Just wanting to jump in to say I agree with the girls, lets support each other in the decisions we make. We are all playing this mummy game by ear and there is just too much negativity out there already about what we "shouldn't do".

As for the baby recipe books, I was given a book before Tara was born. It call the Complete Baby & Toddler Meal Planner by Annabel Karmel. It has some fantastic recipes up to the toddler years which will probably become part of our family meal planner when Tara is a little bigger.

Well we have been a little sick here as well, just a cold I think for all of us so making sure Tara stays warm and well hydrated and getting lots of rest. Luckily for me Tara is happy to take water from a sippy cup, just 10ml-20ml's but still enough to keep up her fluids. Still getting lots of wet & dirty nappies so hopefully soemthing that will pass pretty quickly as next week all things begin.

It is hard to come to terms with the fact that Tara will be 6 months old on Monday and starts swimming lessons (that's if her cold is gone away) and then immunisations on Wednesday and her MCHN visit on Thursday for weigh in. I'm guessing she now weighs between 7.5kg-8kg's . We are also doing the car seat change this weekend as well to forward facing and I've even just bought another cheaper car seat for our little car and also a stroller so I don't have to take the big car out all the time.

Anyway, better get little miss into bed for another nap and then lunch. Oh, also daylight savings worked out well for us... bed by 6.30pm and awake 8.30am... I am so lucky to have a baby that loves her sleep.
