Mel - oh my goodness...... STEPS!! at least your house would already be pretty babyproofed ??

My mum and dad had lachlan on NYE so we could go out (cos we're moving to a town with no family and 1 friend LOL) .... next morn I went and got him and he's commando crawling. I felt upset they'd seen it first.... but good for them to be a part of his 'first' crawling attempt as we'll be gone in under a week.

so yes LKW is commando crawling everywhere. and it's made me realise how dirty our floors are - his jumpsuits and singlets and nappies get covered in cr@p!!! oh wells.

had our niece (5yo) come stay for 24hours. is she a little miss bossy boots! made me appreciate having only 1 who doesn't talk (besides dad-dad and bub-bub!) .... she said things to me like 'sacha put lachy down and come and tear this out for me' and 'take the washing off the line, no you're doing it WRONG!'.... by the end of the 24hours i was over it..... i told her 'I won't be doing what you say if you speak to me like that' and she said sorry but did it again 5 mins later. is that an age/ sex thing? are little boys like that or is it an upbringing thing. she has much older brothers (same age gap as my step sons to lachlan) so i'm worried he'll be like that too - i caught her stealing his toys again! doesn't like to share at all!

Apart from that nothing much news.... I leave next monday morning for my 674km drive with lachlan. thank goodness mum is coming with me!

hope you're all great! so far 2010 is the best year - our dreams are realised. hope it's the same for you all too!
