    It's okay though if we don't always wake up where we should be.

    I have some personal experience with this.

      @Matt
      Waking up in random places is a right of passage in growing older, would say growing up but some never get to that stage

      @EdH
      We moved into what was then the back bedroom when Jacob was born as it got the brunt of the afternoon sun here and would easily reach the high 30s in summer at night due to the crap way they build houses here and the residual heat from the day no way we were letting a baby sleep in those conditions even with air con on the go

        I think that’s a sign she’s ready to start weaning…

        Take the dive...

              I love this thread, it sure brings back fond memories of those years!

              I’ll call myself a veteran (I’m not really). We have two teenagers 16 and 18.

              If you thought parenting infants was tough work, wait till their hit their teens :).

              My advice is this … keep things simple, your time is the biggest and most important thing you can gift your children. Be kind, patient, and love them for who they are.

              Last, have fun, joke and laugh. If you look carefully in the second photo, you’ll see how the kids and I love to spoil moms perfect family photos.

                Boiled apple mush and cinnamon seems to be a hit. After the first taste she took the spoon straight off Mrs H and knew just what to do with it.

                      @T4920 Not so sure about the eyes - hers are bright blue, like her mum's. Last person in my family to have blue eyes was my grandmother. But yeah, I'm with you on the brows. I just hope she doesn't get a unibrow, like I had to contend with as a kid. Got that shit lasered as soon as I was old enough.

                      @Matt She's understood the assignment, that's for sure!

                            @EdH hahaha Mills does the same, she is always taking my chain and St Christopher off the bedside table and putting it on 😍

                              No advice here, just a picture of me with my four kids from my 37th birthday last week. We were on vacation in the thousand islands, New York. Fwiw I will say I’ve felt tired for about 11 years now since my first was born.

                                @AdamC Baby H wasn't trying to put it on. She was variously trying to put the pointy end into her mouth or her eyeball!

                                Then she discovered a wonderful game where you grab the chain, put your feet against Daddy's throat, and push/pull, and Daddy makes a funny choking noise. She laughed at that.

                                  @EdH Don’t worry…she’ll keep working on ways of perfecting that! Mine have been trying to kill me in various ways since birth.

                                      You will definitely need one of these plus one of these:

                                        @goosehd this should be in kit form if not already. I actually could use some Buffalo Trace right now just thinking about it. The first sounds will be made September 5th so I have some scheming planning to do

                                          If memory serves me correct the sound in the early stages of trombone playing are rivaled only by clarinet - it's dying moose vs dying goose
