HI gals,
All's well here.
I've been debating the big bid issue, and all I know is that she'll be in one by the end of the year. No more kids here need the cot, so there's no need to move her out until she outgrown it (which will be soon). We took the front off the cot for DD1 a few months before moving into a big bed, and that was at about 20 months, so we may do that in a couple of months.

I find Bailey's speech isn't as developed as Ardyn's was at the same age, and although I KNOW that I shouldn't compare children, it's so darn hard not to. The doc did say that she should have a few more definite words now, but being a second child her big sister does a lot of the talking for her (doesn't shut up actually!! Ha!). Apparently it was the same for me growing up. I was a second child and didn't talk until closer to 3.

I'm sure that as soon as she starts she won't stop, so I'm helping her along and just waiting for the floodgates to open.

And that's about it here. Everything's moving along nicely. We have tantrums, we have accidents (she fell off the couch head first onto the tiles last night) but we're all surviving.

I hope that more mums come on and give an update.
