Lovely place No Hun, I really like the title :)

Seriously Dd will not stop screeching and screaming at anybody. It is driving me mad Grin
I am hoping by the time we do the next thread I will look at my first post, laugh wisely and believe it was just a phase and she is not really a little madam, princess Grin

Good timing NoHun as dd took her first steps on Christmas Eve - three! - and then today did eight in a row a few times. I know some of yours have been walking for months and months, so we've just got in under the wire. She's into everything, including ds's toys which he's not madly keen on Grin.

Ok, need some advice about totbots. I got my Cherrylicious which looked lovely, but was sorely disappointed the first time I used it as it leaked really badly after less than two hours. Not just wicking but properly wet. The blurb said it didn't need any other booster but do you guys use one? I've used it a couple more times but only for a short period each time.

Hurrah! Well done, Junior ft! And aw bless re wanting her brother's toys! :)

I don't use a booster for my TotsBots EasyFits, they have always been brilliant. I think they say all babies are different, and some nappies just don't suit some bottoms. I don't know what to advise, really. If you have a booster about, you could try it, I guess.

Floozie our dc always seem to be on even keel.
Dd took her first independent steps a few days ago and can manage 8 in a row.
She only falls down due to pure excitement that she managed it and claps :o

Great thread title NoHun Smile. Congrats to your DDs on the walking Ty and Floozie it never fails to make me smile seeing DD racing about.

My parents have just left. DD is asleep- feel rather lonely! Work tomorrow and I seriously and not interested! I love being at home with DD and wish so much it could go on forever.

Gotta love the kisses!

DS says 'go' a lt. DH has fun conversations with him along the lines of:
DH: On your marks, get set ...
DS: Go!
DH: Name a board game.
DS: Go!

Heh heh!

Ds's favourite word is "doggo" (for doggy). Every dog we see necessitates him bouncing excitedly, pointing and shouting doggo. Even a girl dressed up as a dog Grin

I Love the kisses! I get them all over my face each morning, have to wipe off the slobber!

HJ, ours runs sometimes with his arms outstretched BEHIND him, like he is about to take off! He climbs everywhere, sooo adventurous. Little scamp!

Dd has not walked again since those 5 steps Hmm but she can climb on to the sofa unaided and get on my bed with a stool, which she puts there.
She still shocks me, I see her as a baby but she is a toddler now Grin
