ah MFD Mummy comes later, especially when they want something

Phew - I thought I had broken the thread!
He can say mummy quite clearly, he just chooses not too.
He also chooses to say 'mum' when you show him a picture of a cow or ask him what sound a cow makes...because he is a little monkey!!
Is it hometime yet?please listen to MFD - she is a wise woman

Picked up the freebie door bouncer and T loves it
tried to take pics but standing still was not an option!
Some more lovely pics been posted I see x
T keeps biting me and it really hurts
she even made me cry! But it's really more of a nip cos it's over quickly so the pushing her into my boob doesn't work as she's already stopped. I hope this doesn't carry on as I'm enjoying bf for the best part.
D has started doing this too - mainly when he is trying his hardest not to fall asleep
. I keep taking him off, saying NO in a really firm voice then bunging him back on. It mostly works
Brum ladies - are you taking a picnic lunch or eating out? Would any of you like to take home a cute little boy but one who has no concept of sleep? He is seriously doing my head in!The one thing children wear out faster than shoes is parents

Alice has started sometines calling me "Mum" or "Mam" but I just don't answer to those names. I was Mama but OH kept calling me Mummy instead so that's what she calls me now. (Although I seem to spend a lot of the time being Alice or Christopher Robin or Percy or some other character so what I'm called becomes a bit of a moot point.)My_Fathers_Daughter wrote: »Benjamin is a b00ger for this!! I will hoover everywhere and he will bend down and pick up the tiniest speck of something that the hoover missed and bring it to me shouting 'mum, mum, mum' as if he is telling me that I am crap at housework :rotfl::rotfl:
I seem to have gone straight to being mum for him now, mamma if he is particularly whingey - no mummy in my house, not ever

Hammy - I've not decided yet*.
SM - where do you put your pushchair on the train?

Susan - I'm Mummy, Wicked Witch or Scarecrow. It's Daddy or Tinman. If you ask Katie her name her answers Dorothy from Kansas, or rarely Katie and I live down a grid (thanks Grandad)
I got some excellent news yesterday of my nephew - his dad/my brother has a girlfriend!!!! It's only taken almost 9 years. The family are really chuffed as exSIL really did a number on him.Proud to be dealing with my debts

MDW, if it's an umbrella fold and you're taking her out of it then you can shove the buggy on the overhead luggage part usually, or there are sometimes luggage bays in the middle/at the end of rows but they're not always tall enough to take pushchairs... If you wanted to keep her in it, find the disabled carriage and there's usually space for a buggy and seat (or pull down seats) The world is your lobster...
In answer to Hammy's question... No idea, depends how organised I am in the morning lol...
And Caitlyn doesn't call me anything, Mum or otherwise...A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...My Fathers Daughter wrote: »Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.
