My neice on the otherhand did exactly what you are describing for ages, then eventually just pulled up to standing and was then walking a few days after, and that was at about 13 months or so, she crawled for about 3 days i think!
she had danny and then had his sister 14 years after danny so she's so not used to 3 kids close in age!!!
I hate Roh being ill, i know how you feel, i was beside myself last year when he was in hospital, its just the worst thing. Hope you are managing to grab a bit of sleep too Sooo cute about the clapping, love it! 
On the bright side, they keep your MIL away, surely thats a bonus? 
My ears feel ok for the first time all year! Roh is definately better, and has spent 2 days being totally gorgeous, but this afternoon he was sooooo hyper! He's also biting everything in sight, and has a sore bum, so i'm thinking teething is back for another round, oh the fun never ends! 
I'd have napped with Roh but i had to stay up to wait for the guy to fix the washing machine (AGAIN!! getting sooo boring it breaking down 
) who turned up late, so i could have slept, typical. Grr, annoying, problem is, most of the time he's in a car it will be hers, and i thought she might chip in towards the cost of a new carseat, but if i get a rearfacing one, then i expect she'll buy a forward facing one and use that anyway if i ever leave Roh with her for a weekend. Nightmare, i'm hoping all the research i emailed her will change her mind, she's just going to have to get over it Otherwise it was a nice day though, i love my mum to bits, and love seeing her, we are just both a bit stubborn sometimes 
we had a nice time though, Roh and her little girl are 4 weeks apart, but she was 2 weeks overdue, so she should be older than him, weird eh? Anyway, they are exactly the same, made me giggle watching them chasing eachother up and down the hall I don't mind though, at least its not too mentally draining. Anyway, i want som dinner and to watch Outcasts, so i'll be off for a bit
how is he today? well done for the weight loss where did the time go!!! In my experience little get togethers are better for LO's than big overwhelming parties. I've always just had little family tea parties for 1st birthdays I just think I'll have lots of balloons for Alex as he absolutely loves them! And you can bake him a lovely big cake 
he just barely slept. When I finally got up he had green snot crusted all over his face so its another cold 
he went to my mums for the day with Emily and Holly and she had a good day with him. Gabriel was also there and he is recovering from croup so I really hope Alex doesnt get it 
I am so tired today
He has seemed to be a little better today - he slept quite well last night (and so did I - yay!) and has gone today from been his normal self one minute to crying and feeling sorry for himself the next, bless him! He's still quite clingy, but he went to bed at 6pm as he was soooo tired and he settled pretty well. So I've been able to run around and get the housework done and catch up on my work. I'm a bit sniffly myself now . . . . I'm really hoping that I'm not going coming down with anything Steve and I had a huge arguement about it until I said that I wouldn't discuss it further with him until he did the research that I had done. He did, and came back 100% in favour of extended rear facing. My mum did the same thing, so hopefully your mum will be in favour when she has done the research too. We have extended rear facing seats in both our cars, but they really can't be taken out and fitted into another car easily as they are seatbelt fitted and not isofix. We currently have an issue with Oliver going in my parents cars. There main car is a Saab 93 convertable and the rear seats are tiny, there is no way the extended rear facing seats would fit. They also have a 4x4 but its really just for the bad weather as they live in the middle of no where. They have been talking about buying a forward facing seat for the Saab but I would much rather they got an extended rear facing seat in the 4x4 . . . . but I feel like a) I'm asking them to spend a few hundred quid more than they would normally and b) they would have to use the 4x4 more which seems silly when they have spent a fortune on the Saab. They have mentioned changing cars in the summer so I don't know . . . . the other thing I thought of was having my parents put on my car insurance and letting them take my car any time they have Oliver . . . . but that would leave me with no car and I think my Dad would have me walk before he let me borrow the Saab It gets to 9pm and I wonder why I'm starving 
He has lately started to do a yoga position called the plank then gets annoyed because he isn't moving apart from up and down. He has had lots of tummy time from being very small and he was always happy to lie on his tummy and saty that way until he had had enough then he would cry, he never made any effort to turn himself over. He loves to stand though, and is very strong on his legs so am thinking he may skip crawling and just walk instead. Oh and I am 30 and have no co-ordination
hope you have a better night tonight! cake! yum!
I think that sounds like a lovely idea! 
I've kind of worked out what I want to do but its so hard to get into i really have no chance. I have also worked out I really dont want to go back to nursing but its a case of needs must. just wanted to give you a big after reading your thread 
i love bread and cheese with sweet chilli dipping sauce yum yum
I haven't heard from her, I need to send her some fabric samples so I'm just waiting for them to arrive. She wants her chair sashes to match her bridesmaids dresses, I've sent her soooo many samples She didn't want to send me a sample of her fabric to match so it was like working blind - I mean seriously, how many shades of green are there??!?! She finally sent me a sample and the fabric was two-tone! I found as closer match as you are going to get without buying the actual same fabric, it was sooooo similar - I checked it in every type of light and showed about 10 people and they all agreed it was a match. I made up a full sash for her so she could get a really good idea of how it would look . . . . and she said 'she wasn't sure it was the same' 
Its not going to be the SAME! You can't compare expensive dress fabric with flippin chair sashes! So now she wants samples in a completely different colour - and she hasn't even signed her contract yet In my opinion it would be just polite to sign the contract and confirm the booking if you're going to be so fussy, esp when I've given her such a good deal as a friend of a friend If it keeps on like this I'll be earning a lot more than I was when I was working full time! I have to say though I'm looking forward to the actual bookings coming around, I only take a small deposit of fifty pounds per booking and then the final payments are a month before the event, so at the moment my only income is deposits. My first bookings are in April so I'll be getting some money in March - YAY!
I have one more set of samples to send her, if she doesn't like them, I think I'll say that I can't help her. It will end up not been worth my while and I don't have the time to do stuff like that just for fun I saw your thread in the for sale section - you really do have an addiction don't you How many have you got now? Which are your favourites? I hope tomorrow goes well! He is still breastfeeding really well though so thats good. I think I've got a bit of what ever he has though as I'm feeling really crappy today, urgh!
