New Home!!

Well, after months of travelling we have finally arrived in our new home! I am very excited as I have my own room and am now sleeping in a real cot – no more travel cot for me (for a while at least). Our house is in a Kampung which is like a village on the edge of the city. We are up in the mountains so it is much cooler than Jakarta and it is nice to sleep at night – there also aren’t as many mosquitoes up here! Our house has two stories, three bedrooms, lots of white tiles and a bathroom with two types of toilets and a shower in a bucket. The roads in our whole kampung are so narrow that no cars can fit down them so mum and dad are getting lots of exercise carrying me around in a slendang – I love it and often fall asleep! We have a helper called Ibu Tati who is very nice to me and carries me around while she is sweeping and washing – she is very kind!

When we go travelling we ride in an angkot (like a small mini van with a bench seat on either side) and they try an fit in as many people as possible – it gets very squashy sometimes! But I don’t mind because I smile at everyone and they all want to talk to me and give me cuddles! I get lots of cuddles here the people are very friendly and really like chubby babies like me!

I have decided that crawling is the best way of getting around and I love getting up on my feet as often as I can! I greet mum and dad by standing up in the cot every morning and giving them a big smile.
