Hi all,

Cam managed to sit on Santa's knee yesterday without cracking the goo ... so we now have our first official Santa photo. Geez, it'll be Dec 25 before we know it!

Well, I officially take the award for "crappy mum of the week". Yesterday morning I sat Cam on our bed for 2 secs while I ducked into the ensuite for deodorant ... and he toppled over (still on the bed) and grazed his forehead on the metal railing at the end of the bed. I thought I'd sat him far enough away from it, but obviously not . He didn't cry or seem worried, so it wasn't too bad - but I still felt awful. Then this morning, after a BF I sat him in his papasan-thing-a-me in the lounge and I left him for one minute to go into the kitchen. Stupid mummy ... because he obviously pitched forward and smacked his head on the carpet. At least he was only a few cm off the floor, as the papsan is a low-set one. But still - stupid, stupid mummy !! Cam bawled, but more in shock than any pain, I think - being carpet and the fact he didn't fall far means it was definitely only a very minor fall. Naturally he got a gazillion kisses and cuddles from a guilty me and he quietened down quickly, and actually went to sleep (he's still asleep 30 mins later). And I sure learned my lesson(s) before I did anything REALLY dumba$$. Poor baby.

Ah ... I spoke too soon as he's now awake, so guess the rest of my post will be done in bits n pieces.

Bec - thanks hun for your kind words to us. You're pretty special too, don't forget. Eighteen months ago I never imagined I'd connect with people so well via the internet - I was never into chat rooms etc. But BB is a fantastic site and I find it an invaluable source of information. And I think our group of mums is pretty darn terrific! Keep your chin up with the house-hunting ... it's easy to be "over it", I know the feeling! Sorry to hear your paed appt is so far away - little Jake sounds like a trooper.

Stacey - glad to hear you guys survived your DS's b'day sleepover. Cam isn't a "chubby" bubba ... he's now 8.6kg and 73cm long. No cute little fat rolls on him whatsoever. In fact, no teeth whatsoever either!!

Gotta fly - Cam's wanting some attention and it's a little too hard to type with him on my lap. He wants to type too . BBL to finish personals.

Andie xx
