I am not dead! Although since I've not been in this thread for far too long, I'm sure you all think I am! I have been super busy, working two days a week and also getting the baby bag business on it's feet.

Update on Caeleb. 11 months, weight 9.6 kilos, height, 78cm. He's long and lean. He's only in the 25th to 50th for his weight, but in the 75th to 90th for his height. Not walking unaided yet (still holds onto one finger), yet give him his block trolley and he'll almost run, stands unaided and wait for it... still NO TEETH!

He's still breastfeeding, although I'm trying to ween him in preparation for going onto cows milk at 12 months. Plus, the thought of a regular bra is far too tempting! LOL

We've had a terrible run on illness. Ear infection, followed a week later by a bad cold, followed one week later by yet another bad cold. Blah!

He's laying across my chest as I type this (poor little tyke is all congested, so is having trouble sleeping) and he's laughing and giggling in his sleep. Aww... too cute!!!

He is just the most adorable child. So happy and joyous. I really do wonder sometimes what I did that was so great that I deserved to have such a precious child. We can't go anywhere without him making friends. Even at the doctors, he'll start grinning at the old man across the other side of the waiting room, so then I have to start a polite conversation.

We bought one of those "special" backpacks today. We got a monkey one and the lead is it's tail. It hugs Caeleb's back. I'll have to take a photo. Decided it was an absolute must when I went to the post office and I put him down, for just a second to sign something and he was off like a shot for the door and the busy main road.

Have decided to hold off on TTC #2 unitl Caeleb is three. DH isn't happy at all, as he only wanted a two year age gap, but the reality of a toddler going through terrible two's and a newborn is far too much for me to comprehend. After all, I'm the one who's going to be taking care of them for most of the day. I'm sure he'll see what I'm trying to say, with time.

I hope everyone is doing well. I feel so terrible for being MIA. Will make a much bigger effort to stay up-to-date with you all. I would hate for this thread to be closed due to lack of use.
