Spotty DS is very risk averse and wouldn't stand on his own at all, even though I knew he could. He started doing it 'accidentally' first, when holding a toy and wanting the other hand for example, he did that on and off for about 2 weeks before consenting to stand on purpose. He was the same with walking, he did it for a day, then refused for nearly a week, now he's back to walking and doing much better with it. He was also cruising for months before standing or walking. T has never face planted or fell over really, when learning to sit, crawl or walk. Total scaredy cat. Glad to hear your DH is on the mend, really hope DS perks up for you tomorrow too. Perhaps you could take him back to the dr if you think the abs should have worked by now?
Happy birthday to babies turning 1. I've decided T is going to have a Thomas Day in June when he's 18m, but we'll have birthday cake on Christmas Day, as DH doesn't like Christmas cake/pudding.
Good luck those doing CC. I've had to start doing it again a bit for T, he's waking 2-3 times a night again, after sleeping through for 3 months. He gets angry now though, and shouts much longer than he did the first time we did it.
