Just read this article on Jezebel
'Look, if you think you're 10-year-old still believes in Santa Claus, you are stupid. Or maybe your kid is. Take your pick. Sorry (not sorry), but those are your only options. Because if your tween is telling you that they consider an overweight man circumnavigating the globe on a flying sled that somehow manages to fit billions of dollars' worth of gifts for the millions of children living in the millions of homes he must visit in the span of one evening as being a completely plausible endeavor, then there's seriously something not right with that kid.'
Any thoughts?
BTW I believed in Santa until pretty late... maybe even 10 but I blame my older sisters who always seemed to find ways to explain why the presents I found in Mum's cupboard ended up in my stocking, to make sure they kept getting Santa presents too haha
Posted 11 December 2012 - 06:03 PM
I think 10 year olds who still believe in Santa would be quite rare, but children do develop at different rates, so it's certainly not impossible.
Posted 11 December 2012 - 06:05 PM
Hmmmm I can't imagine many kids who would believe past the age of 8.....
Posted 11 December 2012 - 06:10 PM
My 8yr old is borderline at the moment. I am sure he is not saying anything as his 5yr old sister still believes.

My mum insists she believed in Santa until she was 14. She is a little naive ..

my 10 year old still believes....think it will be our last year though...
Posted 11 December 2012 - 06:16 PM
My youngest is 6, and he tells me now that Father Christmas isn't real cos the kids at school told him!
I don't really mind, we have never made a huge deal of Santa in this house... more like a bit of a laugh.

I hope my children still believe at 10. I love the Santa side of christmas, I love seeing the magic on their faces.
I think I will be a bit sad when they don't. My youngest came home the other week telling me some kids in his reception class told him he wasn't real. He came to the conclusion they were lying

The tricky part is working out if your child actually still believes, or not.0
I'm pretty sure my 11yr old knows the truth, but she's not going to admit that to me. She enjoys the whole Christmas experience, and is definitely the sort to insist she still believes.
Posted 11 December 2012 - 06:48 PM
For those of you with kids 10+ who still believe:Do your kids get teased about still believing in Santa?Do other kids at school tell them he's not real?Do you think (even a little bit) that they know he's not real and just keep stringing you along to get the extra pressies?
Posted 11 December 2012 - 06:48 PM
I absolutely, totally, unquestioningly believed until I was nearly 11. I was far from a sheltered child, and I'd like to think I'm not stupid, but I did have a vivid imagination and a family full of storytellers who valued fantasy and imagination games very highly. I only stopped believing because I saw a Benji christmas special on TV where Benji's owner met the "real' santa and said something like "but I thought it was just my mom & dad!" and that planted a seed of doubt, and then that night I woke up when my stepfather was bringing my santa presents in as I had asked for a hula hoop with ball bearings in it (was the hot toy that year) and the sound of the ball bearings woke me up, and it was all over.
I have no idea how long my son will believe in Santa for, he's probably 5 times as imaginative as I was, and absolutely loves any kind of story or game, so he might hold on for longer than average too.

What a charming bit of drivel.
It's nothing more than "Parenting - you're doing it WRONG" 101, laced with a bit of smug "I was so advanced that...".

Kids grow up way too fast as it is
I can't believe some people tell their kids when they are 6. Given most kids only start understanding santa at age 3...thats only 3 years of childhood magic. Why bother with it at all?
They have a whole adult lifetime of dissapointing and stark realities, let them enjoy the magic for as long as they want. Childhood is all too short these days.
Posted 11 December 2012 - 06:52 PM
I believed until I was ten or so because Santa always bought gifts that my mother told us repeatedly she couldn't afford and wouldn't get us even if she could. Santa also came to grown ups in my house so not believing didn't mean that gifts stopped. We all still get Santa stockings and we are in our late 20s
Posted 11 December 2012 - 06:55 PM
I don't think not believing in Santa means childhood has ended...
Posted 11 December 2012 - 07:02 PM
I think I was 11.
I came home from school and said to Mum, "I can't believe so and so trying to tell me there is no Santa, he probably just doesn't visit them!"
My mum sighed and said:
"WinterIsComing, your breasts are growing, I can't have you believe in Santa any longer"
I was shattered. To be fair, there was no Internet in those days, and my family always had an elaborate routine of presents "magically" appearing, as well as having my uncle dress as Santa and show up on Xmas eve. I would always tell him afterwards: you missed Santa again!
Posted 12 December 2012 - 09:49 AM
The tricky part is working out if your child actually still believes, or not.0this is probably my 10yo as well. Last year she asked me at every opportunity if I was Santa but this year she hasn't said anything.
I'm pretty sure my 11yr old knows the truth, but she's not going to admit that to me. She enjoys the whole Christmas experience, and is definitely the sort to insist she still believes.
Whether they believe or not I still like having the illusion of Santa, I still put something under the tree from Santa for myself (at least I know I am getting one thing I want). My kids get their main present from us anyway and they will still get a Santa sack full of little things even when they stop believing in Santa because I love doing the sack. I love Christmas and I want to make it a magical day for my family.

