Whilst you're around, can you name me some of the sites you use for pressie shopping please? I know Halfcost is one of them. I want to get the rest of my Xmas shopping finished soon.

I also like Debenhams because there are normally good sales and good codes and dealextreme.com for little gadgety things. There's a book sale code for a free book set when you spend £5 on heavily discounted books knocking around on this thread somewhere too :money:

CAFC - how old is Landen now? T was 12 weeks before he'd properly hold things in his hands (he just used to bat at them up to then) and from 12 weeks he got stronger and better at this every day. I think he was abot 15 weeks before he startedf actually reaching for things that he wanted.

12 weeks and 2 days
He bats at the hanging things on his play mat but most of the time he just stares and licks his own hands :rotfl:

Baby-led is the best way for everything

We have this walker/ride-on toy for Caitlin and she loves it. The basket on the front is a nice extra. I don't know if they still make it anymore. It seems like it may have been superseded by the Stride to Ride Lion or Dino

Off to investigate, thanks hun xx

CAFC- I would recommend this walker/ride-on and of course the much famed jumperoo.

I just got ID'd in Asda, which I am thrilled about as I am 27 and had Henry in tow! :j:j

I am also :j because MIL has brought me a load of kilner jars, bramley apples and green tomatoes.

Oh yeah I remember the had staring too....that was definitely 12 weeks coz we've loads of photos of him on holiday with his hands infront of his face lol. Sounds like Landen is exactly where he needs to be

CAFC - baby led is definitely the way to go, glad you found your bracelet.

Katie has found a favourite new activity washing up! Kitchen was a bit of a disaster area so loaded all the pans and big stuff in the dishwasher then washed the rest of the stuff by hand, she thought it was fantastic, she was hunting the kitchen for what she could wash! Doubt it will continue when she's older.

Well done Gill, I'm about to make my daily ten inane posts!

Thanks Becles (I'm guessing there's a lot of secret Rebecca's out there!)

I talk to her a lot when we're out and about too. I must look like a lunatic, but that's how kids learn isn't it? Still waiting for my books that everyone else has received *sob*

You can stalk me if you like Sugar! I had to do 11 because one of mine mustn't have been substantial enough!!
