Hi everyone

I have been lurking and reading, but feel like I haven't posted for a while. I started university last week. I would like to say that I have been busy with study, but unfortunately I haven't done nearly as much as I would have liked to.

I'm not sure if you're aware, but this week (1-7 August) is World Breastfeeding Week. To celebrate ABA had a stall at Norton Plaza this weekend with all kinds of information. I manned the stall for about an hour and a bit this morning, which was quite fun, except that Diana kept wanting to crawl on to the escalators, which quite frankly just wasn't on. She is still not quite walking by herself. She almost took a step yesterday (from me to the armchair), and she loves to walk while having her hand held.

The other day, Diana did the cleverest thing. For no apparent reason, she took her trousers off. I asked her if she took them off because she wanted to go on the potty, and promptly put her on, and she proceeded to do a wee and a poo. I am so proud of her. We seem to be catching about 95% of poos in the potty now.

Charly - that is so cute about DD singing along with you. Diana sometimes does that too. I'm sorry to hear that your b/f journey has come to an end, but you and DD seem to have enjoyed it, which is a great thing. I have no idea when Diana will be ready to wean. She still has 5-8 breastfeeds a day!

Celsie - wow, how clever is Caeleb putting his toys away! We know all about the stashing thing here too, as Diana does it as well. DH has gone to put on his boots a few times to find rice crackers and toast in them. And here I was thinking how clever Diana was to have eaten her breakfast...

Mel - welcome back! Hope everything is going well for you and Jackson. As I mentioned above, Diana is not walking yet either.

Hi to everyone else. Hope you've had a great weekend and that your week goes well.