I have a 10yr old and Im not to sure if she believes she has asked many questions and I have answered that you believe in what you want to believe in and that made her happy, i wont lie to her but keeping the magic alive is wonderful. my 8yr old totally believes he has special needs so has his issues and to be honest I want to tell him before someone at school tells him as i dont think he will cope so I think it will be his last christmas totally believing.

4.88/5 rDev +45.2%
Bought a 1 PT. 6 FL.OZ. bottle @ Adam Fine Wine & Liquor in Redondo Beach, CA for $14.99 and shared w/ GeoffTheAleMan. Poured from the what looks like Grape infused bottle but clearly states Cherries on the front of the bottle, into a Samuel Adams Imperial Pint Glass. Does not have a freshness date.
Aroma- Complexed as hell! Has a strong cherry aroma that is prominent but then the high fruitness/malt aroma is strong as well. Very complexed!
Appearance- Pours a 2 finger head that is off-white and last for good time. Dark amber body and looks like the body is full of ingredient. Has nice sudsy, thick lacing.
Flavor- Very pure! Not sure I've ever tasted a higher malted beer like this! Tons of cherries and has the wine attributes. Well balanced too.
Mouthfeel- Medium-Full Body, Medium-High Carbonation, Has more strength, power, and intensity then anything I've ever had! My mouth cannot even take everything happening! Leaves tons of sweetness in the mouth afterwards. Can't get any better than this!
Overall Impression- I can't believe whats happening in this brew! Starts like a cool, red wine and then hits with the most interesting, rarest mouthfeel that I've ever experience. I'm very happy that I buy brews when I'm in different states that look rare or limited while I don't know if they're rated good or not. I am going to be looking to trade for this beer even! A+ I Recommend for ANYONE! Your next beer to buy in OR/CA.

Presented in a 22oz brown bottle. Pours a really nice red, great clarity, especially for being bottle conditioned. Nice persistent head lasts till the glass is empty. The aroma is nice and bready with a spicy "Belgian" character and noticable cherry notes. The yeasty Begian character is lovely, followed by a great bready malt, the entire soaked in sweet/tart cherry. The cherry flavor delightfully lingers into oblivion. Both the yeast and cherry open up in the glass after a few minutes as the beer goes from slightly sweet to dry. Over all it's a wonderful departure from all the same old pale/brown/porter/stout/ambers and manages to not taste just like every other Rogue.

Enjoying this beer right now. Pours amberish like natural color of cherry juice with an off white color. Smells of hopps and cherries. Is sort of tart with a hoppy finish. It is veru smooth and easy to drink. I could easily drink a couple of these over an evening.

More proof that I may be aging at a faster rate than my 46+ calendar years might suggest - I nap in the afternoon and am awake at odd hours, much like my grandfathers. At least I can have a beer at this hour (0411, Local, EDT) without the worry/guilt of going into school later. Frankly, I hate to go in to school in any state other than sober as it is an inter-urban environment and the b.s. just intensifies if I am hung over.
I am setting myself up for a marathon of beer this weekend, drinking some room in my refrigerator and enjoying myself all the while. This will segue into some Sam Smith's fruit beers later.
From the bottle: "Dedicated to Farmers and Fermenters"; "GYO is a Rogue Ales term for Grow Your Own, We made this ale with our own hops and barley."; "Malty aroma, dark mahogany brown in color with a dense creamy head. Medium bodied with a rich, malty sweetness and dry cherry finish." They also include the Lat & Long for their Hopyard and Barley Farm. Har!
My intent was to not stir up any extant lees, so my gentle pour created only deep-tan wisps. Mahogany brown, eh? Good to know! Accompanied by NE-quality clarity and ruby highlights. Nose was rich with a dried dark fruit sweetness. Usually, I can recognize Rogue beers by their scent, but not in this case. I was reminded of cherry preserves, frankly. Mouthfeel was medium with a veddy dry tartness on the tongue. When I say dry, I am talking alum or desiccant territory! Man, this was drinking like some of my uncle's better cherry wines from ~ 20 years ago. Finish evinced some banana esters, no doubt the Belgian yeast poking through. Great gooddam, but this was goood! I would have this with Easter ham or on a picnic with ham sammiches. It was not sour, but more tart and dry, aligned with what I would expect from Montmorency cherries.

