Fi - Glad to hear you had a wonderful holiday. Ella's dad is a Cook Islander....I am taking her to Raro just after Christmas. I originally turned Ella around when she was 3 months. She only lasted forward facing for about 1 week before I found out all this info. When I turned her back she turned into a monster, but I have plenty of toys hanging off the cargo barrier to keep her ammused these days.

Has anyone put vegemite in mashed potato for their babies. I have found that Ella likes tasty food not bland. Does anyone have a recipie for rusks? I have heard that they are very easy to make and would like them for Ella.
