ok, so my own update...
Roo is marvelous. Just absolutely wonderful. He is happy and excited about everything. He enjoys kisses, less so cuddles as that means keeping still, but occasionally he snuggles in, he loves his big sister, absolutely adores her, follows her, copies her, laughs at her, kisses her. He is walking properly in that 'i can walk well but still look like i might fall over at any moment' type of manner, everytime he walks it is like the first time and he grins with glee. He is eating for england mostly, apart from teething, and apart from milk. He really is not bothered. He drinks a bit if offerd (ursi like paula i think?) but not bothered if not, he drinks water well though. He loves most food, including spice and strong flavours.
He is developing slight obsessive tendencies, which surprise me, likes to clean his hands (not hereditary, DD can give or take that!), likes things to be put back where they belong, often comes to get me if things fall down or move from where they 'live'. He has tantrums quite regularly, not little ones but proper meltdowns. He dislikes being shut in anywhere, hates the stairgates being shut, even if he doesn't want to get past, if he sees it being shut he will go into meltdown, throw himself on the floor, bang his head, wiggles his legs, cry, act like he is badly injured, then get distracted by Ben and Holly and all is fine within moments! Or, if like the other day, nothing can console him, can last for 45 mins (i was at work 
)
Speech is good, as with others' babies (babies? yeah course!) he likes 'no' and recently gone from 'nooooh' to 'noooooooooowh' in local accent style, followed by taking the thing he wants! He also puts arms in the air and says 'yey'!!! a lot!. Says lots of good words, but mostly 'there!' and pointing!
Sleep - mostly getting there, the change of clocks saw a huge change, went from 4:30-5am starts to 6:45am. And slept a few times through, now he tends to sleep from 7pm-5:30am, wakes for a bit, cries, we ignore him, back to sleep after 10-20mins til 6:30am. Sometimes he does not wake (and DD does) and sometimes he wakes 2-3 times a night. But he is napping like a clock at 11am on the dot.
Breastfeeding. Mostly stopped, not in the mornings for brekky, or at night for bed, sometimes in the afternoon, some days not for 2 days. Never in the night now. Not entirely sure he gets anything when he asks. He says 'booboo' and giggles, with expectation but not really wanting it (like Paula ursi8, again!) just trying it on i think, and not upset if not offered. Then, like over the last week, just as I think it is finished, he becomes insistent and very upset without it, throws himself into position grabs top and cries 'booboooooooo'! i still give in, much to DHs dismay (i read that article erica* ). He won't feeding in a year so don't mind really.
Family life. My children are wonderful. My DD is the most attentive caring little sister. I am blessed.
But f**king knackered
