I now have 11 teeth. for some reason I am missing on of my bottom middle ones, but I have all my top ones, four molars, and there are some eye teeth threatening to come through now too.
Mummy says she hopes the teething is over by the time I'm two, but I quite like it beecause I get extra cuddles and to go in bed with Mummy and Daddy.

Even Mummy says I'm walking now
After a few weeks of practising, I now am confident enough to walk rather than crawl, so even Mummy says I'm walking!
I sometimes do crawl a bit, especially when I'm tired, but usually I toddle round the house. It's great fun and means I can get into all kinds of places I couldn't really reach before, so I have found all sorts of new toys to play with in drawers.
I like that I can walk on my own because now even if Mummy doesn't want to go somewhere, I can go on my own! Although Mummy usually comes and fetches me back, like in Waitrose. Humph.

Teeth and yet more teeth
I haven't done a teeth update for a while but though I better had as I now have ten!
I have seven front ones. There are supposed to be eight but one of them at the bottom hasn't come through yet. And I have three molars so far, two top ones and one bottom one. They are very painful when they come through but obviously I do my best to be stoic.
Mummy and Daddy say they think it is as painful for them as it is for me, but I think they are lucky to have me in bed with them when it gets too painful for me - I am very warm and cuddly.

I am a swimming genius. Official.
At my swimming lesson today, my teacher Anne said I am a swimming genius. OK, she didn't actually use those words, but I'm pretty sure that's what she meant.
I've been going to lessons for nearly a year now, and I'm getting really good - I always kick and I also use my arms, and can swim underwater too.
Today, Anne said that I kick my legs alternately which is something children don't usually do until they are two or two-and-a-half, and I am still only 14 months! Mummy was very proud.
Apparently it means I will be a good swimmer, not that I will win an Olympic medal for it, but you never know!

These feet were made for walking
I have been promising to write about my walking, and after today I just had to!
I've been taking steps for a while now but Mummy says she won't say I am properly walking till it is, and I quote, my 'preferred method of transportation'. Ashton's Mummy says that is quite harsh. I agree.
Anyway, I do like trying to walk and in the last week or so have been taking up to 21 steps on my own around the house, but I can be quite wobbly and I prefer not to do it outside the house.
Or should I say preferred (ooh look I can do tenses!).
Today I had a go at a bit of walking in my signing class, and it went OK, so after a massive 90-minute nap this afternoon I felt refreshed enough to have a go outside in town.
It went really well. I help Mummy's hand, and walked round Falaise Square, and then decided to walk to Waitrose, and I walked all round Waitrose*, and then nearly all the way home, too! Mummy said I walked for nearly two hours!
It was tiring, but lots of fun. I saw loads of things I never notice in the pram, and although it did take a very long time to get home (and in the end Mummy carried me) I was glad I did it.
It was especially nice to hear people walking past saying how cute I looked. Mummy says this is because I am as small as a nine-month-old so I look like a doll or a genius. In fact my trousers today say 3-6 months on the label, so you can tell how petite I am. But perfectly formed, of course.
At least now I have got some good use of my lovely shoes, because they cost £22 - Mummy says this is a lot of money for something I will only wear for six weeks before I outgrow them. I say look at the use I've had out of those trousers!
*Mummy didn't let me buy the things I chose in Waitrose, but if she had, then I would have bought:
a punnet of blackberries
one tomato
a beetroot
some pre-prepared root vegetables
some new potatoes in herbs in a bag
bathroom cleaner
some bread reduced in price
When I am old enough I will buy the things I want to buy, not what Mummy says we need.

New house!
After a long time, lots of praying, and a lot of God's intervention, we have a new home. It is pretty much everything Mummy and Daddy wanted which is brilliant.
It is a flat walk to town (Mummy's wishlist) and has a downstairs toilet (that was on Daddy's), three bedrooms, a big kitchen/diner, a big living room, parking (Daddy again), and a huge 100ft garden.
I am very happy here, as I have loads of space to play and the kitchen is so big I even have my own cupboard full of things I use to help Mummy cook.
It was fun while we got unpacked, because there were no stairgates, so Mummy tried to block my way with boxes and furniture. As you can see from these pictures, that didn't work! I enjoyed escaping upstairs when she was busy, ha ha.
Sneaking through:
I'm going to make it:
Victory!:
And here are some of me in the garden. I know it looks like Escape From Colditz, but honestly, we have bought a mower now and it's not such a jungle. the garden will need a lot of work but it is great right now as it is all grass for me to crawl about on, and test out my walking (see another post).
I also have my own room now, so I (mostly) sleep in there and I love playing in there with my toys and books.

Wa'izda?
Woohoo! At long last I am back online! It has been ages since I posted on here and partly it is because we moved house and Sky couldn't get us connected to the internet for a month, which is mad.
Anyway, I'm back, and I'm going to post various updates, not in date order, starting with this one.
Wa'izda is my new 'thing'. Mummy is very proud because she says it is my first proper sentence. It means 'what is that?' and I tend to ask it while pointing at things. Mummy isn't finding it annoying. Yet.
