shower before you get her up.... as soon as you hear her wake jump in the shower, she is fine to spend 5-10 minutes waking up and babbling in her cot... its amazing the difference it makes if you manage to be showered before they get up!! you can always get dressed/do hair later....

at that age my dd began to only eat finger foods, so when she was in her high chair i would zip around the kitchen getting what i could done, and in and out the laundry, put a load of washing on etc.... you can steal a bit of time by finishing off her meals with finger foods, ie sultanas, cruskit, pieces of cheese etc - means you don't have to be sitting in front of her spoon feeding...

it gets easier!! once they start understanding language you can keep them busy by asking them to do things, ie where's teddy, give teddy a kiss, where's your puzzle, where's your book etc.... a sneaky way to keep them out of whatever you are trying to get done... we taught our dd the names of objects around the room and her toys from about 7 months, so by the time she was 10 months we could 'entertain' her by asking her where things were.... now at 13 months she understands EVERYTHING we say, we have actually had to start spelling out the names of things so she doesn't hear what we are saying (ie bottle, teddy, bananas in pajamas etc)...

good luck enjoy your bubba you are moments away from having a toddler but i must say i think it just keeps getting funner and funner the more they grow.

(i realise funner isn't a word )
