Hi girls. sorry for the neglect, my depression has gotten a lot worse so I've been avoiding people so no-one picks up on it, only to completely breakdown yesterday but at least I'm a bit better now. I'm going to be bad at personals today, sorry in advance.
Kirsten, I've been thinking and praying for your friend and the baby.
Cate, I cannot give relationsip advice, DH thinks that I should "get over" my depression, not go out every morning and do housework instead because then he'll be happier. So I'm not too chuffed as he spends most evenings on the phone talking to his mate about fishing! When do I get to talk or have fun?
Hi to Sally! Lieby was born at 42w so it's not fair to compare, even 9m on as he's 3m older in reality and that's a big difference at this age. (It's also not fair to compare babies with no difference or 14m difference, but that's another vent.) Liebs is cruising really well now, can stand up and sit himself down, has 3 teeth and 3 on the way, has a great chuckle and a few words (Daddy, Mummy, ja (yes) and no, Hey/Hi/Hello, Baba for Baby, Vivver for Oliver his friend, ninga for drink/water, umgar for hunger also he has "thag-oo" for thank you, "lug oo mum" for love you mum (he then hugs and kisses me), "babana" for bye-bye night-time, "oh dear" with a stress on the D, and he does other random ones), and loves to say had-dad-did and gig gig gig egg gig geg. He loves his food, expecially pasta and pork sausage. Lieby is tall (74cm-ish) and light (under 18lb, that's under about 8.5kg). He also does not crawl or roll around, just gets me to hold my fingers out so he can stand, walk and sit if he wants something. Favourite toys are tissues, empty envelopes, telephones and remote controls. The stacker is OK, but only if he has nothing else. He started the clinginess at 5-6m and it's going now, a friend took him yesterday for 40mins while I had a sleep and DH today for 45mins - he didn't miss me at all today. He anticipates the "up" parts in Grand Old Duke of York and the bouncing patterns of his horsey ride game. He waves sometimes but won't clap yet. I think he is very advanced, but I am his Mummy!
All this pales to insignificance to Niece though. She's 22 and a bit months old, still doesn't talk, but MiL says that she's telepathic. No wonder Lieby doesn't interest her!
OK, that was very all about me. And more - we're decorating the sitting room and check out the new pic in the gallery.
gtg he has woken up! DH is fishing now he has stripped the wallpaper and I have tidied.
