Hi,
Busy busy, got a bed to dismantle, and put away, a child to enrol into pre school, some shelf units to collect and of course all the usual housework screaming at me to be done!
Rosie crawls pretty fast and climbs up on everything in sight, she is a climber as I was as a baby! She coasts if she can and only crawls if she see's no other option! She is practice standing atm, she will stand unaided in the middle of her cot for a while, then looks all bemused when we clap her for it!
Weather wise we are ok here, only just but started to have proper winters and ok ish summers, I don't like hot sunshine anyway as my skin just flares up in rash, so it suits me really having a shit summer!!!
Sarah, I know what you mean about finishing full time work but I personally find the children more rewarding than any work I have done, I enjoyed study but even when i graduated i expected fireworks or something! It was like, oh i have graduated, the only sign of it is if i get a letter from Open University it has a BSc after my name!
The children change every single day, and keep me more than occupied, but then with 5 children, 1 step son and a husband equal trouble to that of a toddler I suppose finding time to get things done is my daily challenge!
Genies, My 'dads' have only ever been great when they have had no choice! I have thought when they pick them up on a weekend, why could they have not done that when we were together so I could have got a bath!
With the exception of my dh who is a pretty good dad, he plays with the girls but only in his time, not when i need him to!
I have my moans and groans but i don't really mind when it comes to childcare, I see them as my children and they grow up so fast i will have plenty of time when they are all grown up to sit and wallow in a bath with scented candles!
As we celebrate the first year and wonder where it went, I am looking at my son, my baby boy, who is 17, a mass of hair, hormones and everything male! He towers above me, has done from about aged 12! and I wonder where did his childhood go? will he remember it fondly with me tickling him at nappy change time, throwing him around playing air guitar, singing to 80's song he hates, dancing round the kitchen like a mad mum!
It blasts on by and life takes over as they say, take plenty of pictures and every now and again in a cuddle breath them in and remember that moment! I have been doing this all the time with Rosie!
Right, baby on lap its time to go, we have cuddles to do!(and a rather pongy nappy to change!)
Back soon btp xxx

, and decimated every green thing in our neighbourhood. It looked like someone had taken a mad weedwhacker to every garden around. There are tatters left of my raspberries and flowers. Luckily, there are only tatters left of my weed patches, as well! 
with the crawling after going commando style for weeks JJ has started to crawl with his bum in the air. He pulls himself on tippie toes but isn't able to walk like that as u don't think he's got the balance. However he's only ever on carpet in the house.
that's good about your job I would like to work part time. I like being at home but I want something to stimulate a bit 
she was soooo excited! she is a very sociable child & didnt even say bye when we left 
we walks across the room now with no probs, the grandparents have been on their hols for over a week & they poped in yesterday after they go back & couldnt believe how much he has come on in just over 1week!
I'm already getting depressed by the thought of winter.
