I've been looking through stacks of albums and piles upon piles of shoeboxes at my parents' house recently for my own baby photos to attach to the bio I can't write for the project I can't tell you about (are you keeping up? No? Me neither). If you wanna help me pick, the top six are here to be voted on.
Anyway, tucked inside the album was one A5 page of milestone notes (third child, the novelty of note taking had worn off) and I had a good read and here are the best bits about the perfectly average little ol' me:
___ . . . ___ . . . ___
17.12.81 - Born at 2:11pm, weight 4.35 kg (9.6lb), length 53cm (BOOMBAH BABY!)
3 days old - Fully bottle fed (And I turned out fine. No really, I mean it. Stop laughing.)
Six months - Can sit by herself for about a minute
Seven months - Crawls in a fashion elbows first then moves along (Commando baby)
Nine months - Took her out of the walkers as she fell face first on to the floor. Cracked her lip. Crawls properly. Can say "Dad Dad" and wave bye bye. Has four teeth.
Ten months - Glowless now pulls herself up on all the furniture, has five teeth, can say "Mum Mum" and "Hello" but it's more just a singing sound.
Twelve months - Glowless now walks fully by herself
Fourteen months - Can say "Nanna" "Bye bye" "chasey". Climbs on everything. Gets up to mischief. Brat. (What a loving mother)
Eighteen months - First trip to the dentist - broken teeth. Very good at going to bed at night, wakes up once or twice
Twenty months - First sleep in her new bed - hates it. Takes Jimbalyn (my doll) with her. Hassles.
Two years - Had two year old test - is advanced in talking - mother's side - clever (and I haven't shut up ever since!)
Two years - Have had second opinion on Glowless' teeth. Two front teeth must come out because she has abscesses.

Ahh, isn't she lovely. And now you know where I get my sense of humour from.
And I wonder why she just rolls her eyes at me when I complain about Tricky climbing on the coffee table and dancing.
And for the record, I was waaay slower at reaching milestones than Tricky and I turned out awesome. STOP LAUGHING!!!
Have you looked through your baby notes? Were you a brat?
