Ok, time to catch up! I think I'll just do this page.

OP- Sleep is a little better, just waiting for these bloody molars to come through!! There's HUGE lumps there, looks sore. Hope you're getting a bit more sleep! Yay on the steps! Big girl! Not long and you'll be a SAHM again
Kaz- Glad you avoided the mastitis!! What's with all the booby troubles in here?? I thought mastitis and stuff only happened in the early days, shows how much I know!!
Shell- Love the new av if I haven't said it already!! Glad the party was good. I'm a bit worried about DD's on the w/e, seems like more ppl are coming than expected, think it's going to be squishy! Especially if it's raining!
olive- One wake up is awesome!! LOL DD loves fish too, her fav book is Jonah and the whale and she points to all the fish.
Malyna- Hope Alex and DH are feeling better!
Nai- Oh another sick on, feel better!!
Holly- Sorry to hear you aren't feeling too good. What is the Queen Elizabeth Centre? We are having some tantrums here too. I have found it helps to tell her what we are going to be doing, get down on her level and look in her face and tell her, e.g. 'ok, we have to put down the toy now and we're going to go change your nappy'. Some things (like nappy change, sleep time, food, drink) she understands but mostly she has no idea what I'm on about but it just gives her a bit of time and distracts her so she can adjust to the change of activity and we avoid a tantrum. When I thought about it I realised I was just whisking her off to do things I needed to do and she was probably not even aware I was going to grab her and was really in the middle of something so she would get angry at me seemingly coming in and disrupting her all the time. HTH a little.

Well we had a great day for DD's b'day. Did all the things she likes to do, lol. She's so grown up now, a toddler not a baby, and is starting to look like a real little girl and get a real personality, she's so cheeky!! LOL. I am loving this age right now and feel sad she's growing up so quick!
