Aww Gigi hope your feeling better. That sucks.
Suse hope the boys get better and you dont catch their colds.
Maz Im saving cashola for when youre taking orders again so look out Hope Mateauz had a good party and has fun on Thursday!

Im thinking I need to get a play group Aidens not really getting the idea of crawling and hes really trying. I think other kids would benefit him or am I crazy? Im just wondering cz everyones making a big deal about him being 7 months and he cant sit on his own, he cant crawl only says mum and bub and not very clearly. Please tell me Im stressing over nothing.
Other news XPs mother called to have a go about buying DS nappies off b4b telling me if I expect DS to wear other kids nappies I should wear other peoples jocks That bit her in the bum cz I emailed her pics of ds (to be nice) and she emailed back raving on about his gorgeous nappy (cheetah jamtots). Guess where I got that?? She had to eat her own words and I got what would translate as an apology from her. Yay!

rhyb - at 7 months you wouldn't really be expecting them to sit or crawl at that age. Each baby develops differently. If you're worried, get a full check up with a trusted gp. If you don't have a trusted gp, I'm happy to recommend mine. He's fantastic. As for speaking, Emily only says 'dada', and that's perfectly fine.
Are you free this week? Pop around if you like so he can have some friends to play with

Yeah sounds good Jodi. I took him to a GP and he said DS isnt developing as he has no interaction with other littlies and I should be taking him to playgroup but im shy He does weird things like he was playing in his room while I was hanging out clothes and I could hear him making weird noises on the monitor so I went inside to check on him and he was under his bed. God only knows how So far all Ive seen is him get on his knees so I cant really figure it out

Rhyb Jaidan didn't crawl properly until he was 11 months old. He used to scoot on his butt from about 7 months. Chase on the other hand was crawling before 5 months lol they really are ALL so different! I wouldn't be too worried about it right now, it is too early for that!

Nappy news, well I got a lovely email today to say my nappies are getting posted monday! So I will have 2 more Wild Child Bling nappies to add to my 4 I already have lol

Rhyb - I wouldnt worry about DS not sitting or crawling, every kid has their own time frame for milestones! My eldest is a whiz kid, was crawling and cruising at 6mths and walking at 10mths full time, had an extensive vocab by one blah blah blah but Ripley, totally different story! He didnt crawl til 8.5mths (he went from commando to knee crawling pretty quickly though) and really surprised us by walking at 11mths, I honestly expected it to be more like 14mths! He's such a chilled out dude and likes doing things in his own time, he obviously just wanted to do it when he felt like it and once he made the decision to its was all systems go from there. Aiden may very well be the same, he'll be slow to take it up but once he does it'll be a split second change and he'll be off and running (or crawling in your case). I thought the reason behind Jetts eagerness to do everything early was being in childcare one day a week but Ripley has had his big brothers leadership in things like that and STILL took his sweet time so blows the learn off other kids theory out of the water. Same goes for speech (although I do think it helped Jett some in that department). Playgroup is always a good thing for kids though, there is only so much us mums can give them and other kids tend to be what they are looking for at times. If we were in Cairns Id offer my boys as playmate's
Poo on your xp's mother too, silly woman, whats wrong with pre-loved goods as long as their clean and in good nick? I own a few little op-shop gems that I love to wear! I consider it being $$ concious which isnt a bad thing at all.

oh I love op shopping for everything! Ashtons clothes, my clothes, the boys clothes, material, wool! You can find some great things!
I got awesome books for under $2 each (including mem fox and the whos feet/ears etc series), osh kosh/PP/fred bare clothes and even a nice warm winter coat for myself for $5! I really love it!

[Freya]

My boys have some lovely baby clothes I scrounged up in op shops and people comment on how cute they are and ask where I got them from. I always love the look on their face when I saw 'Oh the Salvo's op shop!" Dh's fave going out shirt was found on one of my op-ping trips, practically brand new and a brand name to boot!

[rhyb]

Yeah Im not bothered too much just thought what a stupid thing to care about really Im trying to focus on the fact that DS is clothed, fed and most of all loved and they can stick their opinions lol I love b4b so why should I justify it to them??

ME!! But I have 3 clothes lines to make up for it

On the nappy front, I got my replacement itti bitti last week. The old one started falling apart, so Sue was kind enough to replace it. The 6 month warranty on it was up the week I sent the email. Good timing.
