V - Autumn is crawling too. Kind of like a jerky, wind-up toy, so cute to watch isn't it? She freaked me out by appearing at my feet under the coffee table with a big grin like 'you didn't see me coming, haha'

Danni - My DH goes fishing too, but I'm just jealous I can't go with him. I'm dreaming of the day we get a bigger boat with at least a half cabin so I can take Autumn and keep her out of the sun. Bad news about the photos - makes me want to take all mine down.

Zofia - I am curious about the potty use if you don't mind. Is introducing it at this age something cultural for you? At what age do you expect she will use it on her own? Don't feel bad about the fall, I let Autie slip sideways out of the jolly jumper today, she didn't fall far but you do get the guilts don't you?

Nicky - It's great that you are finding such comfort in Lachlan. Hope your days get brighter real soon.

I've just had SIL on the phone all down because it's her DD's first day at school tomorrow - I know I'll be a mess when the time comes!
