tegan - have you decided on a cake yet? i have taken the stress out of it (as much as i wanted to make eliana a cake) i saw a gorgeous one at the donut shop so she is having a hot pink number one donut with flowers all over it - much easier to take to the park! how is lily's thrush - hopefully it has cleared up by now - lily will be walking in no time - your shopping centre photos sounds so cute - you will have to put them on your website so we can see

beth - hope the m/s is much better this week - how cute that kaleb is trying to walk - did you manage to get a party hat photo? i took some of eliana in a party dress yesterday at DP's mum's (needed it for the paper as she gets to be the birthday child of the week)

kmh - welcome - eliana was in scn for 48 hours due a temp too - no doubt she is thriving now

jess - not too many more sleeps till japan - enjoy every moment cause it will be over before you know it - im sure aidan will be so excited to see you when you get back

our meet up in the park with the mums & dads from our prenatal class went really well - it wasn't too hot & we followed the shade around - it was great to see how much they had all grown & hard to believe that this time last year none of them were here!! didn't find a xmas tree i like yet but will try & get one this week & put the tree up early as eliana is pointing to them in the shops & figured i may as well get as much use out of it (i hate having to pack it all away!) im slowly getting everything organised for eliana's birthday party - about half of the people have replied so i have a rough idea on how much food i will need - looks like eliana's next two teeth will be down before the end of the week - she has become really clingy & some days just wont' sit on the floor by herself!
