Hi Steph, good to hear from you. Congrats on getting your drivers' licence, it must be great to have all that freedom! And even though you'll miss your PsIL, I'm guessing it'll be nice to have the place to yourselves. Congrats also on becoming an aunty to your niece.

Do your DSs have hearing problems or is the signing just to help their speech and language development? When did you discover they needed the help? Oucy on poor little Cailan's teeth.

Good luck on all of your tests, hope the reversal goes ahead soon.

Hi Liz, how's the pg coming along? Is it very different to your pg with Tallon? Yay at Tallon using the big bed!! Lucy sometimes sleeps in on our bed in the mornings and it's so cute when she wanders out after she's woken up. Lucy also doesn't seem to throw tantrums. If she's really tired she'll chuck a bit of a fit but is easily distracted and tends to settle down very quickly. And I hear you on the climbing thing. Running around outside tends to get rid of most of the energy, but I resort to going to the park for some added physical stimulation. Although in this weather that's hard!

Oh Kas, I hope you are much closer to getting into your house!! How frustrating with all of the delays. Good on you for still bfing, although it sounds like Liam is gradually weaning himself. I got the Mirena IUS so we didn't have to worry about condoms. The mini-pill just was not an option, in all likelihood we'd have welcomed #2 by now had we gone with that!

Well, we are busy here, me with work and Lucy with growing. She's eating us out of house and home (still), she's up to two weet-bix and a piece of toast every morning and so it goes on. She's learnt to do some of the actions to the Wiggles songs (she's a huge fan), she reaches into the sky, touches the ground, turns around, touches her head, toes, mouth and nose and now rubs her hands together for the mashed banana bit. It's so cute and I'm endeavouring to videotape it.

We start back at swimming lessons on Saturday evening and I'm looking forward to seeing how much further she can get under her own steam. She's also started saying more words and will repeat them if you ask her ('car' and 'shoe' are newies). She puts things away on shelves and drawers or pencils back in the pencil case if asked (sometimes unprompted, but not always reliably!).

That's about all for us. I've been working so much I feel like a holiday already and I've got a few more months of this to look forward to! Bring on Christmas, I say!

Hi to everyone else...
