Wow... one day away from BB and look what I have to catch up on!

Before I forget tho.... Sarah and Dee - that link I sent you was wrong. You need to wack an " .au " on the end because doofus here forgot to put it on. Nell asked me about it so I went to check and it was a whole other site!! ](*,) So if you went there and it doesn't make sense, that's why. Silly me!

Thanks everyone for the 5 months congrats. I can't believe we are almost half way through her first year!! 8-[

Angela - yay for Ella's tooth! I hope they all come in that smoothly for you and her! Hope you can find a lovely christening dress. I will have to get mine out and have a look next time I am at Mum's.

Bec - sounds like you had a lovely weekend. The scrapbooking sounds great. LOL @ being married so long that there isn't much conversation. Neil and I still converse but it's usually me doing all the talking and him grunting every now and then, LOL. Hope you are feeling better.

Trish - yay @ your offer being accepted for the house. I dunno how you guys afford to buy houses up that way. My Aunty and Uncle flipped when they came down from Canberra for a visit because the houses were so cheap and they were looking at properties in Torquay which are considered expensive!! Yay 4 the bargains at your undercover wear party. LOL @ Brandon "suddenly" being ok. Put him to work, I say!!

Michelle - I would say to try and string Alex out til 4 months. Gabby was having some Farex at about 4.5 months (mainly because I felt my supply was low) but now she has it because she has been watching us eat.

Sarah - isn't it funny how when you go out without the baby, you feel like you have left something behind? I always go to get Gabby out of the car when she's not with me. Bizarre!

Dee - I am with the others. You are not overfeeding Matthew by any means. He has lots to drink during the day because he sleeps so well at night. Gabby was pretty much the same. Now she has adjusted herself. She sleeps less at night (7-8 hours instead of 10-12 hours) and has longer naps during the day. They are the ones that figure it out. Your MIL is obviously from the generation where a strict routine was advised (and found to be no good for the child at all). So don't let her put doubt into your head. You are doing an amazing job!!!

Nell - YAY for Matty's second tooth AND for having a drink from his sippy cup AND for going to the footy. WOW! He's a clever boy. You can see what they mean when they say that kids grow up way too fast, hey?

Tanya - I hope you got a better sleep last night. LOL @ the girls playing with lipstick until all hours of the night. It makes me remember what we used to get up to during our sleepovers.... oh dear!!

Well, I managed to drag Neil to church yesterday. Mum was rapt. She took Gabby up the front to show her off when the service started. It was a bit full-on (communion and everything - a lot for Neil) but it was nice to catch up with a whole lot of people that I haven't seen in a while. Gabby was pretty good. She started sooking a little so I wrapped her up and gave her to Hanna (my sis) because she can normally get any baby to sleep. But Hanna had to help with handing stuff out so she gave Gabby to Mum and she wouldn't sleep. So I popped her in the hug-a-bub and she slept for about 30 minutes. She was a pretty good girl tho.
We had lunch and Mum's then headed home. I was sooooo tired for some reason so I had a nap when Gabby did. She slept for 4 hours!! 8-[ I woke up at about 7pm. Neil had done the dishes and cooked dinner. WOW! If only all Sundays were so perfect.
