Wow it has been so busy here and so much has happened!

Firstly Kathryn that must have scared the hell out of you with Lachlan Choking!! I think a first aid course is wise, just one thing to remember with all the resucitation and CPR on babies is you only have to do the chest pushes with 2 fingers and short breaths etc..I have heard of some AWFUL stories of parents OVER pressurising the chest, i don't think I need to say more. It is a good idea to put up the info, but be aware that the info should be EXACTLY what is writen in a first aid book and quoted etc because Belly Belly could get themselves in hot water over someone following the info and the wrong result. Sorry to be negative but I came across this when preparing info for the vacation care I used to run!
(also sorry about the pic, won't happen again )

Christy Your girl is just AMAZING! Skater parents huh? might explain where the adventurous spirit comes from The swimming lessons sound fantastic, but that is quite expensive, some of the mothers from my mothers group are think of starting their babies, and I have taken Felix several times this week, and he absolutely LOVES the water now (doesn't put his face into it though!)
I love the image of Matilda pushing you out of the way and dunking her head under..what a girl!

To all those babies pulling themselves up to walk..HOLD ON NOW..you'll spend the rest of your lives doing it why rush?

Hey Mel, sounds like you have been really busy no wonder you haven't been in here! I am glad you are enjoying your new home now, though leaving the old one sounded hard! Glad Adara has finally got to like it, amazing how attached they are at this age to their surroundings.
Thanks for the congratulations about the wedding, IKWYM about having a baby at the honeymoon, we are planning one night in a hotel up the mountain, and I'm hoping to get Felix to the satge where he can perhaps be minded for the night, he'll be 19 mths old by then.

Well I was up at 4:30 am this morning as the girl I work with on weekends decided to get up with the birds, unfortunately I stayed up watching a flim on TV last night..so didn't get much sleep..oh well bed early tonight!
