Awwww Sarajo.... I think Maddy & Abby are separated at birth! *L* We're getting the tantrum fits too here. *sigh* I'm trying to tell myself it's not because of my parenting but they seem to be worse for me than for DH. It's not that she's tantruming because she's a 'naughty' or 'spoiled' child, it's just that she's strong-willed and doesn't have any other way to show her frustration. I get the full bodied tantrum where she goes stiff and throws herself backwards either in your arms, or when I'm trying to put her into the pram. She goes stiff so that I can't do up the belt/harness on the stroller and she slides herself forwards under the bar to try and get out. Little monkey! We can't do much, we just tell her 'no' and go about enforcing whatever we were trying to do.

Yayy for Miss Abby's new word! *LOL* And WOW on all of those teeth...Miss M has four on the bottom and two on the top and appears to be teething again but I'll be darned if I can get her to keep her mouth open long enough to check how many more are coming through! *LOL*

Oh, and I hear you on the lack of motivation to walk. She'll walk holding your hands or along furniture, but Maddy screams blue murder if you try and let go of her hands while she's standing up. I think she's figured that it's alot quicker and safer at this point to crawl wherever she needs to get to.

Hmmm...have been thinking today about when we're going to TTC no.2. At first I was totally motivated to wait until Maddy was about 3, but now I'm thinking June 2007 or somewhere around there? I know a couple of you are finished your families but I'd be interested in hearing the plans of those who plan to add more to their broods!

Edited to add: Riley is such a beautiful name for a girl.
