My ds was like this, could never play independently and was a cling on.

My girls on the other hand - all played independently.

My 11 month old (who sort of leap frogs around, not really crawling like the others did!) likes to play with the older kids toys. She also likes to empty my kitchen drawers. She likes to headbutt the cats. She loves to eat, she has 3 meals and 2 snacks a day and then bfeeds on top of that.

Um, she likes dancing to music. She's good in the car thank god. She has 2 naps a day usually.

I rock her to sleep still, and bath time is fun because she has siblings to make it fun for her. I think first children are so hard because you are the sole entertainer of them, and I had no idea how to do that so I struggled.

Ooh ds liked to watch the dryer go around with clothes in it? And nothing settled him better than a tug at the wind chime - the sound of bells always gets them to be quiet apparently

Do you come to bris often? We could catch up if you wanted to
