Today my daughter is 13 months old. I am not sure where the time has gone. I see people carrying little babies - I know she was once that small but I don't really remember it.

She is an amazing little being. I love watching her learn about the world.

She is still breastfed on demand. I still use cloth nappies when we are at home. I am rather proud of myself for persevering with the cloth nappies. I thought it was paying off from a toilet training perspective but recently she has decided to get off the potty and pee on the floor- on several occasions.

She is now walking. She started Christmas day. She had still been crawling more than walking up until about yesterday. She was in the stroller most of the day (or being carried because she wouldn't sit in the stroller!) as we were out but then last night at my friends place she kept walking down the garden path and back again. When my husband saw her at home after that (without me even telling him she had been doing that) he saw her walking at said " you have been practising". She had improved that much.

Mother hood is even more amazing that I thought it would be.

I love my amazing little daughter and I am very lucky to have a husband who goes to work so that I can stay at home and look after our little girl. I am very lucky.
