So we are in Australia now , loving the weather and enjoying playing outside and the beaches.

Here are some beautiful photos my friend Chris Prestidge took of Evie

November 19 months

So we are off, we leave to got back home on Monday and I am very excited.

Evie knows what a plane is and makes the noise of a plane but I dont htink she quites understands where we are going.

Her language skills are developing so quickly and shes started putiing two to three words together, in her mishung of German and english mostly German, but occasionally shell copy me, like here we go.

Shes putting clothes on by herself now not correct but it sall about her choice now which I find hilarious, ans she copies everything we do.

She loves books and when we are home we look at books up to 3 times a day, its her favourite thing to do to make all the animal sounds and shes poitning to where al the animals are even if she cant say the names yet.

Evies a very foucused littel girl but also a little but hard to get her to do what you want and everything is nein a the moment so Im having to resort to the good old do you want to go to the park and if se says yes then well you have to get changed.

This is all a big learning curve for me as well but she really understands most things now .

Well I cant wait to be back in Austrlia with Evie at the beach.

Evie 1 and a half

So the little lady is 1 and a half . As you can see from the pictures she is becoming more self sufficient she wants to do everything on her own and gets very angry when you try to help her.

We have had quite some fun in the last few weeks, Evie trying Olafs underwear on, very funny, she is learning more and more words everday and is a total mish mash of german and english, sentences like Mama auch, and Mama auf, juice, fish,and she can say egg in english and german also off in english and up for everything. Also everything at the moment is Das ist.

Evie has been sick quite a few times this month which Im sure doesnt help her moods , but shes still sleeping perfectly and has been an absolute joy, exhausting but lovely. Oh I bought her a new pram for her baby and she love s it, feeding her baby and talking to her baby. Shes really testing the boundaries with u sbut we have decided to try and take a firmer approach as in less then six months there will be another little munchkin in the house.

Not sure if she is ready for potty training yet but she goes to the toilet herself and sits on her own seat she can climb up everyday, nothing comes out but its a start as shes showing interest.

17 Months

Norway

16 months

So Evie is sorry a little late due to our holiday and Norway and my sheer laziness.

So wow so much is happening now I don't think I can write it all down highlights of her 16 months are , saying Oma , Opa , Mamma Pappa all in one sentence.

Shes getting really good at understanding both English and German now , but most of her words are German at the moment.

We are all having allot of fun together dancing singing, playing oh and Evie cant say ball its gall which is very cute .