Deep dark cherry tinted brown body with a hint of tannish pink tinted head forming thick and dwindling even quicker thin speckled lacing surrounds the sides of my glass. Aroma has a tart cherry deep roasted malt combo going on. The tart cherries rule this brew, but especially in the nose. Strong tart cherry nose this doesn't smell like a typical dubbel, and after tasting it I would call it a weak sour ale. Flavor is full on tart cherries with touch of powdered spicy yeast noted and sliced bread. Malts don't bring out much sweetness that can be detected amongst the earthy sour yet sweet Montmorency cherries added. Finishes bone dry with hints of lactic acid, quite enjoyable even seems like there's a hint of oak barrel aging. I'm not sure if this one has that going for it but with the malts and the cherries I'm getting that vibe. Mouthfeel is medium bodied evenly carbonated nothing cloying on the palate, leaves me feeling good. I like the tart/sour drying finish between each sip, burps send alcohol and a fruit tartness up your nares that just makes me like the beer that much more. Overall drinkability I'm in cruise control, this one satisfies me in a couple ways cherry fruit/tartness/hints of bitter slightly spiced yeast components and gives me the vibe that it's been barrel aged whether or not it has I don't really care. I like the overall experience.

Poured from a 22 oz. bomber into a red wine glass.
A: Pours a reddish dark brown with a very thin layer of rapidly vanishing foam which leaves soap bubbles along the rim and lace in the center. It's a pretty beer.
S: Hay, malt, fruit, alcohol spice, and the faintest whiff of horses.
T: Opens bright with tart cherries and a the mouth-puckering notes of what tastes an awful lot like lacto. Sweet malts arrive mid-palate. The only flaw I can find with this beer is that early on I noticed a dissonant chord of a finish: wheat, pennies, esters, and bittering hops. Half-way through the bottle, and the finish doesn't bother me nearly as much.
M: A bit thinner than I'd like, but not unreasonable for the style.
O: This a delightfully refreshing fairly nuanced beer. I am surprised that it has not got as much love on this site as I would have expected.
Rock on, Rogue.

4.15/5 rDev +23.5%
Poured from bottle into ridged pint glass.
Pours a murky red brown, with a huge creamy head that dies down to a small head, with minimal lacing. Flavor comes off a little sour cherry. Little to no hop profile, which is a bummer, as the bottle boasts their own hop.
That being said, this is a tasty beer. The tart comes off as refreshing and the beer is quite effervescent. That, combined with a lack of alcohol makes this an easily drinkable beverage, however, I don't see myself having more than one.
Can't wait to see what comes next from Rogue.

writing this review from notes thanks to a computer crash yesterday. Poured from a bomber into a tulip glass. I didnt really know what to expect from this beer, but give props to the brewery for growing all their own products for the brew.
a-pours a murky, dark brown/orange. looks like the dubbel that it is, perhaps a little on the dark side. very little head at all.
s-immediate cherry smell. some malt, grain and wheat. there is some dark burned sugar as well
t-raisin, brown sugar, some fruity-ness. very dry cherry finish. a nice complex flavor like a dubbel should be.
m-again within the style. lots of carbonation but it helps let the flavors dance around on my tounge. no alcohol noticeable at all. very dry finish, but i find it pleasant.
overall, I enjoyed this beer. I enjoy belgian style dubbels, and the cherry flavor in this one wasnt overpowering. Again, props to the brewer for growing all of their own ingredients. A nice change of pace, and at 3.99 a bomber, a good price.

Review from old notes, drank fresh. 22 oz bottle pours a reddish, copper color with a fine-bubbled tan head. Decent lacing, average retention.
Signature Pacman yeast pervades the nose along with an equally identifiable smooth maltiness. Light hint of cherries...pretty faint overall but Id like to think I could identify this as a Rogue beer blinded.
Taste has more cherries than the nose would indicate. Base beer seems like a basic brown ale but showcases the cherries pretty well. This is one of the better offerings from Rogue, I rather liked this one.

Poured into a small wine glass from a 22 oz bottle. Small 1/2 finger of head, medium brown/amberish color. Head dies with very little lacing. Smells of Belgian yeast, spice, and tart cherry. Flavor borders on a barrel aged sour. A little bit more mellow than some, but quite impressive given the price. Definitely getting that Belgian Dubbel flavor as well as sour cherry. A light sweetness and a good medium length finish. One of the more impressive Rogue beers I've tried. Mouthfeel is quite fluffy, especially given the lack of head. Quite quaffable.

