Today has been a good day for milestones.
AJ has been standing by herself properly today, and oh is she chuffed to pieces with herself! She has been doing it before today but only for a few seconds before she loses her balance or her nerve and falls to her bum. Today she has gone a little further, standing by herself for a few minutes and not using anyone/thing to pull herself up. She has even got a little cocky and put her hands behind her head. (Hilarious little madam).
At lunch time as AJ sat eating her lunch...
She decided to turn herself around in the chair and started playing peekaboo, whipping her head around and grinning from ear to ear as we shouted peekaboo at her. She is certainly developing her own little personality and coming into her own recently! I can't believe how fast she is growing up.
Tonight is OJs first night in his big boys bed.
I've wanted to do it for ages now but for a number of reasons we haven't. Now for the last week or so he has been waking up in the night and not settling back down in his own cot. Which is very unlike him. He will settle instantly as soon as he is in our bed and at bed time he will attempt to settle himself to sleep on our bed. So today I decided to take the plunge. I took the sides of his cot!
It hit me hard, how not so little he is anymore. I had a tear in my eyes as I did it.
I rearranged the bedroom and made his bed up all nice for him. Then we did the usual bedtime routine. Bath, pjs, story with milk then bed.
I tucked his up all comfy, he had a big grin on his face, he appeared to love it, he settled down and got all comfy. I gave him a kiss and a cuddle and went downstairs.
Two seconds later, I hear tiny feet stampeding across the bedroom floor and the bedroom door against the carpet. I went upstairs and put him back down. As soon as I got back downstairs he was up again. This time a toy came hurtling over the stair gate and down the stairs. I attempted to get him back to bed at least five times, before giving up and deciding to just ignore him. He's been stood chattering at the top of the stairs, every now and then a toy comes hurtling downstairs, then It finally went quiet, so I snuck upstairs to see where the little monster was. Half expecting to find him asleep at the top of the stairs, but no, he had got back into bed and I found him fast asleep.
Goodnight from The Jones'
