Teeth boobs and words

I have yet again been very slack with this diary. I read in awe of Averil's diary and the fact that she always has entries every week. Ugh I am a hopelessly slack blogger.

Dylan now has 15 teeth not that he will let me touch look at or clean them. After months of battling with him to let me clean his teeth I had started to wrap him up after his bath in his towel and brushing them around the screams and the wriggling, it was all too hard. I did try giving it to him in the bath, having me and hubby do it at the same time, etc, I have now resorted to using a dab of children's toothpaste on the brush and he does a little scrub scrub but mostly just eats the yummy minty fresh paste, sigh! I wnat to protect his darling little teeth. Dylan is still to get one more eye tooth and his 2 year old molars and then it will be over, the snotty nose, the bad nights, the moodiness, yay, bring on the end of teething.

I finally weaned Dylan off his morning "mumma boobie" time last weekend and it has been hard on both of us. I used a combination of distraction and bribery to do it. I was hoping he would wean himself but it became apparent that he loved mumma's pillas too much. The first day was ok he didn't seem too fazed but pretty much every day since he has asked for the boobie in his Dylan way, by pulling at my top or just pointing to them, and he does get a bit sad about it. Me too. I have had a few tears about giving it up but it was time. I feel as though my body is hanging on to weight that it doesn't need so it was time to stop. My boobs though have been sore since day two which is very annoying especially because I like to spend some of my night sleeping on my tummy and Dylan doeslike to climb all over me and poke me and that hurts. I didn't think they would continue to be sore for so long. Unless I am pregnant??!!?? Doubt it.

Lots of words are coming out of our little man's mouth, There are new ones every week. Plus some two word sentences have started, the first was "bye bye daddy" he also says "Mumma dat" and "Mumma more". He has such a cute voice I need to get him on video more. He is also having lots of conversations with us not that we can understand them but he does these long sentences of babble and I am sure one day very soon they will turn into sentences that we can understand. Hopefully.