4.05/5 rDev +20.5%
A - slightly hazy copper red, solid tan head retained very well, not much lacing
S - cloves and fruity yeast esters, leafy hops, somewhat musty, with a candied fruit overtone
T - up front it has a very hefe like taste of cloves and fruity yeast, then comes the sweet cherry and somewhat phenolic taste, with some leafy hops and caramel malt in the background
M - well carbonated, syrupy moving to a tangy medicinal feel
T - seemingly a mix of a a few different styles, but it defintely works with the cherry flavour being present but in a nice addition to a solid brew instead of an in your face feature, refreshing and sweet at the same time

Chatoe Rogue First Growth Creek Ale
I like the play on words - "Chatoe" (not a word) vs. chateau, and "Creek" vs. kriek - and I love what they're doing with their hopyard and barley farm. Will I like the beer?
It smells moderately of cherries. Good. I don't like it over-done. There's just enough there. It only hints at cherry, and if you hadn't read the label you might just think that was yeasty fruitiness.
The same is true of the flavor. There's a bit of cherry, but it's not a lot. Unlike the aroma, however, it is clear. It rises up above the soft, lightly caramelish, wheaty maltiness. It's subtly grassy, but I can't tell if that's from the malt or hops. I find fruit at the front, followed by a rising maltiness, and then they both drop out slowly in the short-lingering finish. Interestingly enough, some clove and spice appear. Hmmm. Double hmmmm. It's a touch malty for the limited 25 BU's, and I find it a little bit out of balance. It's a touch full, but certainly not sticky... the slight tartness of the cherry helps cut through that. So I wonder, would I like it better with a little less malt? Would there be enough left for it to be a Rogue beer? I certainly don't think they should bump the bitterness - that would be a move in the wrong direction. And going more Belgian yeast wouldn't help. Hmmm???
So I'm reminded of a conversation with Michael Jackson about hedonistic tasting versus stylistic tasting, and he said something along the lines of "Well really, it's all hedonistic. But when it's hedonistic as opposed to 'does it fit the style', that's the best way to enjoy a beer". So, not that I was on about style anyway, but, did I enjoy it? - yes. Would I have another? - yes. OK then.

A: Poured out a muddy brown color. Mild head from the poor that disappears very quickly. The head was a off white color which was gone within 10/15 seconds.
S: Aromas of bread and biscuit, with some major tones of carame. There is a faint scent of cherry at the end.
T: Flavors of up front citrus and cherries, followed up by some bread and caramel.
M: Fair amount of carbonation, very smooth i thought.
O: I dig this, it is essentially a nice creaminess with some sour cherry aspects.

Bought from Tamura's in Kailua, HI for $6.99. Poured into a Chimay goblet.
Appearance: Pours a reddish-amber-brown color with a thin lace of head. Good carbonation...bubbles up to the top.
Smell: Vinegar and tart cherries.
Taste & Appearance: Some malts upfront. The cherries really come out on this one. Has a bit of a wine feel to it with the tartness of the cherries, the acidity of the vinegar taste and a dryness that tends to linger into the aftertaste. Light to medium in the body.
Drinkability: Although this is a good beer and has some characteristics that i can only attribute to my experiences with wine, I would have to say one bottle is plenty. If your a fan of cherries, then I would recommended this without any hesitation. Really respect the idea behind Rogue's GYO (Grow Your Own) series with their home produced beers.

Had this at the Kickbacks-Jacksonville beer dinner. We were told this was a dubbel style brewed with fresh cherries. This is their 4th Chatoe Series beer. It was not a sour beer but had some sublte sour flavors from the cherries used. It tatse like a dubbel but a little different. Maybe it's the pacman yeast they added. Visual was like the style as well. This was good but not somehting to go crazy about. I did enjoy it thought and I'll buy a bottle when it comes out.
The brew contains 8 ingredients: Wheat, Rogue Barley Farm DareTM and RiskTM Malts, Rogue Hopyard Revolution Hops, Montmorency Cherries, Pacman & Belgian Yeast and Free Range Coastal Water.

The year was off to a booming start with the United We Fish rally in February. Unite we did, and it was a good thing, because 2010 was a year of seismic activity for fishermen.

Fiberglass boat and rock meet; lobster boat will also 6-pack it
Last fall the Mum's Girl, a 38-foot Calvin Beal Jr.-designed lobster boat, probably had her 650-hp diesel cranked right up there when she went across a ledge and tore up 25 feet of her keel.
Gulf/South Atlantic Year in Review
Spiny lobster, stone crab enjoy banner year, but oil spill erodes demand for gulf seafood
Few Gulf of Mexico fisheries escaped harm during the terrible summer of 2010. Most that appear in our market graphic's "Losers" column do so courtesy of the BP/Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Even those that didn't suffer direct biological damage suffered huge losses in the marketplace as consumers shied away from gulf seafood.
Hove to and stove up
From U.S. Coast Guard reports
In the late 1960s, the National Safety Council aired public safety announcements whose theme was "Drive Defensively – Watch Out for the Other Guy." The PSAs highlighted scenarios in which a good driver got into an accident because of the other guy. Navigation rules that caution other types of vessels to stay clear of fishing vessels can give a fisherman a false sense of security.

