| Trying on shoes at Winners, this is the same coat that her BFF has. |
I looked at when the last posting was and it has definitely been awhile. Ceilidh has been up to all sorts of things in that time. Her latest was this morning when she asked for not only a cookie she finally said please. Progress. She is really picking up words left right and centre. She is more then willing to try to repeat what you say, but the true progress comes when she can remember and relate the words to objects. Please is a hard one because it is not something concrete. It's not like you can point to a "please" we are still working on Thank-you/merci/gracias. I think the merci will be easier TH and G's tend to be hard for toddlers.

| Apple picking with Babba |
So here is the low down on what we have been up to. The biggest change is we moved houses. We used to live outside of Ottawa and now we live in Ottawa, the burbs of course. This meant that Miss C had to leave her beloved child minder and start afresh. But we found someone just as wonderful and Miss C found her self a BFF. Miss B (said BFF) is close to Ceilidh's age, they are a few months apart and they are similar height and build and similar personalities. They will often babble to each other and then break out laughing. They have also been mistaken for sisters even twins because of their blue eyes and fair hair. And I just found out that they have a similar coat after I almost mistakenly took Miss B's coat home thinking it was Ceilidh's luckily in the end I noticed the mittens which Ceilidh doesn't have attached to her coat. In addition to Miss B Ceilidh also discovered my Serta sleep sheep and has adopted it as her other best friend. It is called Babba of course. She generally leaves it at home but on long car trips or trips to the doctor Babba is allowed to come along for the ride.

| Picking Tomatoes |

| Eating tomatoes |
Ceilidh is now just over 18 months. She still loves anything meat based but we still have to fight with her for veggies. I miss the garden from the old house. She would love picking and eating tomatoes straight from the vine. And she still loves cucumbers, especially if it is with Taziki. Her favourite activities include going to the park, where she loves the slide and making sand pies. She still loves to play in the puddles so the rain that comes with the fall doesn't dampen her spirits as long as she gets to go outside and jump in some puddles. She also enjoys playing with playdough and will say the word and point to where we usually keep it. She always seems to remember where things are kept. To my relief she is finally understanding the concept of cleaning up after we play. She still remains shy around adults she doesn't know but very sociable with kids.
She is keen to always try to do things herself, like put on her shoes, get on her tricycle, feed her self and often gets upset when you try to help her with these things. She will often push our hands away from the tricycle when we are trying to navigate her, she can't peddle but she loves to sit in it and be pushed as long as you don't place your hands on the handle bar.

Halloween is coming so of course this means more cute pictures. Looking back at last year's pumpkin pictures they will be hard to beat.
