Miss E- how's Ash going with his walking attempts? Clever little man enjoy your sister's visit, it'll be great now that Ash is old enough to interact with his cousins. how old are they?

Heather- any luck with Jesse's job search or is he still driving you mad at home? Lol

I can't believe it is June! Another month and we'll all be reminiscing about that day 12 months ago...lol. I still find it hard to comprehend I have a child, let alone a one year old!
Hayley now has almost three teeth, her first top one popped through a few days ago. I didn't even realise it was coming through! I don't think her 2nd top tooth is that far away either. She has started grinding them though, god it is a horrible sound! And she keeps trying to bite, sometimes in frustration when I'm trying to get her arms through her clothes and sometimes I think she just wants to relieve the pressure in her gums.

I ended up buying a teething necklace for her. I don't know if it is doing a whole lot, but i think she has been a bit happier when her top tooth came through. Her sleep did improve for a couple of days but is back to where it was now. 48 hours after she'd been wearing it she only woke up once at about 3am, and the night after she slept right through. We had gone out for dinner so it may have been because she was exhausted from that and getting to bed late.

DF has put his foot down about her sleeping in our bed so that hasn't helped things the last few nights. Although last night he was out at a job and didn't come home so I put her in bed with me when she woke up at 5am...she was all bright and bubbly and I'm thinking NOOO we are not starting the day this early!! A couple of nights ago (when he said enough is enough) she was awake for 3 hours crying because he wouldn't give her back to me to settle her down and he was going to make her sleep in her cot. Sure, I'd love her to sleep all night in her cot too but I'm not waiting up for 2 or 3 hours everytime she wakes up trying to get her to go back to sleep! She won't be in our bed forever and it doesn't hurt anyone, at least we both aren't tired and cranky the next day. I don't know why he's so hung up on it, he says he wants his bed/me back, but he's normally up until 2 or 3am working and Hayley sleeps on my other side so he can still snuggle up to me if he wants. I hate thinking it, but sometimes I think it would be easier if it was just me & DD because he just doesn't seem to understand why I do what I do, after all he might have stayed up with us for those 3 hours trying to get her back to sleep, but he isn't the one that then has to look after a grumble bum all day.

Her crawling has really taken off, she zooms around everywhere now. I put her outside on a picnic rug today while I was collecting some wood for the fire and she ended up about 10m off the rug in the grass! So I think she has found her adventurous side now! she started saying something that sounds like "duck" yesterday too. I don't know if that's what she's trying to say but it sounds pretty close so that's good enough for me

Hows everyone else going?