Since the last update I have checked SpywareBlaster a few time and each time there were a number of Firefox protection's that had been disabled.
Tried it again this morning again and had the same problem.
So went into Mozilla Firefox on the left hand side to check it and there was a press here square that I had to press to cover Firefox.
I usually only had to press Enable all protection and that worked for IE and Firefox.Just wondering if this extra button was something new.never noticed it before.
I have rebooted a few times now just to make sure it is still working Ok.
Anyone else using Firefox with Spywareblaster have the same problem or was it just me.
The button no longer shows so I must have done something right.

25 Reasons We Love Mary J. Blige
Without a doubt, Mary J. Blige is an icon. We've loved the Yonkers native ever since she stomped her way (with thigh-high combat boots) into our hearts with her hip-hop soul classic, "Real Love," some 21 years ago. Her music has been the soundtrack that helped us grow from girls to women. As MJB readies for her 12th performance at the ESSENCE Festival, we could think of no better time to reveal the 25 reasons she rocks our world.

Route Guide - iPhone / Android - Partners - Forum - Photos - Deals - What's New - School of Rock
Select Route:
This is a nice, moderate chimney with some mixed climbing and good ice pro. The crux is on the ice at the bottom. Veer to the ice left of the chimney if it is in, or go right up the entertaining gully to mix it up a little bit and lots of no hand rests. A good warm up if it is in shape.
The obvious gully 15 feet to the right of Bigcicle. Rap the route with one 60-70 meter rope.
3-6 medium ice srews and a few runners. Two bolt chained anchors at the top of right or left exit.

1 year old Walking

Posted 22 December 2012 - 01:18 PM
Hi all, while I'm just new to EB I have found these forums most helpful. I thought I would post here and see what you had to suggest for me. My daughter has just gone one and while I know it isn't a concern that she is not walking I thought I would get your opinions. A brief rundown; DD was diagnosed with hip dyplasia at 4 days old. She was put in a brace until 3 months old and at her last check up a month ago, her hips were fine. The physio at the RCH did say however that she thought DD was 'overly flexible'/ double jointed. Which I had an idea she was because some of the positions she can get into are unbelievable haha. DD can stand holding onto the couch and cruise albeit for not very long. It's like she doesn't have the strength in her ankles and legs. DD is very petite, not even 8 kgs yet (which we're working on). I have read through a few posts about people seeing physios for their children who have low muscle mass etc. I have spoken to the MCHN and our GP and they don't think it's an issue 'yet'. My concern is that we will get 6 months down the track and then they will want to do something about it and tell me we should have done something earlier. Can anyone suggest exercises we can do with DD to maybe help strengthen her legs or should I see someone else that may he able to help. Or am I being a silly first time mum whoIs worrying about nothing?!
Posted 22 December 2012 - 01:31 PM
50% of children are walking at 12m but that also means50% are NOT walking at 12m
My kids were 16.5, 17.5 and 19.5 when they walked.
The DSs were cruising from 9m but walked 16.5 and 19.5m. DD was 12m when she started cruising and walked 17.5m
If your child is cruising I would not stress too much.
Posted 22 December 2012 - 01:58 PM
12months is still little to worry about non walking. You can organise a private physio but if your gp and CHN are not worried maybe give it a bit more time, but also go with your mum instinct.
DS didn't walk until he was almost 2 and he has low muscle tone which we knew about from about 9/10months.
Posted 22 December 2012 - 07:21 PM
Not walking at 12 months is perfectly normal. plenty of babies are still crawling or otherwise getting around - bum shuffling etc, some are walking holding onto furniture (is that what you mean by cruising?) some are not.
Sure, some babies walk as early as 10 months but others dont walk till 18 months, late end of normal.
I dont think you need to do anything at all OP, especially since MCHN and GP have both said development is normal; baby will get there in her own good time
Edited by 4kidlets, 22 December 2012 - 07:22 PM.
Posted 22 December 2012 - 07:25 PM
As PP have said, it is normal for her to not be walking yet. My 1 year old is walking but his sister was not at that age.
Posted 22 December 2012 - 07:30 PM
My youngest was rolling around at 3m, crawling at 5, sitting at 6, and cruising by 7 months. We thought she would be walking early - but she took her first steps at 13 months. I have found most children I know do it in the month or two after thei first birthday. My fourth didn't walk until 20 months!
Posted 22 December 2012 - 07:31 PM
Its totally normal to not be walking at 12 months (even though its seen as the "normal" age to walk)
My DS didnt walk (well throw himself across the room!) until 15 months.
My understanding is that its totally not a concern until they get to 18 months and even then its not total drama.
I would think just encouraging DD to cruise alot would be good. She will find her feet in her own time.
Posted 22 December 2012 - 07:35 PM
My dd was diagnosed with hip issues at birth and was in the harness for 3 mths. She cruised from about 7 mths but didn't start walking until 13 mths. I think personality has a lot to do with it she is quite cautious so was just taking her time. My sisters dd didn't walk until nearly 2 and my DS walked at 8 mths so they are all different.
Anyway as others have said 12 mths is still early. My dd walked earlier than a lot of my friends kids. I wouldn't start worrying for awhile yet.
Posted 22 December 2012 - 07:51 PM
still very early, my DD walked at 12mths but my two boys where 19mths when they walked. DS2 wasnt even crawling till 14mths. I wouldnt worry to much yet, just give her lots of oppurinty to move around she will get there

