Eww to floorboard grime bugsy 
but Molly totally does that too.
Happy birthday boys!
birdies we have a hard floor with rugs on. To be honest I haven't noticed a difference to the carpets we'v got in the bedroom in terms of being tricky with the little ones. Most bumps and bruises have happened as a result of falling onto chairs/table legs/cupboard doors rather than anything directly floor-related of course there was the time Molly fell off the changing mat onto the lino-covered concrete floor
meringue hang in there with nursery. Glad it was better this afternoon - it will get better I promise. I took Molly in to hers this morning as it was my first day back at work and after I put her on the floor, she crawled off without so much as a backward glance. She's quite clingy at the moment too. It's horrid but you are a great mummy! Big good luck hugs
LOL at the fall lolli hope you diddn't do any serious damage
Molly isn't pointing at all, although she still does her waving and 'ello' calls when someone comes in a room. She says 'doudou' when she sees her comforter thing (French word for it, which we use too bc of DD1) and one thing she's just strated doing is holding a phone up to her ear if she gets her hands on one. She also does tongue clicking apple 
I was there with you today tugs! First day back in the office and it was strange but also so much better than I was expecting. Talking to lots of different people about things that do not revolve around baby sleep/behaviour/trouble was strangely interesting 
glorious DD1 has a toy kitchen which Molly plays with just as much if not more than her! There are some brill ELC velcro veggies that you can 'cut' and Molly tends to sit sticking and unsticking the two halves of the tomato for hours!
