A few months ago Mum told me there was a baby in her tummy. So when Mum asks me where the baby is I know to kiss and pat her tummy. I can’t see a baby but Mum’s tummy is getting bigger and bigger. Now when she hugs me, she holds me up high above her tummy or off to one side. This baby already seems to be in the way. I wonder if I will ever see the baby or if it just stays in Mum’s tummy.

I was pushing buttons on the microwave oven today and after a little while the screen said “child lock” on it. Mum and Dad found it and they couldn’t make the microwave work any more. They had to go and get a book about the microwave to find out how to unlock the buttons again. “Child lock” must mean that only children can use it. That’s why I could lock it but Mum and Dad didn’t know how to unlock it. I think it’s nice that the people who made the microwave put in this special child lock just for me.

I am 18 months old today. Mum and Dad wanted to see how big I am so they tried to weigh and measure me. I don’t like to stand still so it took them a long time. It was fun when Dad chased me around my Nana’s house with a tape measure. In the end this is what they decided:

Height: 82 cm

Weight: 12 kg

Cute: yes
