The last few days have been much less hectic than the beginning of the week. We have been doing lots of playing at home and having friends over to join in too.
Isla plays with her toys in different ways now. She spends much longer playing with her garage and cars and sometimes lines the cars up in a traffic jam. She likes to include her cuddly toys in her games. Puppy has to help put the puzzle pieces away on occasion. Isla is picking up new words every couple of days now. Recently, she has started putting two words together so now talks about apple pie and peppa pig in this way. She is very pleased with herself when she does this! She also says 'Daddy car' when he is driving us somewhere. Signing is still pretty useful for 'drink' and 'cuddle'. She says thank you (crank koo or similar) quite a lot and sometimes signs it too.

On Saturday, Isla had a lovely morning with just her Daddy as I was off helping hack lots of shrubs back at the community centre. We went to the pub for lunch as a treat.
There are only nine weeks until Christmas so we thought we'd better start on our Christmas pudding making.

On Sunday morning, Isla enjoyed making tractors with play dough and helping make bread. We have pork shoulder for dinner to look forward to later on after we have finished all our hoovering.

Two words! Sounds like a chatterbox is being born.
