Hi Everyone

Well no more teeth for us just yet, but plenty of wet shirts and runny noses. The two Milly does have are very sharp, and breastfeeding is becoming a bit more dangerous. We have also had a couple of cut gums if she falls over forwards and cuts the top gum with her bottom teeth. Poor little poppet crys so hard she forgets to take a breath and goes all blue in the face. I have to blow on her face to stop her and get her to take a breath. Bit scary the first couple of times, but she is getting better.

Well she has been walking for close to a month now, and is getting very good at it. At first she would only take a couple of steps, and then crawl the rest, but now she prefers to walk and will stand up even if she falls over and keep walking. She loves to pick up Noah's toys and carry them away with her. The tupperware drawer is also a favourite.

As for eating I have been doing baby led solids, and she is just amazing. I find it most fascinating to watch her eat, and she has very good control over how much she wants to eat. Even if you ar espoon feeding yoghurt or custard, she will simply knock it out of your hand once she has had enough. Is anyone else doing baby led solids?

We have just made a major change in our family life too with my husband taking an interstate truck driving job. So we go from having DH looking after the kids in the morning and me in the afternoon, to him being away for up to two weeks at a time and the kids spending more time in the care of the grandparents and daycare. I'm now looking for part time work to balance the family life.

I'm still breastfeeding and expressing at work, but growing very tired of it. I'm finding it harder now to get a full bottle of milk, sometimes taking 30mins to express 30mls. I'm just lucky milly will take water now too.

I hope everyone is well. Sorry for no personals, I'll try to get them in next time.
