jaki: I wouldn't be worried, kids all progress differently. I don't think Chase will crawl anytime soon because he hates his tummy but I dont want him to crawl until after we come back from thailand cos if he figures out he can move on his own he might be a little shizer in thailand and not want to be in his stroller For rolling I used to sit on the floor with Chase for ages and prop his arm under his body and then try and see if he could roll, or I would help him and then clap and make a big deal out of it. Eventually he figured out how to get his arm out of the way himself to roll over. For sitting the dr's at the hospital said I had to help him strengthen his back so when he sat I sat behind him and held his hips and bum in place so he could move his top half all around and not fall over. Now he is getting much better at sitting, still throws himself back every so often, but he will sit and play and actually sits up quite straight now instead of being nearly folded in half. Lots of nudey time helps too Not sure if anything I did actually helped him learn this stuff but I like to take a tiny bit of credit lol

sammie: Is MJ excited to have DSS around all the time?? Although I guess at 13 he might not have time for a toddler lol I was reading ur thread about him having to move in with you because his mother was a cow, its prob better that he is with you than her anyway.

oh crap i wanted to write to everyone else but chase just woke up! BBL
