I'm shattered. Anyone else?

My girls will be 13 months old on Saturday, and I'm absolutely exhausted. The baby stage was okay for uswe had (and still do havethey reliably sleep from 7pm-8am without a peep) a brilliant routine, so the babies have always been very good sleepers--but ever since they started walking at the end of 9 months, things have been getting steadily harder. They're now close to running, are experimenting with climbing, and are into absolutely everything. They also fight a LOT over toys and will wrestle/pull hair/shove each other around. They constantly want to be interacting with me and also constantly need monitoring. Between the teething and the fallout of their 1 year injections last week, it's been a bit of a nightmare this last week.

Anyone else want to commiserate?

It does get easier! I remember this stage well and spending a lot of time in enclosed parks. It was over winter and I bought all in one waterproof suits which were great. They could fall into puddles, long wet grass, mud etc and were still happy. My DS enjoyed doing basic puzzles which would amuse him, but my DD was useless at entertaining herself. I do remember sitting down ever afternoon before they woke up from their nap for 1/2 hour, to recharge my batteries.

My twins are four next week and im still exhausted now but its a joy to have them though
