Sunny I have been forced to do the old elastic thru the cost to at least save only having one mitten by time I notice they are off! And I have to say, once her hands get cold, she does tend to keep them on. But holds her arms so stiff, and refuses to move them at all. According to dd mittens mean stick like arms!
Curly, dd is still a rubbish sleeper at night too! I'm pleased when it's only two wake ups.
Cup magical moments buying those first outfits. Enjoy the rest to come.
I haven't seen a HV for ages with dd, since we moved there was a mix up with them and I keep getting forms to register with the new ones, which i fill in and send back, on my fourth lot not tho, so guessing something somewhere is a miss. I should probably take this new lot back in person and sort out.
Her understanding is much better than her communication. I am very aware that it being just us mainly I need to make sure she doesn't become pointy and 'uhhy' over everything but try to make an effort to get her to communicate properly. Such a sign they are growing up.
Having a bit of a 
day, have decided I have to rehome my dog. I can't give her everything she needs and we are in a smaller house now. She deserves more and although I know this I feel utterly awful at having to even consider this. But it will be better for her, and I hope she will be a lot happier.
