Hi everyone,

Olive, oh no on the ear infection. I really hope you get some answers, poor little M.

Meg, hope you get some decent sleep tonight.

Shell, woohoo on the hard rubbish find! Yeah we have moved but I hate it and we're moving again, into dp's dad's house. Can't remember if I mentioned that things turned pear-shaped and mil and her partner and his 2 yappy indoor dogs have moved in with us too. I am hating it so I'm want out. At least dp's dad lives by himself. Living with the inlaws is the only way we are able to save for our own place, and although it's a real pita, it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make, and I'm grateful!

Eek, Ellie, hope all is well now. I love the family pic on fb - congrats again!

Nai, aw a bittersweet moment. She weaned in her own time, and is a very happy little girl with her "bobble" lol, what more could you ask for

OP, woohoo on the big bed. Not long to go now!! DD may get back into bbs when the new one comes along, who knows!

Det, glad to hear the kids are settling in well at school. Good luck to your fil with his op, and what a relief about your mum! Aw Boof's first hair cut - did you keep some?? My mum's still got a small bunch of my hair from my first cut!

Kaz, is J weaning too?? Hope the nights are getting better for you guys.

Hi to everyone else

AFU, L has started walking properly a few days ago, still wobbly and prefers to crawl, but he is walking when he feels like it. We started attending a playgroup a couple of weeks ago as sadly our mothers group isn't working out - most of the mum's are back at work and are too busy, however I do see one mum often (we go to playgroup) and another is keen to still catch up so that's good. Anyway, L seems to be enjoying the playgroup. It's one morning a week for 2 hours and morning tea included and there's a facilitator so it's structured, i.e. different activity areas, outdoor play time, morning tea, story time, songs, then go home. It's great!

Has anyone else got a proper toothbrush for their little one? L doesn't seem to mind it, but I don't think I'm doing a great job at brushing his teeth properly. I must admit, I've only just started doing it regularly, even though he's had 8 teeth for a while now. I am really worried his teeth may be rotting from the sugar from my bm as he feeds all the time, and most of the night. Is this likely??

Anyway, I better get some sleep. I'll check back in again soon xox