My DS didn't walk till 18 months and was cruising from 10 months. . So I don't think the not walking in itself is a concern. But I can understand giving her other issues that you want to do as much as you can to help her.
I think that it's a good idea to talk to a ped physio just for ideas to encourage her muscle strength. Do you se one from th e hip dysplasia?
But just reiterating I don't think you need to worry !
Posted 22 December 2012 - 08:34 PM
I can't give you muscle strengthening advice, however I am hoping to give you some reassurance by sharing what's happening in my mother's group. About half of the babies (now at 15 months) are walking. There are still quite a few babies that are now only taking a few steps. One of them only just started couch surfing. Which I find very interesting because he has been one of the first to pull head up, roll, crawl etc. DS on the hand was a late everything (roll, crawl etc). And he just got up one day and walked at 12.5 months. I think the time between crawling and walking was about 1.5 months. So medical issues aside, it's very hard to predict anything and if your gp/MCHN aren't worried, I wouldn't be either.
I did get him one of those activity centres from about 4 months though. He would love to stand and play in that for ages. Then, when he got tired he would sit. So maybe you can get her one of those. Although, it's probably healthier for you to encourage her to furniture cruise...Anyway, this is my five cents.

Is she crawling and sitting independently?
My DS was strong as an ox and didn't walk til 14 months.
You can always hold one hand each and help her 'walk' around for a bit, as long as she enjoys it.

12months is still little to worry about non walking. You can organise a private physio but if your gp and CHN are not worried maybe give it a bit more time, but also go with your mum instinct.
DS didn't walk until he was almost 2 and he has low muscle tone which we knew about from about 9/10months.
Did he need to do any exercises in that time to help him get strength?
Posted 22 December 2012 - 09:17 PM
Thanks everyone. The walking isn't a concern, I'm quite happy for her to crawl around. I just didn't want to get to 18 months and then have the professionals tell me that we should have done something earlier. She is sitting and crawling fine and like I said, standing up leaning on the couch, table, her toy box and play centre. But she can only do it for maybe a minute or so before she gets tired and has to sit. And as for the holding hands and helping her walk; she hates it. Will take one maybe two wobbly steps on her tip toes and then sit.
Posted 22 December 2012 - 09:18 PM
I think if your bub is cruising and weightbearing, has met other milestones and your MCHN and GP are not concerned then just give her time.
However, if you still have worries then seek a second opinion. You can see a private paed physio without a referral and they might reassure you.
FWIW - both my kids were early to roll, sit, crawl etc. They were pulling to stand and cruising confidently early as well (earliest in mother's group bar one or two). Neither walked till 15 months. Felt like it took forever, but was well within normal range. Other babies didn't crawl till 12 months and then were up and walking a month later!
ETA - my kids hated walking holding hands. They preferred to do it at their own pace.

My DS didn't walk till 18 months and was cruising from 10 months. . So I don't think the not walking in itself is a concern. But I can understand giving her other issues that you want to do as much as you can to help her.
I think that it's a good idea to talk to a ped physio just for ideas to encourage her muscle strength. Do you se one from th e hip dysplasia?
But just reiterating I don't think you need to worry !
Yeah we see a physio at the Melbourne children's hospital for her hips and she was the one who said DD would probably walk late due to double joints/overly flexible. But she said we didn't need to see anyone about it and was quite dismissive.
Posted 22 December 2012 - 10:05 PM
As others have said, completely normal for a 12 month old to not be walking The typical age range is 12-18 months I believe.
My kids have walked at 9mths, 12.5mths, 15mths, 17.5mths and 15mths. My middle child was cruising furniture from 8mths but still didn't take independent steps for another 7 months!
Definitely keep an eye on it though given there are underlying factors which may influence things.
Posted 22 December 2012 - 10:10 PM
All three of my kids refused to walk holding you fingers like other kids.
They all got up one day and gave up crawling. No few steps stumble fall just replacement of crawling within a 24hr period.
Posted 23 December 2012 - 11:26 AM
Did he need to do any exercises in that time to help him get strength?
Not particularly to help him walk, we saw a physio monthly and we would concentrate on helping him bend his knees to go up and down rather than just dropping, one of his legs is weaker than the other and the physio would set up a little obstacle course for him to play on.
He wouldn't hold our hands, and the physio told us to place our hand under his arm pits and go for little walks around the house like that. With him holding our hands he was still relying on us, but with our hands under his armpits holding him he had more control and that helped strengthen his legs.
We also made sure we had good shoes for his ankles as he was flexible (you could bend his toes up to his legs). We ended up ordering shoes from amazon (US) which were higher than normal around the ankle.
I think that's mostly it, that I can remember.

