Thanks for your support over the dog. I know it was the right decision - can't even imagine how awful it would be if he had ever gotten to Evan - but it's still hard because he was a part of the family.

Hope the pracs going well for you, Brooke. At least Maya is settled with your nana and MIL (2B!). It's really really hard to leave them so i can't imagine what you are going through with your own seperation issues. Thank you for sharing. I know i'm hopeless leaving Evan, and he's always fine! Me, I'm glued to my mobile phone!! LOL!! You should be really proud of yourself for continuing with the prac. I think you're fantastic. I often keep an eye on your website - i love watching Maya grow - she's really very beautiful.

Evan has started pulling himself up on his activity table lately. he's actually on his knees playing with it at the moment. Sometimes when he gets up on his feet it topples over on top of him. Hasn't ever really hurt him, but he gets a bit of a fright. He's crawling comando style everywhere now (so fast!), he can get up on all fours but doesn't move much like that yet.

I was meaning to ask, Evan absolutely LOVES the water (we take him swimming once a week and he loves going underwater and falling in from the side, and making loads of splashes etc) but he is terrible to bath because he won't stay still. We can't get him to sit down! I bought a bath mat thinking maybe it was too slippery but that didn't make any difference, i've given him toys to amuse him, but he still just wants to swim, kicking his arms and legs, jumping up and down and laughing all the time. Any suggestions as to how to get him to sit still for a couple of minutes?????
