Big update after a long break

Hello my fans, I did not forget about you but my life has been really busy, well, I should say Mummy and Daddy's life was.
Well well, what should I start?
Since last update, which was last summer I have done a lot, and there has been some bigger changes to my life. In Autumn, Daddy went on a business trip to Princeton in US for about three weeks, and Mummy and Daddy decided we should all meet up there. Princeton is very special place. It is the place Mummy and Daddy met, lived and worked for some years before they moved to London. It will be very nice for me to go to see what it looks like and enjoy a little break from my "routine" life.
Mummy and Daddy were very surprised that how well I adjusted there... well, except getting up very early to play! I met up with Mummy's and Daddy's old friends, and also left my footprints in the town, some shopping malls, restaurants, and Big Apple NYC! I really enjoy shopping in US, the malls are so big that I can run around so free. Like most of people first time to NYC, I am very impressed by how tall the buildings are, and big crowd of people everywhere, I just sitted in my buggy and busy looking around the whole time! I think I would love to visit US again!
After US trip, the number of foreign countries I have visited is now 4( France, Sweden, Denmark(airport), and US)
After coming back from US, we immediately prepared moving to the new house. Grandpa and Birgit came to look after me so that Mummy and Daddy can do the move, clean and decorate the new house. I really enjoy being with Grandpa and Birgit, they played with me and took me out for a walk every day, we entertained each other very well.
I barely take any time to adjust the new house, I was just happy that I got so much space now, my room is like triple size of my old one, and I even got a play room! I can push the buggy around the living room and run around.
In November, I started attending in a nursery (Bromley Day Nursery), where I met so many little friends. I was really happy there. Every time when Mummy or Daddy came to pick me up, I ran, smiling, and screaming "Mummy" or "Daddy" with a big hug.
Winter arrived soon after we all settled down in the new house, London had a biggest snowfall in many years. I can not go to the nursery or Nanny's for a week, as the road was to icy, so Mummy and Daddy had to take turns taking care of me or working at home for about a week.
And then, you know what is coming? Yes, Christmas! We stayed in the new house for my second Christmas. Daddy took two weeks off from work to hang out with me, we had very good quality time together. We went walking, shopping the Christmas present, and even Christmas Tree! We also went to Christ Church to make some special candles for Christmas pray services. On Christmas Eve, after Christmas Carol service in the church, we went to Nicole's (my little neighbor friend)house for Christmas Eve party, but I fell asleep soon and missed my Christmas Eve dinner! Anyhow my second Christmas was very peaceful and nice.
I hope you all also had a lovely Christmas.
I think it is about time I show you some pictures-

Big Change of Our life

Are you wondering how old I am now? I will be 17 months old in one week and my life is full of action and opinions now.
I have start walking around before my first birthday, and now I not only can walk but also run! I love running and pushing the cart in the garden, I even can do the turn so when something is in the way, it won't lower my speed.



I have also officially said bye bye to breast milk when I was 13 months old. One day Mummy told me: "OK Sophie, I think it is about time we move on, and no more break milk today". And then I moved on and never looked back. It turns out surprisingly easy for Mummy.

There was a dramatically change of our life after Mummy went back to work in the beginning of June. Part of my day I am not with Mummy anymore, it took a few weeks for me to get used to it. Technically, I have started hanging out with Sue (Nanny) since mid-April. Mummy told me that to be in the difference environment is good for me, so we have to stay strong and trying to learn not to be with each other all the time. I started few hours with Nanny and now I am "full-time" with her, which means 8am to 6pm Monday to Friday. Big relief for Mummy and Daddy, I enjoy so much with Nanny few weeks after our first session. I made good friends with 3-year old girl Summer, and her brother, 5-year old boy Kyle, they are the children Nanny also looks after part time. I have stop crying when Mummy dropped me off in the mornings, instead I just cuddle with Nanny and then Kyle and Summer when they are also there. Depends my mood, I sometimes wave bye bye to Mummy with a big smile. I love playing in Nanny's garden, she has a very big garden with all the garden toys and equipment for little kids like me. I got very nice tan now, thank you for this unusual British sunny Summer. Nanny took me to the various baby groups, and I will sit down with all other children and having a tea time and playing together. Being with Nanny also means I have started to learn English(properly), Mummy speaks to me in Madrian and Daddy in Swedish, and we try not to speak English at home. And now, I communicate with Nanny in English very well. I say to Nanny "No more" when I finish my water, or "More" if I am still hungry, I say "Tack" when I receive something, I also call her "Nanny" and call "Summer". There are more words I can say in English, but I only speak to Nanny as we don't use Englis at home. My first word in Madrian is "gou gou" (dog), and "boll" in Swedish (ball).
Since I have start moving around, I learn I can do lots of things without help. I now can buckle up the harness of my buggy, I just need to be put in, and I INSIST to buckle myself. I don't want to hold anyone's hands when we are walking around, and I also insist to eat, and put on the sucks and shoes myself.

Enjoy my new pictures, they are ranged from 14 to 17 months..


Let me show you how to eat a Pear!
