ahh yes, ear infections.. fun things, most times unless it's really obviously inflamed they'll just say to give a baby painkiller and a warm pack on the ear, and it'll usually clear up by itself.
Hmm. I know some folks from England who are visiting at the end of the month. Shall I ask them to carry a few boxes of cereal back for a friend of mine?
Unsweetened Cheerios in Manchesterbookwyrm_comMarch 6 2007, 20:25:30 UTC
[Bookwyrm] You can only buy sweetened Cheerios in Manchester? [CatJack] Eh? [Bookwyrm] Cheerios. Breakfast cereal [Bookwyrm] Round oaty things with holes in them [CatJack] I know what they are, I wondered what on earth prompted that. Because no, you can buy non-sweetened ones. [Bookwyrm] In a friend's LJ: His pincer grasp has suddenly developed in the last few days and he LOVES Cheerios, although I will have to find someone to mail them to us, since the only kind they sell here are sweetened. [Bookwyrm] With "here" being Manchester [CatJack] Er, tell them to go to Netto.
wrt speaking, there's always the comforting thought of the oft-repeated thing about einstein not speaking at all till he was four :-)
my second-oldest, who's no einstein, but on the other hand is a quite intelligent adult, still only had about half a dozen words at 18 months. My private theory is that he couldn't get a word in edgewise with his sister being around... *she* was speaking complete sentences, singing songs, could count, name colours etc before she was 1. Both got similar amounts of interaction - in fact, the younger probably got more because Jo was in creche for a few months and he never went to creche except at church.
I'm not that worried really...just want my satisfaction of being called "Mama!" ;)
I think he'll get there when he gets there - he certainly notices everything and listens well, so when he's ready to talk back he will (and then I'm sure we'll never shut him up!).
I checked out that website, about the "gifted" children, and I have to say that those moms have got to be delusional. Who ever heard of kids doing stuff like that at mere weeks or days old. They probably look at their kid's spit-up and say that their kid created art. (I wonder what Nalini would say about that?) They sounded nuts to me. Ciaran's just a little squirt still and he's already doing so much. Don't let those loonies get to you. You're both doing great.

So I think I wouldn't worry too much. :-)
