8 months - B is 7 1/2 so not quite. Don't wanna rush things, lol!

talking - B says 'dadada', 'a-mum' and lots of babbling too. Don't think the 'dadada' is daddy though, just babble (don't tell DH!)

Walking - my SIL's niece was walking at 9 months -woah! Seems they don't stop changing!

Marni - The playpen is only when I can't be there e.g if I'm having a shower. Otherwise, I'm getting very good at the "No Bosley" "Not for Bosley" repetition.

MCN - Phoenix, how many do you need to be full time during the day?

Clinginess - B is unbelievably clingy with me lately. He has to be crawling on me or isn't happy. Next to, or in sight isn't good enough (unless he decides to crawl away!). The only time I can leave is if DH is around, then he's the one DS clings to!

Well, just spent almost 3 hours trying to get B to have a nap so better make the most of the time I have...
