@Incognito: LOL yes I do this even bring other family names into it *shakes head*. By the timeI get the name right I sometimes even forget what it was I was trying to quickly say!

I remember once when hubby was tying my oldest sons lace he was calling him hard meaning to call baby Maat...wondering why baby Maat wasn't coming. My oldest eventually said in confusion "But I'm here" then hubby realised that he was calling the wrong name:?

@All: Sometimes baby Maat has been swallowing his food rather than chew it first. Are any other babies doing this? Even when I break it smaller for him he will swallow. I'm finding that I have to show him the chewing motion so he can get the point.

Maat - my first boy is terrible. When he eats his two jaw corners are always full. He's glutten just like I was. Think I'm gonna force him to eat his meals using chopsticks

On the names thing, it's amazing how you go through t he lengths of chosing a name for them yet for the most part you only use their real names when you are serious or they are in trouble. Think I've got about half a dozen nicknames for each of my boys. One name just seems to evolve from the other

Also I never hear about children wetting the bed anymore. Maybe the one or two incidents but nothing chronic the way it used to be when I was growing up. I think one of my brothers stopped wetting his at 11

My grandson will be 1yr old on Tuesday.

He is my grandson so of course he is beautiful, he's been walking since August actually took his first step at his christening party (not in front of myself, his parents or , grt grandparents but infront of my sisters, nieces and nephews)

Got pure teeth, but then his father got his teeth all in one go (and bless him with little botheration for me)

Like a true Zimbabwean, he loves to chat on the phone, when I was up there in the summer he was putting the tv remote to his ears and chatting away. Someones now given him an old phone (wasn't interested in the brightly coloured toy one) so he's now trying to push this in his little pockets and chat like there really is someone on the other end. And if you phone the house phone chances are he will pick up the reciever first and then bawl the place down when it's taken from him.

spent a few days babysitting during the summer and I have to say I found it hard work, the child can move and fast and he loves to farce with everything.

The best thing of all is watching my manchild raising his child...Can't tell you how good that is....I am so proud of my son.

Oh well i best put up an entry in yasso.

My first baby, a boy, born 3 weeks early on Tuesday morning 3rd June, 6.20am, weighing a tiny 6lbs.



Baby and mother doing absoloutely fine .

Wow what an experience. Mother broke waters 24hrs earlier but didnt start getting contractions unitl 12am the next morning. At 12am i went to bed and told her to wake me up when they get serious.... as you do.....lol. At 3am there were 3 every 10 mins lasting more than 2mins each.... the come into hospital mode. At this point the nurse told us on the phone that the hospital was full and we should try hospital in Tooting or St Marys in Paddington. Daddy gets on the phone and cusses out the womans claart until she amazingly finds a bed available in the hospital which complys with our original arragements. At 4.00am we arrive at hospital. 2hrs 20 mins later after mother finishes rolling around on the hospital waiting room floor (come on girls it doesnt hurt that much....lol) my son takes his first steps in the world.



Its on the house.

Thanks Vezz.

Couldn't believe the nurse on the phone. You see sometimes being a contankerous git comes in handy...

congrats le moor
