My goodness ... the last time I posted in here I was talking about starting to try for a second bub ... how things have changed!

Willow turned one on March 11.
Admitted to hospital on March 16, discharged and then readmitted on March 19 - 22 ... all for treatment for a severe gastro bug.
We are walking, running and tantruming ...

And now DH and I are contemplating having an only child.
Or at the very least, a much bigger break between kids then we first thought.

Willow is just so demanding of time and attention, it's hard to imagine where I would find time to spend with another bub - well, at least at this stage anyway.
I was chatting to a friend of mine, at her son's 2nd Birthday party and she agreed that the 10-18 month age group is a really trying time.
Willow can do so much, walk/run/grasp/lift/tackle stairs ... but there is so much she doesn't understand, like danger, height, deepth perception. So 'Helicopter Mum' has to be around at all times to check she's not going to break an arm or leg.

What is everyone's toddler like on food?
Willow is ok with some lumpy stuff, but we struggle most days with cut up fruit - she treats the pieces like a toy (squishes them or throws them around the table). We have great success with sultanas, she will eat up to a box of them (the small, snack size boxes) but that's about it for finger food fruit. If I want her to eat more fruit it has to be mashed.