Either the CCTV or a member of the public reported it, following which the usual over reaction occurred.
When it transpired there wasn't a firearm, there were the usual red faces, but fortunately they snatched victory from the jaws of defeat as purely by chance he was wanted on warrant somewhere else.

This may be Rick's (yes, we're on a first name basis) last season coaching in the NBA.
After Westphal relayed Petrie's orders, Cousins departed the plane. Kings guard Francisco Garcia(notes) was upset that Cousins had been sent home, one source said. Garcia had Cousins meet with him at the Kings' practice facility on Thursday for a long talk about the rookie's professionalism and how he can better live up to his potential to be one of the team's top offensive options. While Cousins' teammates get along well with him and hang out with him away from the court, they're often frustrated by his moodiness and immaturity when things aren't going his way, a source said. Some of Cousins' frustration, however, stems from his belief that some of his teammates aren't punished or criticized as hard as he is when they make mistakes, another source said.Marc Spears (Yahoo) on the Cousins incident
2 months after getting a cast on his foot, Kyrie Irving finally gets it removed. Return still doubtful this season.
A so-so article, by a so-so author, about a so-so subject. /casm. Actually a very interesting article regarding the possibility of NBA players going overseas in case of a season-long lockout. Written, Produced, and Directed by HOFer TZ.
Just came upon this on YouTube. It was posted in August, so don't know how many of you have seen it. But it's the best CWebb mix I've ever seen. Enjoy!
During his rookie season, Cousins has flashed both the potential that made him a favorite of statistical analysts based on his performance at the University of Kentucky and the immaturity that made teams wary of drafting him. Starting with a 21-point, 16-rebound effort against the Memphis Grizzlies on Dec. 28, Cousins appears to be turning the corner. In his past six games, Cousins has averaged 21.2 points and 9.2 rebounds per game. The biggest key for Cousins has been his ability to stay on the floor. After topping the 30-minute mark just four times in his first 28 games, Cousins has been above 30 three times in the past six -- not counting the 29:56 he played in Thursday's win over the Denver Nuggets. Though he has yet to overcome it, Cousins has been able to limit the impact of the foul trouble that has plagued him throughout the season (he's the only player in the league averaging more than four fouls per game) and has played well enough to convince Paul Westphal to trust him out there for extended stretches. Beyond the minutes, the biggest change in Cousins' game has been the improvement in his accuracy from the field. Inexplicably, the 6-foot-11 post had been making just 41.3 percent of his 2-point attempts. The problem, as pointed out by Hoopdata.com's shot-location numbers, has been Cousins' tendency to shoot too often from long range. His shot selection has improved only slightly, but Cousins has made shots from 16 to 23 feet at a respectable 47.1 percent clip lately, justifying taking them. That number figures to fall, as Cousins has hit just 35.0 percent of such shots over the course of the season. Some of Cousins' other gains are more likely to be sustained. He is turning the ball over less frequently while also displaying an ability to create plays from the high post as a passer. Cousins has also increased his usage rate from 26.2 percent of the Kings' possessions to 28.6 percent. That Cousins has the talent to play like this has never been in question. What he will have to prove, instead, is that he can manage to sustain it over the remainder of the season.Kevin Pelton of Basketball Prospectus with his thoughts on DMC's recent games
Nene, Marc Gasol and Marcin Gortat. Cousins turned those three centers into toast during the holiday weekend, scoring 69 points on 46 shots. And he did it in every way possible. Smash-and-grab buckets in the paint. Sweet post moves. Soft midrange jumpers. He also collected 32 boards (including 16 against Memphis) in those contests. It's possible that for the first time this season, Cousins' teammates realized he's their best talent, and it could mean more late-game touches for the big rookie. In fact, in the Kings' comeback win over Phoenix, Cousins poured in 13 points in the fourth quarter while Tyreke Evans watched from the bench. One thing is certain: Cousins has put together far more good games than bad ones during the past five weeks and is looking like the player we all knew he could be.David Thorpe has DMC ranked #5 overall amongst rookies
Great, comprehensive draft write-up of Kyrie Irving. Definitely recommend this to all. Let the lotto watch begin!

