Kaz- I am so sorry that your dog has passed away. What a great age to live to though. What sort of dog was she? I hope she is having lots of bones and running around gorgeous parks in doggy heaven. They are such beautiful animals and really do become part of you. Lots of for you and DP. I hope that you have a nice time away.
Nai- on feeling shattered after a week at work. It is such a big adjustment. Thanks for your advice on CC as well. DD will go two days again this week. Tuesday all day and because this week I am only doing 2 days a week I will still send her Wednesday but only for some of the day to hopefully help her adjust. I figure I am paying for it anyway so she may as well go.
OP- So exciting that you know what you are having. Congrats again.
Ellie- good work on having the extra sleep. You need it hun for growing that bundle of yours.
Malyna- the rain is incredible isnt it! We had the biggest thunder stom yesterday afternoon. I pulled the tv and computers out of the wall as I was worried. Congrats on the RAK that you have as well. Such a well deserving person. Cant wait to see an avvy for you!

to everyone else.

AFM- DD took 2 steps today by herself!!!! Think it was a fluke though as she wouldnt do it again. She is a bit of a machine with her walker now.

I know all babies develop at different rates but what words do you think your baby understands now? I am worried I dont talk enough to DD. I know weird but sometimes I have to remind myself that I need to speak to her about what we are doing more. She doesnt really have any words. Doesnt even say da da anymore. Just wondering what others are saying. I am also guilty of not reading to her very often. Today we sat down and read a book and she loved it and I felt a bit bad that I dont do it more.

I bought DD a plastic ball today from coles with thenobby bits all over it. It lasted 5minutes before Winston my dog destroyed it. Lucky it was only $3.00
