The baby is walking now and has also learned to hit. Ahhhh it is all down hill from here, it is a shame, he was so cute.  frikkin babies just go and grow up!!! 
and other people's babies  you know I am having some troubles of my own with that too - much as loving them is the right thing to do, it's damned near impossible  He is usually a very happy baby so I was not sure what to do about this hitting thing. It was obvious that he was doing it to see what I would do. I just looked really upset and looked like I was going to cry and said "NO! BAD BOY!". I have only had dogs so that is all I can relate to. He is not mine so I certainly could not hit him back which I would not think would work anyways. He seemed to react to making me sad. He is usually a happy clown that wants you to laugh at him so maybe that worked. He did not do it again. | |

He is Australian so I guess that makes him even more stubborn, so I am told. Luckily, you are not Australian.

and I know she is lurking, she gave it away by orgnoting me.
She is great, I love her and chilli, though I would not want to piss them off, especially chilli. | |
