Hi! This is long... I've been reading the posts, but just can't post back properly when I read from my phone.
I hardly seem like I have the time anymore! Jensen is such an engertic kid!

At the moment, he seems like he's trying to drop his only day nap, or at least force it back a few hours and shorten it. I thrive on his nap time, planning all the things I can do (ie: to clean, or process Tupperware etc) for his two hour nap, but then he doesn't nap... makes things so much harder to do, but they still get done - just not to the standard I wanted.

Talk is good. I thought he was really ahead, but then saw a post by Sonia (BB name: neuri) on Facebook and reeled in horror, Jensen's not that good yet! He can say the required 10+ words (tho I couldn't name them all, he does say a lot more than 10). the health nurse yesterday said 200+ by the time he's 2... thats only 4mths away, where is he going to find the time??? Can string a "sentence" together - more please (sounds like peas), and the other day he said "roar roar, put it on". He wanted to watch Roary the Racing Car.

I've gone back to work casually, after almost completing my cert III in Aged care - so now thats where I work, and shifts are normally 7-3. MIL and FIL can no longer look after Jensen (except for Tuesdays)and my grandmother now lives 30 mins away in a different direction to what dh and I work in. So I've had to enroll him into family day care 2 days Monday / Wednesday. I don't always work a wednesday, but I thought if they ask me to work a wednesday I can. I feel so guilty!

The health nurse said yesterday too that he had pronated ankles and flat feet. great. Have to find a paediatric podiatrist.

Healthy 11.9kg fully clothed and in a cloth nappy.

He started walking at 14mths, b/f til 15mths - stopped cold turkey from a small lunch feed and a bedtime feed.

Toilet training has begun! Straight after his nap, onto the potty, but he has to sit there till he's wee'd. This morning he told me "wee" and off to the toilet we went! He had already done it, but at least he told me. I asked him throughout the morning do you need to wee and he actually responded by nodding, got off the couch (he was standing on it...) and sat on the potty. Didn't wee, but poo'd! He came into me (I could see him from the kitchen)pointing to the potty and said "wee". He was proud he used it! This is going to take some getting used to!

They grow up so fast!
Brisbane girls, will I see you at the August meet-up? I know it's around our kiddies b'day, and depending on what day it is, Jensen and I should be there!
