I'm loving this age as well! So much fun.

DH was more excited about AF that I was, as it means we can start ttc again. I don't think he's serious. So not ready for that! Seven months is pretty good considering we never exclusively breastfed.

We are home now. It was a good trip. Managed to squeeze in Canberra as well so saw all my aunties/uncles/grandparents etc. Not bad considering they are so spread out! Bubby was so good with all the travelling and visiting. Plane didn't bother his ears at all!

I feel like we've brought a different baby home. When we left, he was commando crawling a few metres. Now he's hands & knees crawling all over the house. Super clingy & grizzly, whereas before he would play on his own quite happily. Now if I walk out of the room he starts crying, and got quite worked up today when I was hanging washing on the line. Hard to tell if he just misses the constant interaction from his grandparents & uncles, teething, or an attachment phase. Any ideas? Need to wear him more, or put him in the pram so he can at least see me... Contrary to MIL's advice "let him cry a bit, he needs to get used to playing on his own."
