My Life is Complete

Eight months, crikey, that's fairly quick. Mind you my lad (13 months) started crawling backwards at that age. Managed to get himself stuck under the couch. hee hee. Started crawling forwards "commando" style - arms only. But now he rockets around with aid of his truck. and in the kitchen he uses the bin - sliding it around on the tiled floor. very cute.

has yours started throwing stuff just to hear the sound it makes?

Our little monster took his first steps at 11 months and was into everything from that point onwards. The biggest thing to get your head round once they start walking is that putting things on a table is no longer safe. Our little monster was grabbing a stool and climbing up to reach everything at about 13 months...

Best tip I could offer is never give them sweets. We never gave ours any sweets at all until he was about 18 months old and he is actually very good with them now and says no to them if he is full (a shock indeed!!). However you can really see the difference in behaviour once he has eaten them, he is totally off the walls...

I never eat sweets so no need for my lad to either.

To true, he has a loose collective of websites that do his thinking for him.

Old timers will remember the hilarious instance when the cut 'n' paste king posted a lengthy article "definitively proving his argument. Next." that in fact argued completely the opposite point.

Oh yes, plenty, but I am weak, so very very weak. If I had sweets, biscuits, crisps, what have you in the house I wouldn't rest until I had scoffed the lot. One catering pack of Jaffa Cakes is just never enough you see. So my answer is just never to buy any.

I'm sure I read that in some parenting book somewhere too. The best way to ensure your children don't eat crap is not to buy any.

We try and keep him on organic veggies and fruits. Dunno if it will make a difference in the end...but so far he hasn't had a single sweet thing. And the nursery cook from scratch the snacks which the kids get to eat - which can only be good.

His favorite thing to do is to say "ta ta" to everyone leaving through a door. Its really cute and he can tell the difference between entering and leaving. Another cute thing is he says "TA!" when you hand him something. aaaawww
But when he gets going walking with his truck...he can do it all day. without a nap. Meaning I get home to a very tired and upset baby.
