Wow, that last post of mine was only 5 weeks ago, but so much has changed! Thor's now walking and running, sleeping through the night (he's only woken one night in the last 3 weeks), and I'm not in the least concerned about his vocabulary - as well as signing milk, drink, and finished, he says mamam, daddy, that (with a very clear 't' at the end), taa, duck, fish, shoes, grandma, and tickle. And possibly dinosaur, which comes out as 'dodo', but that was just this morning, so we'll see if he says it again. His favourite word is 'that', which we are hearing and answering alllllllllllll daaaaaaay, but the cutest is shoes, which sounds like 'jizzzzzz'.

Miss Dee, 'hello Daddy' is so cute! I know DP's stresses just melt away when he comes home and has Thor run up saying 'Daddyyyyy!' Congrats on setting a date. There must be so much to plan and decide on!

Planning a 1st b'day party is enough for me right now. We've invited about 130 people, including kids, but we kind of know that about half won't be able to make it, like almost all of DPs family. His Mum will come, so she'll get to meet my family for the first time. That'll be interesting!

Dr Tal, it must be quite nice now that A is a little bigger and is able to defend herself when need be from her older brother. An irl friend has the same age gap, and as sister is only 3 months now, she's completely at his mercy when it comes to excessively loving cuddles, feeding her muesli bars, etc! Good on you for getting the checks doen for dS's speech... better to know about it sooner and get it treated, rather than let it go too long if there is something not quite right.

terry, your party sounds lovely. I really hope we get the weather to be outside, too!
