    I think they all need to have a go at being devil child sometimes... who wants to be good all the time, that's no fun :D Just wait until he is crawling, that's when all the fun starts, an the safety gates, and the locking things up :rotfl:

    Life here is good thank you , albeit quite noisy, and we have another little surprise on the way :)

    I hope TJ lets you get enough sleep, I think that's the difference between an enjoyable first year and Hell :eek:

    He's a roller so we have had to get the place sorted earlier than expected lol and :O congratulations :D

    He's not bad at sleeping most nights...maybe has me up once unless he's had a particularly bad day with teething etc...I can say though he is mostly pleasant child so the first 4and a half months have been pretty good (outside the first 6 weeks where he was a screamer lol) xx

    Hey everyone,

    Figure I should jump in here too. :) Amy is now 9 weeks old unbeliveably. She gave us a real scare last week and ended up in the children's ward for 5 days with what turned out to be a bad uti. The whole thing was pretty horrific, but she's home now and regularly treating us to huuuge smiles and grins. She really is the best thing dh and I have ever done. :heart:

    Lol, RGB at grownups, still not sure I feel like one of those!
    :heart: Mummy to an amazing little girl :heart:

    Hi to RBG and Garnetlady! Glad both babies are well and Amy is ok after her hospital visit.

    All is good with us. We took Poppy swimming for the first time yesterday, think she enjoyed it.. we had no crying anywa. I dunked her right under at the end and she looked a bit shocked hehe.

    Welcome RBG and Garnett.

    PP/Delain - How do you change a baby on a bus???

    I do find its kids who stare when you BF, I guess because they haven't learnt the social etiquette to look away and are somewhat curious. Maybe it makes me uncomfortable because I half expect them to say something or ask a question. One of my friends kids saw me feeding once and asked why I had pink nipples and not brown ones like her mummy!

    With great difficulty :o and without a lie flat buggy it isn't really possible! It's something I wouldn't do 5 minutes from home, only if it was a long trip and if the baby is very upset or the problem looked like it might escape the nappy :rotfl:

    I either change them lying in the pushchair or on my lap.. and just the same as doing it at home.

    Re children watching you bf.. it is often because they don't know what you are doing because they have not seen anyone bf before! .. They are just curious most of the time.
