Ha ha! Josh left his easter egg on the floor in the box, I went into the kitchen to answer the phone, came back and Caitlyn was chomping through half of it!

Edit - it didn't work, how do I put the picture on?

OH and I just made up, or at least agreed that we do stuff differently and different isn't necessarily bad. I should work harder at remembering that.

It is a hard lesson to learn, but the day I got my head around it was the day I grew up. I am a thoroughly better person because of it.

proud mummy moment

Jack was sitting in his inflatable ring thing, he pushed himself forward on to his front and was trying to get out the ring. When he couldn't he rolled over and sat back up again! :j

Don't know why I'm excited - he'll be crawling soon and I'll be tearing my hair out!

Yay - go Jack!!!

Rhys sat in Benjamin's bumbo for lunch, so Benjamin decided he wanted to go in it (he hasn't sat in it for more than 5 seconds since about November!). He can now sit himself in it as well as escape from it!! It is no mean feat to sit yourself in a Bumbo believe me (he nearly fell off the table trying - thanks for catching him Mr Elle )

I'm thinking of putting Molly's travel crib up as a baby cage since she seemed to love playing (but not sleeping) in the crib in Tenerife. That can be today's project.

My other current project is a bit of a sappy one: OH bought me a lovely magnetic notebook for our anniversary, and I'm using it to write little things to Molly in, like milestones and such. I wish I'd started it sooner.

LOL - a baby cage!

Facebook is ace for remembering milestones gone by (if you put them all on there like me!)

I bought this for Benjamin for Christmas, you have just inspired me to write up his first year. Thank you :A

Can't blame him. That does seem pretty fun

MFD, my main problem is his thoughtlessness - he left a bag of tacks on the floor today, wall tacks about 1.5cm long, and I found them when Molly had got hold of them and was playing with them, cue a frantic search for the one that was missing. And then a while ago he was looking for something so I went into the living room to find Molly standing on the changing table, propped up against a mirror, while he was far enough away that he couldn't have caught her if she'd fallen. He does a lot of fantastic stuff with her and he's a great father but I spend most of my time on edge because I'm not always there to scoop up the sharp things or catch her as she throws herself backwards.

He deals with her much differently to the way I do and that's fine, but I also think there are some things that are nonnegotiable and they tend to be the things that stress me out. I hate feeling like I have to idiot check everything he does because he isn't an idiot - he just doesn't see some things I think are obvious.

Edit: sorry Caz, I'm with Charlie and BM
