Hi Amanda! Glad to hear Violet's doing so well I can't help much with the getting them to settle and go to sleep in the cot by themselves, Alex is still cuddled to sleep on my lap in the chair in his room every time. He's also just weaned

Alex has been walking since 10.5 months, is almost running these days which certainly keeps me on my toes, plus he's going to be a big brother come September. His favourite toys at the moment are his trucks (so cute, he pushes them around going brrrrrrrmmmmm!) his wheelybug and his box-cubby (huge box I cut a door and a window into). Oh and anything he can swipe out of my baking cupboard. I need a new rolling pin, he's snaffled mine.
