Hi everyone

Sorry I hardly every get to come in here anymore Happy birthday to everyone that I missed and I am so glad to read that everyone is doing well

So a bit of an update. Thank you for the birthday wishes. Grace had a lovely birthday and family birthday party but came down that night with Croup. It was horrible and she was so bad for about a week, got better and then got worse again. She seems to be past the worst of it now though. All I can say is thank goodness it was school holidays so we could be home with her the whole time.

Along with the croup Grace broke her teething necklace, and then two days later cut her first two teeth but it is fixed now and her top two teeth are just about to cut now, so finally she'll be able to bite things poperly We also had a milestone today. Grace has been walking holding our hands for months and I have been getting a bit stressed about her not walking on her own but last night we were out with a baby the same age who was walking so I told her 'look at that baby, she can walk, how about you try too' so she did I was so proud. She spent the rest of the evening following the baby around. Then this afternoon she walked to me at daycare and then used her walker, then walked away from it so happy

Grace started daycare, 4 days a week, and love it. The carers said she is such an easy baby and so happy all the time. I'm so glad she is doing well but I still wish I was home with her more often. Ok, Lumpy is wanting cuddles so I'll hope to read how you are all going soon
