He is very long and heavy. Everyone remarks how thick and solid he feels lol.Your 6 month old looks so much bigger than our 14 month old.
He's wearing 6 month clothes as well.
Essentially they continue to get more awesome is what I'm saying.
I look forward to it. As dad, I find breast fed baby to be more pain than joy. I'm quite useless much of the time, so it will be great as he becomes more interactive. On the contrary, mum dreads him growing up
Sorry to say we had it with both our kids. I found so called blackout curtains were rubbish, but blinds are good. My only tip would be to try and get the bracket as close to the top of your alcove as possible. I didn't so there's about a 1 inch gap which still let's a bit of light through, good otherwise though.Also, these lighter evenings are playing merry hell with the bedtime routine. My sweet girl turns into the devil at bedtime now. "it's not dark daddy!" is the harbinger of tantrums, screaming, escape attempts and all the rest.
Anyone else having this? Blackout curtains the only option?

I think we have had this topic before but. Do you leave your child in the car while you pay for fuel at the counter.
My scenario is that on my way home i have to pick up his prescription, so will be leaving him in the car for about 3 minutes in the car park.
What do others think of this.
Obviously you lock the car.I wouldn't do this unless I had no other choice, especially with a keyless car.
Depends on the child, i tried this at the weekend however my 5 year old can undo her seatbelt so got out and left my 2 year old in the car who started crying (all while i was filling up). So i then had to take the 2 of them in with me, almost had to buy some chocolate but got though it in the end.I wouldn't do this unless I had no other choice, especially with a keyless car.
What? Do you not have childlocks on the car? Tell her not to do that. Look after her baby brother/sister while daddy goes to pay. Lock the car on the way to pay. Done.Depends on the child, i tried this at the weekend however my 5 year old can undo her seatbelt so got out and left my 2 year old in the car who started crying (all while i was filling up).

You tell me which cars have childlocks on the front doors. It's only because she's done it once with my wife. Tbh I normally stop on the way home but I was off last week so it threw my routine out. I didn't really mind I'm quite easy going and the cashier girl wasn't bothered either. Locking doors wouldn't matter as they can still be opened from the inside.What?

Have never bothered taking the little un with me but I usually 9/10 times pay at pump. Always take her with me in any other scenario though (popping into shop etc).
Re: Blackout Blinds
Blackout blinds and black out curtains in the little uns' room. Pitch black throughout the year. I make sure the curtains and blind is shut prior to bed time, light on. She comes into room, switches off the light, "boosh" on her lampshade (like to knock it so it swings - *shrugs*), bed. She's only 21 months atm though so isn't really aware of night time / dark, day time / light yet.

Both my kids have blackout blinds and curtains, for the same reason! Curtains on their own weren't enough
