the photo was frightening the dog-dogs away when I made her roar.

My bedroom is looking really good now. I'm just waiting for curtains. Apparently I might not wake so early when I have them. Now that tooths number 9 and 10 have arrived, I don't need as many cuddles before Mammy goes to bed. And Mammy thinks Ella might go to sleep earlier in the evening when she has hers. We'll see... :-)
