Charlie is now 8 and a half month old and will be 9 months soon after Christmas! By golly is he keeping me on my toes. 

I always thought people were crazy when they said tye found it more difficult with a older child rather than a newborn but now I can understand what they all meant! It gets easier in ways of communicating, playing and understanding your child. But being able to do things for yourself even like going to the toilet is SO difficult! I use to be able to lay Charlie down in one spot and know he would still be there when I came back.  But now he follows me everywhere and wants to play with anything OTHER than his toys! Hahaha silly child. I should have brought him a few rolls of paper or christmas instead of all these toys (: 

I have actually been pretty lucky with the Christmas tree and presents, Charlie has only gone over to it twice and I moved him away without much struggle on his behalf (: which is always a bonus!
