Narelle, I have my fingers crossed for you!! Im glad to hear the op went well!

Ben is standing too. He climbs up everything, and is always standing. He seems to be very strong, now he pulls himself up to stand like it is nothing. everyone is so amazed how easy and fast ben stands up. He still needs to hold onto things.. But he is starting to move from table to chair etc... and he stands holding on with one hand. He lets go sometimes, but only lasts a few seconds, then falls on his bum. Its so cute. If someone told me he would be doing that at 9 months a few weeks ago, i wouldnt have believed it! and i seriously didnt believe the stories of babies walking at 10 months!!

Yesterday was brilliant. MIL mentioned that a lady she knows has a nephew who was in Oz for a year and his Aussie GF just moved over here to be with him for a year. she is the same age as me, and only lives 10 minutes away! So i got her number from MIL and had a chat to her, and invited her over yesterday. Her german BF came over too, it was so great to meet them both. We have arranged to meet up with them a few more times, so fingers crossed i have found a new friend (haha, that sounds so pathetic!).

I hope everyone else is well!
