HI girls,

Kellee- it does take ages to organise photos. Did you buy albums that said acid free? Just that those ones are supposed to not damage your photos.

Well done Michelle, sounds like you got right into your album. I too got the album out on Sat arvo and did 4 pages, I just need a red pen to finish the heading one 1 page and that means I have completed Josh's year at Kinder, which ended up taking 12 pages to cover it all, but I am really happy. I included his graduation certificate, bday invites and a few other memorabilia items, so I am pleased with it. I can understand how it would be difficult to do Jessi's album, I think you will know when the time is right and then it will probably be a very special thing for you, and a lovely reminder of your precious little treasure.

I don't know if you remember the friend who's little girl was diagnosed with cancer about 6 mths ago, she is the same age as Jemma, well last I heard things weren't good, for awhile the tumours were going then something about cancer spreading to the liver and the choice being quality or quantity in regard to treatment, apparently they changed that and are giving it another go with some treatment. I have my fingers crossed for them that this treatment performs the miracle they are looking for.

Anyway my little bugger Jessica has another tooth so that's 2 down the bottom, and she pulled herself to stand up on her rocker chair on Sunday, she thinks she is just so clever and she isn't even 7 months till the 2nd April. I am so sad that she is in such a hurray to grow up, but that's the way it goes I guess.

As for food/bottles, Jessica has a bottle at approx 7am and always leaves some (I offer 260mls), I use the left over to give her cereal around 9-9.30am, then she goes to bed and has a 2nd bottle at 12ish, then a bottle about 3or4pm and another at bedtime. We only give cereal in the morning and even then she doesn't eat much, I make up 2 tbsp of cereal and she eats about half of it. I am going to the HC tomorrow to weigh in and ask about food tomorrow. Jessica is the opposite to Yasin in the way that I can't hold her to give her a bottle anymore even, she wants to hold it herself/have it propped. Tonight I had to put her to bed with the bottle cos she refussed to drink while I held her. And she will not go to sleep if I cuddle her, but will in her bed. I had to take the basinette part out of the portacot as she was pulling herself up on the side and the next step was over on her head. I finally finished painting the cot and put it up in her room. I am going to start putting her to sleep in it during the day till she gets used to it. Her new curtains in her room have this fummy smell, so I am going to have to try some sort of deoderiser I think. And I need to buy the chest of drawers this week so I can paint it and have it finished by next week. I also wanted to take the girls for photos at broadmeadows on Weds and I have the chn's hospital for Jemma on thurs, so the week is jampacked already and then school breaks up on Fri. 2 weeks of insanity will follow. I also need to book a massage and an eye appt for myself, as I have been wearing my glasses the last 36hrs and I thik my head has been less dizzy. I didn't have to wear my glasses all the time but I think all the time on the comp helpos to strain my eyes. My sister and Dad wear glasses all the time, so maybe I need to too.

Sorry for the epic.

Must fly
Michelle
