Dee - I dont begrudge buying Jenna a single toy!!! I love watching her interact with them, she's started holding a rattle and shaking it - but only after I put it in her hand. i can't wait until she grabs it herself. And as for the heater - the house is very well insulated being new, so once its warm, it stays warm. But the heater is fabulous - its sized for a kindergarten/shop etc, so its way oversized for the house.

Shannon - bugger about colic - but I think all babies are a bit colicy. Jenna has nights like Jessalyn's but thankfully they are becoming less common. Thank GOD!!!!! And I reckon Jenna had 3-4 pooey nappies a day until she was about 4-5 weeks?? Now they are pretty regular at one a day, but we have days like yesterday where there were 4!!! My older brother was called Poozer Bill when he was a baby - I think we'll have to call Jenna Poozer Jane when she has days like that.

Michelle - here's hoping Alex's good nights continue. At your stage I was saying - please can I have 2 goood nights a week, 3 ordinary, and 2 bad. It made it seem easier to deal with the bad ones if you knew a good one was around the corner!!

Went for a big walk today, decided after about an hour to stop at SIL's place where she is looking after a 16 year old mentally disabled girl. Jess had such a nice time playing with Jenna - she was so careful, and Jenna lapped up the attention. I send Shane an SMS saying to come and get me, as I couldn't face the 30mins to get home again. He is having surgery tomorrow, so he's moping around the house like he wont wake up from the anaesthetic, and wont let go of Jenna. Silly old thing.
