Big girl bed

Gaby is now sleeping in a 'proper' big girl bed (ie a single bed)! So far we've had 3 nights of her going to sleep straight away & not getting up until at least 6.30am. We moved house on Saturday & I decided it was time to bite the bullet & put her into a single bed. I was getting sick of her cot, because the side that is meant to go down wouldn't go down! (could have something to do with me not putting it together properly...).

Gaby is loving the new house, particularly the toilet - as the flusher is at a perfect height for her... She seems to like her room & well, every room! She's adjusted really well, which is a relief to me, as I was a little worried that it'd be a big change for her. I guess having familiar things around (furniture, toys etc) makes it a little easier for her!

In two months Gaby will be TWO! Where is the time going? She is quite literally changing everyday now - her language skills are improving daily, it is strange going from not really understanding anything she says, to understanding most of what she says! Her favourite phrase now is "I've got poos"... I hear it every morning! We read a book this morning & I got her to name objects (clothing) - and she got pretty much all of them right, then we read another book - and I got her to say the names of the colours & she was able to pronounce all the names well! My next 'task' is to get her familiar with colours - not all of them of course, but it'd be cool if she could start identifying some colours!!!!
