Ewww for ALL the poo stories. Its only a matter of time for ella to mess around with her poo. She's already held it once after flinging it around at the pool.

Gigi - big hugs. Hope you just celebrate the event with some hugs and tears. What a milestone eh?

AJP - Your description of what's happening at 12months is EXACTLY what we're doing ATM. She is very very clingy. Crying to be picked up by mumm and wriggles to get down and then cries as soon as she's down. This has only just started since last thursday...does it say how long it goes for?

Ella makes shopping a nightmare these days. Just wants to touch everything and suck it. Screams if i dont give it to her so we end up having people staring at us! I'm exhausted after every day, my only break is when Ella sleeps - still sleeps well. Put herself to sleep today so she must be adjusted to the daylight savings times.
