Pattyโ€™s new experiences continued this month, including her first restaurant outing, lots of Christmas markets (where she was very popular), and even a delicious, smelling butcher shop. She also had her first bus ride, it was a bit bumpy, but she wasnโ€™t scared at all and tucked in next to our seats. We kept her occupied with some โ€˜calm cookieโ€™ as sheโ€™s a very energetic cookie.

She would get fussy in her x pen, and then we discovered that she loves to look out the window. We moved it next to our window, and now sheโ€™ll often gaze meditatively at the world outside. It sometimes even leads to a wee nap full of loud snoring. Sheโ€™s very energetic and definitely a bit of a land shark who doesnโ€™t enjoy being cuddled. Imagine our surprise when one sleepy evening, she chose to come and cuddle in our lap! Which is now becoming a semi-regular evening routine. Sheโ€™s so sweet (when not a tooth tornado), and we look forward to many more cuddles.
