Hello everyone! Busy busy busy again LOL.

We had a terrible night here last night with lots of wakeups - he is getting another tooth up the top - his 6th - and it must have been giving him curry. And the teething poos started today too. I brought some cupboard door locks today and I will put them on tonight as Alister is always into the cupboards now any chance he gets. I think he wont be far off walking now either - he has his corn popper bike (I think there is a picture in my Gallery of him standing at it) and he walks along behind it hanging onto the handle. his balance when he stands alone is getting really good too - he even took a step towards me yesterday as I made him stand up alone, but just far enough away from me that he couldn't hang onto me and he took a step so he could grab my leg! (ok, so maybe it was more like a lunge and he put his foot out but I'm having a mummy moment LOL) And the big news too is that his new favourite word is MUM MUM MUM MUM MUM!!!!!! LOL - Dada doesn't even get a look in now. He is just growing too fast now.

Temps - I usually give it when they feel feverish, it is really hard to get an accurate temp from them with a thermometer and I don't have a fancy-schmancy ear one LOL. I just squirt it in quick before he realises or I mix it in a bottle of milk and he has it that way. Paige would never take panadol no matter what I tried and I would have to sit up with her with a wet flannel on her head till the fever broke - sometimes it would take hours. Then when she was about 18mths old she started letting me give her panadol.
