My DD was like that Ty. Its like they think- ooh I can do that. Right, off to the next thing! For a little while she found crawling faster, but not for long. She's trying running now and ran into a door frame this morning. She has a large welt between her eyes, down her nose and to her lip. I sense this is just one bump of many....
Baaad night last night. We stayed with a friend and DD is not a fan of the travel cot so I co-slept with her.....well tried to. Normally she's fine with co-sleeping. Last night she had ants in her pants and shifted position I am not kidding every few seconds including trying to drape herself across my head at one point. She comfort sucked for a long while which helped me doze then came off but obviously wanted to be sure she could find me in the dark again so kept hold of a nipple. 
. This was not comfortable for me....unsurprisingly. The histrionics when I tried to prise her little fingers from me was quite something and I compounded my friend's DH's opinion that he never wants children as her shrieks could be heard through the walls. I ended up taking DD downstairs for a bit where she gazed at the tropical fish tank. So I did not get much sleep worse luck. Fortunately we managed to drop off at 3 but woke up at 8. DD is now fast asleep but struggled to get there tonight. Fingers crossed she stays asleep!! The nipple thing did have me wondering about stopping bfing in the middle of the night 
. So did me laying on my back and DD throwing herself on me for a feed and restricting my ability to breathe.......
To answer NoHun's question from the last thread. DD has 4 teeth. Both front ones top and bottom. No sign of the other yet.
Off to try a name change....

Oh mock / huggy what a night! Hope tonight is better. Every time I see the words Pom Bear I want to eat some
ty ds did that with the walking too, did a few steps, then didn't bother again for a while. Don't worry before you know it you'll be running around after her all day long...
We've been busy getting organised for ds's first skiing holiday, am excited but a bit nervous! I will only ski a couple of mornings I think, I mainly want to spend the time with ds. There will be another toddler and his mum at the chalet too, but I am a bit nervous as ds loves to be outside a lot, and not sure how easy that will be. He's been practising walking in his snow boots though, looks very cute! 7 sleeps to go... (14 for ds!)

(I mean breastfeeding is lovely, not tweaking nipples, for the avoidance of doubt )

Ohhh no ds won't be skiing, we will be playing in the chalet and venturing out into the snow for aa little play every now and then and maybe try some gentle sledging. We're going with a big group though so there is another toddler and a baby, so we will have company in the day and its such a beautiful place to go, and the chalet is well staffed so I can just put my feet up while ds naps, which is all I ask from a holiday these days
I miss the co-sleeping cuddles, ds just won't sleep in our bed though, he thinks its a giant trampoline, so I have to make do with morning cuddles

2.5 I reckon for skiing. Its the age I started (I was born and brought up in the Highlands) and they're fearless at that age. Lots of alpine children ski from that age, legs very wide apart, bombing down hills regardless of others! Your holiday sounds lovely TF 
. I would recommend self catering if you go to Europe NoHun. They think vegetarian is eating no red meat but serve up fish and chicken as if it hasn't breathed and lived, I think a lot of Europeans would find veganism a mystery (Particularly in Bulgaria where I think they have a national allergy to veg)- although I am sure you could find vegan chalets. America would be good as they are very friendly to different kinds of diets although the disadvantage is its FREEZING and not great for kids in that regard whereas when you stop for a hot chocolate and apple strudel in Europe you can get a lovely tan and eat outside quite comfortably! I am jealous TF!
DD had a lovely bf this evening and stroked me then climbed into bed wuite happily which was very nice compared to the last 2 night .

just been onto Youtube and was looking for the lyrics of Autumn Days as my Dnephew's been singing it for school. Sang along then clicked on colours of day. For a split second I couldn't remember it then suddenly was like OOOHH! And sang along. Something I don't think I'd be doing in company!! ....All together now..So light up the fire and let the flame burn, open the door let Jesus return....remember it?! Happy days. .

Those songs take me back a bit!
Wow huggy you have skied in a lot of places! I have only skied in France, plus switzerland once (for our honeymoon). I would like ds to start at 2.5 - 3 ish but only as much as he enjoys doing. I suspect he will be better than me within a few hours. He is already better than me at catch . I am sooo not naturally sporty!

Car seat was our other issue with fly/drive. 3kids + cases+ buggy + car seat on a plane. 
.
Italy is lovely. It's on our list but I wouldn't like to drive when there. It was quite fast!
