    Baby brain yesterday caused me to go to my coat pocket about 5 times to get things out that i kept forgetting.

    And most times i go into a room to get something, forget and walk back out in confusion.

    My SIL had a case of baby brain, she went into town for an optitions appointment and when she got there she had forgotten why she was there so drove back home again :rotfl:

    My baby is so sweet :A I lay her toy boxes on their side and she loves emptying it out herself. I got her a big pink bucket from tesco and she's crawled inside :D

    Very cute BC.

    Got it spend it- I dont know how your OH does it... my SIL works on the special care baby unit and often has to deal with newborns not making it. :( I have to say it has made her quite a hard person over the years.

    Well noisy neighbour was at court yesterday and it was adjourned. :mad: Im guessing it may have something to do with the new evidence I gave yesterday since its the same offence.

    Council are coming today as theres a lot of mould growing behind the kitchen units so cant put plates in some of the cupboards. Obviously they didnt make an appointment and just expected me to be a mindreader. They arrived at 8:30am- so sent them away to come back for 1pm. Theyve got to take kitchen units out and everything. I needed to go shopping too.

    ETA: Oh, congrats EA! youre brave going for another one so soon after the first... im terrified of falling again at the moment!

    Baby brain - I still can't find my keys. I had them last night because I went to the shop, in the car. And now the fairies have stolen them.

    (Any my baby is 19 months old today).

    I know it will be a while yet, but what age can/did you start doing arts and crafty things with your LOs. I really enjoyed this as a child and want to start saving up bits in a box for T to make things with but dont want to be saving to far in advance but on the other hand it can take a while to build a good stash.
    I think we started somewhere between 12 and 18 months. It's quite labour intensive at first though because they tend to want to eat stuff or go wild with it.

    And he sleeps! Huzzah!

    Got a question re development.
    When Landen is on his tummy, he doesnt try to push his head up, or do the mini push ups with his arms, he just kinda snuffles his face into the floor.... He can support the weight f his huge head already but we're not getting on very well with hands. He's discovered his arms are his own and sorta uses them as tools, so keeping his soother in, sucking on his hand when hungry/rubbing his eyes when tired etc....

    Im just wondering if there is something other than tummy time which will help him try to raise his head when he's in that position...He doesnt often reach out for things either....

    Also he doesnt really follow toys held up to him, he does sometimes, but i think he gets distracted by my face LOL (The stunner that I am LOL!!!) is that ok? Im sure it is? Maybe I should get DH to do the toys thing..... he's not as pretty as me ROTFL!

    He's still pretty young, CAFC :) someone with better/more recent memory will correct me, but I don't think you have much to worry about at this point - tummy time and toys to reach for seems to cover it, and <3 months it's no surprise he's not doing much yet :) you will look back at his immobile stage with fond affection once he starts emptying your cutlery draws and leaving toys in the toilet bowl :p
