miss e - hope you're enjoying your time with your sister & ash is having a great time with his cousins

heva - that's great news about isaac starting to get the hang of sitting down again - it's so good to knock another frustration out of the way for them! i'm sorry to hear that your DF isn't working yet - i have my that something comes up really soon. and i hear you on nappy changes....arrrrrgh!!!

lovelycate - your trip to nz sounds like a fab way to celebrate zac's 1st birthday! gosh, it's all coming round so quickly!

ss_storm - how are you guys going with the sleeping arrangements? i know i posted in your other thread, but i really think your DF needs to let you call the shots on this one because you have to deal with the fallout the next day! i know my DP isn't necessarily keen on our sleeping arrangements (now corey is on a single mattress on the floor in his room & i co-sleep from about midnight) but he figures that we do what we need to for me to be able to function the next day!!

afu, corey is over his cold now & has been in the bestest of moods in the last couple of days...it's almost like he's changed again - he chatters almost all day (no idea where he gets that from ) and is turning into the most affectionate baby - he even wants to hug his swimming teacher at the end of the lesson i am still in denial that our babies are almost 1. what a complete spinout!! this time last year i was lazing around at home, having afternoon naps, on a baking frenzy, staying up late listening to the french open on the radio & sleeping in till 10 or 11.....
