Xmas In Germany
So we have lot's of snow in Germany in the last week, it is now starting to melt but at least we will have a white Xmas , it's so beautiful here when all the Xmas lights are on and there is white everywhere. It has been very cold -10 degrees and parts of Germany -30. The pictures above are of Frank and Heidi 's backyard in Delmonhorst and the snow in Hamburg.This day was bloody cold.
On The Pot
So we decided to give Evie a try on the potty, very funny and it worked first time. We are starting to know now roughly when she needs to go to toilet, both wees and poos, okay so there have been quite a few accidents but we have also had success, wow its awesome. Well it would be great to not have to use nappies in the day think of all the nappies we save. Evie had her first weekend away from me and stayed with her grandparents, she was amazing so happy. I had a nice relaxing weekend and got to sleep loads, feel like I'm catching up on all the sleep I missed out on the first 6 months. Most nights she sleep from 8 till 8 oh its heaven , occasionally she wakes up at 7 or this morning 6. Its amazing how much she changes even in 3 days. Im noticing new expressions, new noises and how strong she is getting. She is so inter active now singing with other people or copying the noises we make. DADDadddadaad is her favorite and she says it to everyone especially herself in the mirror. Very funny.

Finland
SO we went to visit my friend Miia and her two lovely daughters last week in Porvoo which is a village outside of Helsinki.
It was quite cold maybe 2 degrees max temp which took getting ready to go outside quite along time and a bit of struggle, not Evie's favorite thing putting clothes on. Seems all kids hate it. Another plane flight and still very tiring although it was only a 2 hour flight. We didn't do allot as the weather was pretty crap ,cold and wet and very dark, quite a strange experience taking the kids to the park in the dark at 4pm .
We are now back in Hamburg again this week and spending next week and Christmas in Delmonhorst with Olaf's Parents.

Our German Trip
So we have both come to Germany for Evie to meet her Papa Olaf and her Grandparents.
We have now been her for four weeks, We are living in Hamburg for the next two months and spending weekends with Olaf's parents.
The flight was amazing Evie slept for nearly the whole flight, both flights so easy ,I was expecting the worse. The first week of jetlag was a nightmare but within a week she was back to normal
Its very cold here compared to the 40 degree days they are experiencing in Sydney , not sure which I prefer, but it's very grey in Hamburg, today is a light kind of grey and not raining. But most days it rains here which can get a bit grim.But I didn't come here for the weather. Leaving the house is as bit mroe of an effoort here, loads of layers needed , sometimes Evie struggles to move.
I have quite a bit of free time now which I'm not used to , Evies lseeping so much better, through the night from 8 till 8 and then bigger sleeps in the morning now ...
Its so nice that Evie get to know her Dad now, its such a beautiful thing to watch the two of them so comfortable and happy with eachother. Just in time for her saying dadaaa and papapaaaa.No Mamas yet but thats next I heard. Im also enjoying the time with Olaf and his parents getting to knwo them and there culture and country,Im very glad that I go the oppurtunity to come to Germany. Now all I need to do is learn some more German.

8 Month Madness
In the last month Evie has managed to perfect her crawling skills and now is managing to pull herself up standing against furniture her cot and me.
As you can see Evie is now feeding herself and loves fruit Mangoes her favourite. Actually she doesnt like it much when I feed her, so its a very messy experience for all.
SO the last month has been extremly busy getting ready and coming to Germany to meet her Papa and granparents and Aunty.
