Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyy Naomi!!! Great news! Sorry it took so long for me to reply - just got back from hols today and was very excited to see your post!

Nicole - great post. Love reading about kids that have been through this and are still going strong. I hope Scarlett's new medical problem sorts itself out soon.

DD went really well on our trip away. She was brace free two nights before she went and while we were away she commando crawled EVERYWHERE!!!!! I don't know that she'll actually crawl though - she stands on her toes and hands, instead of hands and knees so it'll be interesting to see what she'll do. I got a fright on day two though - I'd put her in her cot so I could make the bed and she chucked a wobbly so I ignored her, but when I turned around and looked at her, she was standing up!!!!! AAHHHHHH!!!! Hadn't done that before and hasn't done it since, but was pretty cool!!
