Hey all,

Angela - great to hear you are getting somewhere with Ella and the specialists. Hopefully it will be fixed up sooner rather than later!

Tanya - PMSL at Emily on the potty. Shake shake shake, shake shake shake, shake that booty, shake that booty oh shake shake shake etc ect etc. is the song that went through my head as I read it!! LOL Jenna is the same with crawling too. She gets her bum in the air, but her arms just aren't quick enough to catch up. She has however become very proficient at rolling - everywhere! A doll isn't too bad, as long as it is washable! Jenna has started sucking on the muslin chucky clothes. Its quite cute.

Deb - We've started calling Jenna - Mooser - (short for Missy Moo), so I had a little laugh when I saw Gabster. Will these children ever know their real names?

Michelle - I'm sure you know better what to do with Alex than the CYN. Some of them are daft - or maybe you have a good one? Follow your gut is what I say.

Dee - There is definitly a 18week growth spurt. I think they are 6,12 and 18weeks, and then they settle down fror a while. Hopefulyl your BBs settle down quickly. If not - make sure you store some milk in the freezer for arainy day! or a sunny one - when you get to go shopping and leave Matthew at home iwth dad!

Bec - I was thinking about walking around to see you for a cuppa this week. Are ya up for it? Wednesday might be good for me? And I have been caught doing a naked walk through my house - only to find a tradesman working on the house next door with his eyes above fence height!! I ran to the next room, but that had lots of windows, and so did the next one etc.... VERY embarrassing!!!

Nell - hope you had a nice day shopping. jenna and I wandered the streets of Melb CBD while Shane was at child support yesterday. She couldn't stop looking at all the people, places, signs and colours! It was very exciting for her!

Angel - It wont be long until Kynan thinks anything happening is incredibly fascinating - so much so that everything else stops so he can watch it! We have battles sometimes with feeding. So it wont be tears, but giggles and big bright eyes!

Sarah - Ewwwww on the spew!!! Poor little mite. Hopefully those days are numbered. The magical 6mth mark is rapidly approaching, and I'm sure youa re looking forward to it as me! Fingers crossed all our spewy babies settle down then huh?

Shannon - bugger about the op, andI hear you on moving the cot further away. I still wake up with all her gurgles, but I'm getting better at waiting them out. Arms reach is too tempting huh? Your routine sounds much like ours. We like to have her in bed by about 8pm, and then she'll wakeup anywhere from 3-5am for a feed, but the great thing is, she's started going straight back down. Gone are the days when I was up for 90mins at 3am. YAY!

Right - better go watch the all blacks trounce the wallabies. Go the mighty All Blacks!!
