Hi all,

How is everyone and all the bubs? Thought I'd pop on and post - Cooper and I are fighting LOL (Cooper is my almost 7 year old). He's always been very....what's the word....opinionated? Overly assertive..thinks he knows best...lol...anyway, we just had a fight about his homework, because instead of doing it last night he said "I'll do it tomorrow" and so he has twice as much to do today and of course he stuffs around instead of doing it and then yells at me like it's my fault he has so much work to do and then he goes on and on and doesn't listen to me so that I end up losing my temper. So I grabbed all his homework books and threw them on another table and told him I'd write a letter to his teacher saying that he refuses to do his homework...LOL, that worked coz he went and snatched them up again and said "I'm going to do my homework no matter what!" and now he's not talking to me LOL.

Lozi - wow at Max walking already. My boys both walked at 10 months, that was soon enough for me. I wished they'd walk later coz when they are still so little they don't really have much common sense or idea of dangers etc, whereas if they are 12 months or older they understand a bit more.

Linds - welcome back! Nice to hear from you again, of course you are more than welcome to rejoin us.

Brooke - ooh, engagement, I must have missed that post! Congratulations! Awwwwww, how cute, when you get married you can have Maya as flowergirl!

Well, Makenzie has started to do this sort of caterpillar crawl all over the place now. It's sort of like commando crawling but she moves both arms in unison rather than one at a time. So I've been madly babyproofing and vaccuuming all the spots that never get vaccuumed today. She's been inching herself around for a while but never this much or at this speed lol. Cracks me up, it's so funny.

She just cut a top tooth the other day, too.

Darn, she's upset about something so better go. Besides, Cooper's abandoned his homework and has joined his brother outside for a bug hunt, so better go and tell him to get inside without it turning into an all out brawl LOL.
