    Aw congrats wee A :):):). Can I ask how did it happen? Did she just get up and do it herself ? I reckon CR is going to bypass the crawling and go straight to the walking by the looks of things.

    She was standing at her cot, I could see she was about to take her hand off n stand unaided so I sat a little bit away from her and beckoned her over! Then a few minutes later, she did the same to my mam! :)

    My little man picks random names for people in shops/on the street and shouts "Hi Tom", "Well Pat", "How are you John?". The funniest one lately was when he asked someone "Why isn't your name Pat? It should be Pat. I like the name Pat. Pat's a lovely name" :)

    Yesterday I downloaded an app to my iPad called Tiny Piano and you can select a song (ABC's, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star etc.) and when you tap the piano on screen, the song plays.

    I was sitting on the bed with my boyfriend's son (20 months) and he was playing the piano and I started singing along. He was looking at me with the cutest little face and when I finished, he clapped and said "Yay!!!".

    Usually we clap for him when he does something good so it was nice to know that he appreciated my musical prowess. :p

    Oh yeah, she has the world figured out alright. ;)


    Today, she tells me that the new baby is getting much bigger, so I need to go to the shop and buy another one for my tummy quickly! because otherwise I will have no baby to play with when this one grows up.

    Holding bubs upstairs before I put her in the cot for the night, I've started giving her Eskimo kisses. She loves them n I love love seeing her little cheeks forming into a smile in the dark and seeing her eyes sparkling back at me. She took her soother put tonight n start talking and then put it back in and I'm going to allow myself to think she was saying "I love you mammy" :)

    Was visiting a relatives house the other day. I had urged the lady not to go to any bother as she has a small baby and 2older kids. Of course she had gone all out, the house was shining and a lovely feast was before us. :) I said omg this us amazing you must have been busy. She said oh no just took a minute, no bother at all. Her son piped up, but mammy all morning we were banned from kitchen as you had so much to do!!

    Very funny

    I'm in bed at 9.15 on a Thursday night ... and loving it! Because I've got a perfect tiny little person snoozing away beside me.

    If you told me at the start of last year that I'd be a mammy by now - I'd have been horrified

    But I wouldn't have known then how absolutely perfect and lovely and funny and sweet and amazing and brilliant my little boy was going to be!

    He is just amazing. I can't believe how lucky I am that he is mine.

    We were on holidays last week and on Sunday night when we returned home I found an Argos catalogue in my 8 year old's luggage.

    Me: Ruby, did you pack an Argos catalogue in your holiday bag?
    Ruby: Yes, I did mam.
    Me: Why did you do that Ruby?
    Ruby: I needed a plan b incase the holiday was boring.

    Kids are so funny at times :D

    Not my child and not even a funny story but the owner of the b&b I work in has the most adorable 5 year old grandchild. Today she came running into the b&b and gave me the biggest hug and then proceeded to tell me everything that had happened in her weekend. I asked her if she wanted to play games on the computer and she was delighted. I put on "Doc McStuffins" (this is a new one for me) and any time I needed to use the computer she left her game mid-play and got up no problem.

    I showed her how to use the code to enter the b&b and she showed a guest how to do it and she was so proud of herself (and to be honest, so was I and I gave her a couple of euro for "working"). The next time she comes over I'm going to show her how to put plaits in her hair and she is sooooo excited.

    I'm not a parent and apart from this child, I would have very little to do with children but I can see how their little achievements and the way they just chatter away without being self conscious is so endearing. I can't wait until she comes around again! :D

    Minding my niece yesterday, the things she came out with!

    On the way to the park, two ladies were admiring her dress. Upon leaving she goes "they like me don't they?"

    On same walk, she randomly says "my mammy is gonna kill someone" I asked her who n she said "the ice cream man because he always comes at night"

    N then in the park, every few minutes she'd ask me "are you thinking what I'm thinking?!"

    Then today bubs and I were playing on the floor, she was standing and leaning against the chair and I could see her brain working, telling herself to take a few steps, and it was just hilarious watching her.

    My wee one year old has started to lift her hands up in the air when she wants me to lift her up for a cuddle. When she puts her arms around me and gives me a big cuddle, it just melts my heart. I just can't stop looking at her and hugging her :D

    She's shuffling on her bum now, she doesn't seem to want to crawl but she follows me all over the house. Earlier when I was cooking dinner, she arrived at my feet and hugged my two legs :)

    I hired bikes with my 6 year old daughter yesterday...after 10 minutes she said she was tired. I was a little bit cross with her as we had just set off with the bikes.

    She said "is it a bad time to say sorry?"... I asked what she meant, she said "I know why you're cross but I'm tired and I don't want make you crosser"

    Sure you can't be cross for long.

    Today was the first time I saw her drinking a hot drink...hot chocolate in a coffee shop after 2 hours in the swimming pool.

    I don't know what it is but when I saw it, I just wished she wouldn't grow older and would stay 6 forever, where she'll be innocent and never have to worry.
