Bits and pieces

well, it's been a busy week or so lately, yet i don't really have that much to report.. we've had the shower screen and dishwasher fixed.. i've booked lachlan in for his 12 month checkup with the paediatrician.. i've organised a preview class at gymboree so we can see if he likes it enough to enrol him for a full term so he can start getting used to playing with other kids so that childcare isn't such a shock to the system.. i've gotten his birthday party organised (well, at least the date and time sorted).. we've been to a birthday party.. an engagement party.. lunch party.. had a couple of dinner parties.. and through it all, i haven't taken a single photo!

lachlan's crawling is getting better and better - he now indulges in regular little speed spurts when he decides that he wants something rather than just crawling around aimlessly.. he has started to cruise around while holding onto the coffee table, rather than just standing in the one spot once he has pulled himself up.. he LOVES toddling around while holding onto my hands and has even started doing it one handed occasionally.. he is getting better at lowering himself back to a sitting position instead of just letting himself fall onto his bum when he has had enough of standing.. and he has a new tooth that is currently visible through his gum so should be through by next week.. unfortunately, the new tooth combined with a bit of a cold means that he's not sleeping very well, so we're all feeling a little tired.. hopefully things will improve next week!
