For the past week Xander has been waking very early; 4:30 or 5 am seems to be his new wake up time! This is terrible as we are all so tired and grumpy by the end of the day.
He has been sleeping in his bed for about the last 3 weeks and last night when i tried to put him in his cot (to see if he would sleep longer!) he was so upset and kept shaking his head saying 'no' and pointing to his bed! Now i just have to get him to sleep in his bed for his day sleep and then we can pack the cot away.
We are seeing a plunket nurse today to discuss potty training cos i don't know what to do. I am also going to address our dinner time drama which still hasn't gone away - i think this may be why he is waking early, he must be hungry! -, and also will talk about the sleep. But otherwise we are doing very nicely.

Here is a list of Xander's words - he adds a new one at least every two days:
meow, moo, puppy, bubby(baby), bottle, ball, balloon, ta, ta-ta, 'allo, bubble, bath, bed, cot, potty, poo, La (michaela), Ma, Mummy, De(Dad), Daddy, Nanna, kitty, no and this morning he tried toes. His no is very cute, it is very precise and definate, i will probably get sick of this word quickly but it is so cute.
He still signs lots of words, like hungry, drink, butterfly etc, but is trying more and more words.
