Hi!
Ds is 9 months today! Yey! Also a shortie- 70cm today, grown2 cm this month but that's v small in the centiles chart. I'm 5'5' and dh ids only 5'10 so we're not expecting a giant. How small is small, suzi?
He claps his hands well, and always says "ca ca ca" at the same time, so I guess it's the first word that we know means something but not a very exciting one! It's quite amusing actually, as he holds his left hand still and hits it with his right one! Seems to start foing it when he hears music, too. He sang back to me today, quite sweet.
Suzi, ds has rolled back to front twice but hates it so just doesn't. He cannot hold himself on all fours either, well he did today when I put him in that position but hates is so much he just squirms out of it. He certainly could not rock! If he's sitting he can easily move in a full circle in about 3 minutes, and the legs go to one side like he's going to set off but there's definitely no danger of that! The problem with being able to move like that is he does it quickly in the bath in my direction and tries to pull himself out! He loves the bath but I think he loves the mobility more. He's been pulling up for a while now, if we hold our fingers out but hasn't realised other objects are just as useful, fortunately! That's the stage where everything is moved 3' higher, isn't it?!
He woke at 6am today, wide awake, yesterday was 7 and it had been 8 for the previous...don't know how long. Am not having 6am! He fell asleep on me while having his morning feed and wouldn't go down for his afternoon nap. He doesn't always need one but he did today. We went out for a walk which was fine as it was lovely but I'm worried about him not wanting to go to bed. So much for good weather, we've got thunder and lightening now!
Twiga when ds started shaking his head I would automatically say "no" just like an association but then I thought it could just be the beginning of a bad idea, so we just play with it now! I'm sure he'll find out what no means soon enough....he is his father's son 
.
Have a good night's sleep everyone..and a lie in for those who need it!

I bet he's dead cute though. My ds was 53cm at birth. He was 20lb 8oz last week, phwoar, flippin' heavy though I know there are heavier ones. And the thighs! Puts me to shame!
Rugby player's legs, we say.

He's super cute . In fact, you can see him here on my (rather sad!) montage...

He does the head shaking thing too. I find it hysterical as he seems to do it everytime we say "time for a nap"

queenrollo - sending you hugs honey, you sound like you need them ((((((((((((())))))))))))) Are there any MNetters near you? Maybe you could meet up with them. I've said it before, but start driving again. I passed my test between having my boy and I'm so glad that I did as it's given me so mcuh more freedom. It did take me 3 attempts
Suzi2 - what a cute montage! That is one cute little boy you've got there, loved the flowery shirt by the way, the ds's have ones that are very similar.
The weather has been beautiful the past few days so we've been out in the garden lots and I have discovered that it is a lot easier to put sun cream on ds2 than on ds1, although he can get a sun hat off an awful lot quicker.
Ds2 is cruising around now and there is no stopping him, he can pul himself up on anything, including me!! I'll be standing in the kitchen and I'll fel these little sharp finger nails digging in my legs ouch!!
He seems to be over his cold now and is sleeping ok again, sympathies to those with porrly babies, especially you Wilbur the ds's had chickenpox one after the other last year.

Ds restored my faith this afternoon- went to bed awake and fell asleep. Oh the good old days. Maybe he did it for me bacause mil was here and she's sooo critical. But oh! 'twas short lived as he sobbed his little heart out tonight
and I just can't bear it. It's so not him I can't understand it. I just don't know am I putting him down too early, too late, is he in pain with more teeth, is he just getting clingy??? Until we come out the other side and he reverts I don't think we'll know. Dh is home in the morning, till 5pm Sun so that takes a load off.
Queenrollo- I'm sorry for you. You did sound really let down. Our Mum's group was cancelled on Mon for the May day hols, massage was cancelled on Tues as the hv was away, and the gaelic toddler group was cancelled today as there's exams in the school- didn't know this one was cancelled too though and had got us over there for 10am! Quite annoyed too as they had phoned 2 weeks ago when there was an open day but not today, 2 others had gone too. I know what you mean about the way some kids are dragged up- it breaks my heart and can hardly bare to be near these people, but we're quite lucky here, a small community, and I was at school with most of the girls with small children so we know each other quite well. Nice of your PIL, they must be quite supportive. Hang in there, it's nice to get to the groups and have someone else make you a cup of tea.
Suzi I got the photos, adorable! LOL at the sunglasses!

Hi all
was at away at a wedding this weekend dd looked very cute all dressed up. it was watching everyone clapping at the wedding that made her join in all of a sudden in the middle of the speaches there was a little clap clap awww
hope getting out to see your friends helps queenrollo, i know what you mean about the dragging up, its like if you see kids with coke in there bottle, there was a girls in DS class for a while in foster care and her and her wee sister aged 2 had all there teeth out as they were fed coke, how could anyone be so nasty.
suzie what lovely pics he is really cute, he doesnt look small, maybe that just me, i dont know how big dd is to be honest she appears to be the right size for her age in clothes so thats good enough for me!!
we still have no teeth, can sit in crawl position but not keen, fav passtime and toy is a ball, she loves to sit and roll a ball back and fore DS especially loves this as he feels she is now playing with him and he wants to do it all the time - its strange hearing you all saying your babies are 9 months now as DD was just 8 months last week

Oh kipper, thenks. I was low and took it right to heart, I lose confidence very easily nad felt quite lonely. Now feel quite as he cut tooth no. 5 today, it was clearly just that, saw the doc and there's no sign of ear infection. I really was being neurotic then! He went for his nap yesterday pretty well and tonight went to bed awake for the first time in a long time, fell asleep before I even had his blanket tucked in!
Little darling. His giggles and smiles are back and we had a lovely day at my friends, walked to massage and back and had lunch out. This is what life's all about! Hope you all had good weather too, we had 26 degrees.
We received a wedding invitation today, for July, no mention of ds on it though so will need to check if he's invited. The couple have 2 children already so I imagine so. Almost excited at the thought of him in a mini kilt, probably justabout walking!
Ds is 40 wks on Thurs- LOl at your thought kipper, I thought the same! 20lb 12oz and 70cm today.
