Kel, that's so annoying! My mother does that - everything Lieby does, no big deal because Sis or I did it at the same age. Now it's competitive because when I was saying about how well Lieby is walking all she could do was say "well, you were" (no "well done my grandson" at all) and then she had to say I could read my letters by age 2 and was fully toilet trained, out of nappies at night, when my sister was 3 days old (so 2 years 2 months exactly). It's not a competition but I just know give it another year or so and she'll be wondering aloud what I'm doing "wrong". She's just an evil cow. She's already complaining Lieby isn't weaned enough and she wants him for a week. Not until she can build a snowman in Hell. MiL is a bit better, she only compares DS to his cousin, who is 14m older. But she compares how he is now to how she is now, which isn't on. Especially when she says Lieby is more advanced, how mean is that to Niece? Yes, Lieby was more vocal than Niece until just recently but they all develop at their own rate. And just cos Niece can sit up fine that's no reason to ignore Lieby sitting up! Sorry, that was a bit of a vent!

Lisa, sadly I am now singing (read: murdering) that wonderful Yazz hit too.

Kirsten, Liebs eats his own glasses. He doesn't wear his sunglasses now, but lucky us in the UK you don't need them. He hasn't tried poo yet, but he does like to poo while naked and standing then dash over to jump in it. Strange child.

Right, well, I'm off to get Liebs some nice long sleeved tops today. He has 3 cardis next size up, but none this size and only 6 long-sleeved tops, only one of which I really like. As it's cold I need more clothes that fit, epecially as he'll be wearing these clothes for a bit. He's in 6-9m, I think that's a size 0.

Has any other baby got a pincer grip yet or am I making it up (and not telling either grandmother just so I can stay excited about it)?
