To want to spend the evening saying 'boo' to my 7 month old just to make him smile at me?

[SueBaroo]

I know I need to do stuff, but really, he's edible.

So do the stuff tomorrow

no YANBU
I spend hours singing to DS and 'conducting' with his arms, which gets him grinning and gurgling every time.

We once played peek a boo for an hour go for it before he can walk away from you!

yanbu yanbu
can I come round and play?

No - most important thing you can do. Babies need to be gazed at - it helps them grow.

yabu - you need to be rubbing your cheek against his cheek and feel how lovely and chubby it is instead!

actually I found myself woofing at dd2 for ages because it made her laugh

No - you need to be doing that bicycling thing with his legs too. And blowing bubbles to watch his face.

or

do what dh and dd1 are doing at the moment.

running and singing around the dining room.

I had to put him to bed, he starting scrunching up his face and crying in between giggles. Oh I love this. He's my last baby, too, so I am completely incorrigible

still think yanbu

oh gods! NO!
they are only that AGE ONCE.

i'd do it. sod the housework, dishes, laundry.
it can all wait. babies grow TOO FAST.
