a real keyboard

So, after my desktop giving up last weekend, I lasted a whole 6 days before getting a new base unit. 6 days. I need to get me some self control! It wasn't too bad checking from my blackberry but I'm glad to be using a real keyboard again!

Work is finally all sorted! I have 6 weeks of annual leave so my official date of return is the 11th of March. Less than two months away. It's really hitting me that two months is no time at all. I'm delighted that my return date falls the week after bug's first birthday.
  
Sister & N were up for a visit today (as usual for a Friday). It's wonderful seeing the boys playing together. They are just so cute and funny. When they first walked into the living room bug was so happy to see N. Adorable.

Last night was a really good night, sleep-wise, for bug. There was even a five hour stretch thrown in between 7pm and 12am. Slowly getting better. A huge difference from just a few months ago. Keeping a stricter bedtime routine has definitely made a very positive difference. :)

Crawling is still going well. The cruising around the furniture is getting better. Much better. But he's still not managed to let go yet. This stage is a bit scary. I know it will be absolutely fine once he's walking but it's the getting there. Lot's of stumbling and falling over. Bug got wooden blocks for Christmas and he gets so excited when he see's me building something with them because as soon as I move away he rushes over to demolish them!

I can't remember if I mentioned it but bug now has 8 teeth!! The newest two made their appearance last weekend. Whenever a new tooth appears breastfeeding is uncomfortable for a few days - I imagine while he is getting used to the tooth himself and adjusts his latch. Sometimes the bites are that sore that I'm afraid to look but I soon forget about it. In the early weeks I could never have imagined reaching ten months of breastfeeding. We've come a long way.
