Very good advice, Kirsty - I saw Niece and SiL at Church briefly on Sunday and asked DS to say "hello" to them - and he did! But SiL spoke over him so didn't notice LOL. I waited until SiL had dashed off while I was unstrapping DS from the pram to praise him.

I just don't want to be overly cool about it, so when the in-laws get excited I say "he's been doing that for months" IYSWIM? Still, Niece slept through before DS, so he's not winning that one! LOL, we all know what we want the first big achievement to be.
