Well done to your little man

Now you have to go round the house and move everything below your shoulder height or he'll have it

Next he'll be talking, then you'll be spending the next 18 years telling him to sit down and shut up

Awww that's brill First born was walking really early. Tiddler came along and didn't shift her arse for ages. Made up for it since though

One memory was waking up in the middle of the night by a little voice saying "mum, mum, mum, mum, mum" I fell out of bed and screamed. I'd landed on her - it was the first time she'd climbed out of her cot and come into our bedroom. She howled for about half an hour because I'd hurt her

Yay well done to N, bless him - awwww Bet you felt right proud

I remember the first time my son rolled over as a baby, thought it was amazing, remember texting all my friends - none of whom have children and couldn't quite understand my excitement