Coming Out of a TranceI was raised in Portland, Oregon, in a secular, lower-middle income class home. I went to church very few times during my adolescent years. When I turned 16, I began to get involved with drugs and alcohol.
Drugs, Alcohol, and CrimeAt 17, I began a live-in relationship with a woman who was two years older than me. It was a difficult relationship, characterized by drug and alcohol abuse, physical domestic disputes, and crime (primarily theft of various items).
During this time period, I came very close to losing my life on a bad LSD trip. I lost touch with reality, jumped through several windows, and assaulted several individuals. I was told later that when the police and medical personnel arrived, an individual was coming after me with a gun.
I ended up in the emergency room with serious lacerations all over my body. After dealing with the law and going through the healing process, I continued my risky lifestyle.
Rejecting GodI remember at one point telling my father that there was no God. Although he did not live what I would consider to be a Christian life, he assured me with tears in his eyes that there was a God.
Once while in a park in Portland with my girlfriend, a young couple approached us and began to share the gospel. I told them that they would be far better off if they were to forget this Christian stuff. I offered to share my weed with them. I know now they most likely went off and prayed for us.
Thoughts of EternityAt some point during my nineteenth year, I remember beginning to be consumed with thoughts of eternity and where I might spend it. Even though I didn't believe in God, nonetheless, I was overcome with this concern.
These thoughts went on for a few weeks. I recall coming across Bible tracts on various occasions. I would read them, and then go on my way.
My grandmother was a Christian, and she was praying for me. I also had a Christian co-worker that would share her faith with me at times.
One day I was at home, sick with the flu. I began to ponder becoming a Christian. I really couldn't see myself as a Christian, as I had envisioned myself at 75 sitting in a rocking chair, still smoking my pot. For some reason as the day went on, I found myself thinking more and more seriously about Christianity. I came across one of those Bible tracts with the four spiritual laws.
Accepting GodI suddenly found myself praying to the God I had claimed earlier didn't exist. I felt this supernatural power come over me that day, and I knew I would never be the same as long as I lived.
The best way to describe it was like coming out of a trance. I suddenly had an awareness of God, Satan, and the reality of the Bible.
It is now more than 30 years later. I have been happily married to the same woman for all these years. We have raised three sons. God has blessed us in wonderful ways. I am involved in jail ministry, and am looking forward to eternity.
Although there have been a few minor hurdles along the road of life, I wouldn't trade back to the old life for anything. Praise God for changing the life of someone who didn't believe he existed.

Trek Pouch Review
... hiker!) in them - none of which matter if they get wet. So far no issues at all, the Trek Pouch has held up great. I have no concerns of them falling apart over the next 3,700 miles or so. The made in the USA cost do raise a few eyebrows, as with any well made outdoor product, you get what you pay for. Here you get a high quality, well made product, that I expect to have in use for years to come - well worth the small ...

Review of La Sportiva Crosslite model
... the sole of the shoe. Every shoe of this model, that I have seen on the trail has the same defect. Usually starting at around mile 150, there has been 4 pairs so far. I contacted the warranty department and had a little run around....even tho they know there is a defect with this model, the guy said 350 miles is excellent miliage for these types of shoes. Not true at all. There is still about 55% tread left, and I have put on a lot more miles on ...
Wet hiking
Wednesday, May 14 2014 Woke up a little late, had a good breakfast, and then headed out! The weather was great today, light cloud cover and a breeze. Most of the day was the usual, tall trees, streams and talking to others. I did get a chance to talk to a father/son that do sections of the A.T. every year. The father was old school - heavy gear, external frame and big boots. The son was new school, light gear, frameless pack, and trail runners. ...

Just when you thought you had heard it all...
Bev Oda was busted for smoking in a Washington DC hotel room, and fined $250 dollars for the privilege. She then tried to charge it as an expense, but paid it back when it was discovered, or about to be discovered.
Small potatoes, when you think of all the wasteful things the Harper Conservatives have spent our money on. But, it is indicative of the lack of honesty and accountability that is rife in that government.
There are hotel rooms in Washington DC that allow smoking BTW. So she didn't tell her staff to book it that way, or they screwed up.
There were also reports that she expensed an air purifier for her non smoking office in Ottawa, so she could smoke undetected. Note: Smoking indoors, stinks. You just can't hide it.
Smoking at work in a non smoking building is also something that the rest of us would be fired for. Big no no. Not a so called "conservative" in the Harper Government. They is speshul. Yanno.
I can see why Bev doesn't want to smoke in public, that smokin' gangsta pic made the rounds on the intertubes and was a grand source of mirth and mockery. (I have gone there too!)
Bev resigned back in July, she will now get a cushy taxpayer funded pension (something they don't want any of us who work our whole lives to have) and most likely a well paid job on some corporate board where she can smoke in hotel rooms all over the place. She did a lot of "favours" while she was in government.
Just none of them were for us.

Andre Chreky Review
Housed in an elegantly renovated Victorian town house, this salon offers complete services—hair, nails, facials, waxing, and makeup. Because it's a favorite of the Washington elite, you might just overhear a tidbit or two on who's going to what black-tie function with whom. Adjacent whirlpool pedicure chairs allow two friends to get pampered simultaneously.
