Hi Mini! You've got a bit of catching up to do.... I think this is the 3rd post natal thread isn't it?
Now I've started to get all worried about handwaving etc and then decided NO not going to google it Malcolm's fine. Kalo12 if you're still here he's nearly 8 months, does not babble but makes monkey noises (like OOO!!! OOOO!!! OOOO!!!) and single syllable consonants, does not point and don't think he puts his arms out to stop a fall but not sure. Used to do a lot of stomach crunches but I think this just trying to sit up. Hope that helps you feel a bit less worried!
Am now at my parents - we got back from Rome on Monday night and then got go ahead to start bulding work today so spent yesterday unpacking, re-packing and emptying the conservatory (which has now been knocked down as we getting an extension built instead) and today drove out here with Malcolom. On Saturday we're driving to Scotland for a week's holiday and then back for 5 days before going to Sardinia for a week. So things a bit hectic!
Anyway Rome was FAB. We had such a good time with Malcolm; he was an absolute joy. I'll try to put a picture up. We didn't queue to get into anything but just wondered around in the sun looking at ancient stuff and going to the vatican city (and we had a wedding to go to too). The one not so good bit was when we decided to go out for a meal with friends in the city centre on Friday night. With Malcolm It was such a bad idea I can't believe we did it -going out in a strange city in a foreign country on a friday night with a massive unwieldy buggy on the underground, and then trying to find the right bus, then deciding we were going the wrong way and getting off the bus and spending ages trying to find out where we were then walking and Rome is not a very safe place for pedestrians! All the while our poor baby screaming and screaming and I was just thinking we'll get to the restaurant and feed him and send him to sleep in his buggy but the buggy wouldn;t go up the stairs of the restaurant even folded up , and the restaurant was so cramped there wasn't even enough space for everyone to sit down so we left straight away. And we couldn't bear the though of doing it all again to get home so got in a taxi without a carseat and held onto the little man so tightly all the way back. I really can't believe we were such idiots
Who died in Neighbours? I only know the old timers Harold, Lou, Karl and Susan. Is Paul Robinson still in it? He was back last time I watched properly but had a brain tumour or something I think.
Princess your christening pics are lovely (glad the party went well too - good weather?) and also great to see Lee and Harry in their school uniforms.
Count - excellent to hear work nicely sorted. Sorry to hear about illnesses Count and Rozzy. M's had a very runny nose for a week or so but only seemed unhappy the first couple of days. It is disgusting though. He had this bogey I was trying to get out of his nose for DAYS. I just couldn't get it as he's very wise to it and bats my hand away and twists his head but I couldn't even get a good grip on it when he was asleep. It came back from Italy with us and I finally succeeded late on Monday night.
Well done on tooth Ginger! It's so exciting isn't it? We spent ages staring at Malcolm thinking he was so amazing for growing a tooth.
Right - that's all. What a massive post - it's so nice not to be in my own house and be able to spend all evening on the computer and not feel like I should be doing something else or going to bed at the same time as DP. And Malc has slept well (relatively well) so far tonight so only had one interruption (wanted to leave that to last in case I jinxed myself!)
Good night.
