teru - Good to see you. How have you been? Good to hear Dragon is doing well.

belfie - I had a talk to M and she is prepared to teach X how to walk holding on to hands. What times are X's two naps and what time are you trying to make his one nap? I've been wondering when I would move M to one nap but I reckon she still needs her two naps at the moment.

csab - Good to hear V is doing well with her weight. And glad she's better now but sorry to hear you caught the flu. It's even worse being sick when it's hot! M still babbles a lot and doesn't say many words.

to everyone else.

Well M now has 5 teeth! And a 6th on the way (maybe even more).

I applied for that job, so now will wait and see if they call me up. I really need to get my act together though and sort out child care then for next year. Oppps..

M is walking very well just holding on to one hand AND she has taken a few steps on her own at times with lots of encouragement. Like walking between DH to me. So I'm hoping it means it won't be too long now cos I know she wants to take off.

We got more good news about DH's job. It looks like it's pretty much secure for next year at least. So that is a relief to know he doesn't have to hurry and find a new job. And they've put in the new contract that if anyone is made redundant next year they will get a big pay out. So either way it is a win win. The year after it may not be as secure though.
