Ah, it’s five am and there’s a small boy racing around in my living room waking cats from deep slumber and finding it immensely funny.
I tried nursing him back to sleep in bed for over an hour but just as his eyelids were getting heavy he decided to get up.
Sometimes you just have to give in!
It’s amazing how quickly Indi is learning. Almost everyday he is doing something new. Only a month ago he was starting to walk on his own and now you can’t stop him! He doesn’t walk like a zombie anymore, is able to go from sitting to standing without any aid and his new skill – squatting, is being used to the full.
For over a month he was more or less attached to me only. If I left the room, as soon as he saw me go it was like I had gone forever. I take him everywhere with me anyway but he wouldn’t even stay with Jeff so I could use the bathroom!
I think it was more frustrating for Jeff, I felt like a broken record telling him it was completely normal and would pass soon.
Anyway, it has now passed… just in time for a new tooth to be cut… a molar at that!
Jeff will probably be up at 6 for work. I hope Indi wants to go back to bed soon, I am quite tired!

Here’s Indi on his first solo walk on the track we take Skylar. He was happy for the first 15 minutes but then he fell & bit his lip 
Back into the stroller & home… he went to sleep within minutes!
He’s just over 11 months now!

I’ve never put Indi in a pen. We do have a babygate to stop him from getting into the kitchen if the cats are eating their food down on the floor or if the floor needs a clean or if I’m cooking a lot, but these days he’s playing by my feet while I chop up veggies/wash the dishes etc.
I’ve always been happier knowing that my baby is ‘free-range’, allowed to explore his home and play when he wants and walk up to us (me) when he wants up or feeding.
But now I’ve got this allotment plot and I’m in a dilemma. There’s a little seat that I’m thinking about getting but Indi isn’t fussed on being in a sitting position for too long. He likes to wander and roam, but the plot is full of glass that I need to dispose of, and brambles and other non kiddo friendly things.
Until I get it all Indi-safe I think I may need to ‘contain’ him somehow I tried to do some work down there with him in the wrap but I can’t get down to ground level.
I’ve had a look at all the playpens/travelcots that are available at a cheap price & there aren’t any that I think are appropriate for us.
And I just can’t see Indi being happy stuck in one for ANY length of time!
We’ll be going down there later, I’ll take the pushchair and a blanket to go underneath it to catch toys and snacks. Hopefully he’ll happily play in that for a short time fingers crossed!

Jeff came home from work yesterday and I was able to get all my tears and everything out properly. I’d been holding it back ever since it happened so it was a great (& long) release.
He really is wonderful. We have our ‘issues’ with each other, where we can get so angry with eachother that sometimes I can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel. But it’s times like these when I can see why our marriage works so well.
He’s told me that he doesn’t care how long he has to wait, what’s important is how I am. And that he’ll never cheat on me and I’m the only woman he wants.
I knew that anyway but it is so good hearing it straight out of his mouth!
I’m still very anxious about it all but there’s no point in thinking about it right now. I’m just going to get on with being mum, wife, cat & dog carer and allotmenteer!
Thanks HPP and Hbacmama for your comments and Andrea for texting me xx
