tsia, nice cake! Adam was baptised at our wedding, on March 12th, he was almost 7 months old. It was lovely and made it all extra special. We had a wedding cake and a christening cake, wedding cake was chocolate, christening cake was lemon (I preferred the lemon 
), both were pretty plain and simple, and not exactly as I'd envisaged but they were fine (a friend of OH's auntie did them).
gah, Pips, I hate it when B&B or my laptop do that and a post goes into thin air. though it's usually my own fault for accidentally pressing backspace. another forum I post at the post stays in the box if you do that but not this one. GAH! how are you doing? when are you back from your hols?
shiv, Adam is a monster for wanting the laptop, I am constantly opening and closing it when he's around because even when I think he's busy with something else, and I have a minute, he's suddenly right there again and smacking the keys...
jelr, I am with you on the tantruming! Adam has days like that as well. he's also not much of a snuggly baby so when he is in the mood it's super special. he is very friendly though, very smiley. hope you have a good weekend away!
happy birthday Emma! I love the pics, Cleck, what amazing cakes!
can't believe one year ago was my due date... I've been reading back some of my posts from our third tri thread and remembering how irritated I was with my dad by that point. it's funny because my parents are down in London right now (came yesterday after 3 weeks in Norway, staying till after AE's birthday) and I am SO GLAD they're here because they've taken Adam out for the day and I am HOME ALONE 
- not that I am going to do anything fun, quite the opposite, much as I'd just love to go to bed and watch stuff on iPlayer all afternoon, I have loads of stuff to do in our bedroom, more babyproofing. he is getting so tall and so much more into everything and it's a mess and I basically want to clear a load of stuff out and we'll take it to my best friend's flat, to go into storage in her basement; and I need to transfer stuff from the chest of drawers that we regularly use (ie his cloth nappies) and put them into storage boxes on higher shelves. We've had to put locks on the drawers because he can reach them and I am scared he'll just start climbing and pull the lot over, or leave the drawers open and bang his head on the sharp corners, and it is super annoying opening this bloody locked drawer several times a day, so I thought I'd stick stuff in there we don't need too often. I figure I have maybe 4-5 hours... hope Adam is good, sure he will be. 
I wish I could stop him eating his books, they are all chewed round the edges. I know he enjoys it as he is teething, and has some more just through, but he's destroyed so many of his books recently, what with the nibbling and just being really over enthusiastic with them, loads of broken spines - not to mention the ones I had to throw out because he weed on them once too often...
OOOH, one good thing - my sister in law in Norway sent over 2 suitcases full of cast-offs from my nephew for Adam I've sorted out all the stuff that'll fit now/in the next few months and the rest is going to my mum's for now... but it's so cool and will save us LOADS of money. she had kept everything till she was done having kids, and now they had their last baby and she was a girl, guess she was ready to let go of the boy things.

Why don't people think before they type?
Caylee is IN LOVE with books, I like that she sits and tries to read them on her own, its so adorable. Adam will stop chewing on them soon I'm sure, but Caylee still puts EVERYTHING in her mouth..drives me bonkers haha.
It was his That's Not My Penguin book last week, and his Wheels on the Bus musical book has been put away for a while to recover (it also has a broken spine from being stood on). He's never done a poo on me (unless you count on my birthday morning, his special present was a few days of diarrhoea) and he's never pooed when he's got his nappy off. I think I'd know if he was about to as it's fairly obvious!
not that organised!! 
You all know I love the zoo. 
Why did this complete stranger feel the need to brag to me? I don't get it. Her kid looked like a 3 year old. But was really only a few weeks older than Emma. She kept saying 'be nice, it's a BABY'. In this voice towards her daughter. I was irritated to say the least.
