Zennie the hitting and grabbing thing is definitely an age related thing, Oliver is doing it too, we usually just ask him to be gentle, or say softly and get him to stroke our faces.
BabyWrangler that's great that BJ has the rolling thing down pat, well Oliver is on his tummy he moves backwards, which is really frustrating for him since he is usually trying to get at a toy that is in front of him LOL, he seems to have stopped rolling again... Oh, and i'm a believer of the if it ain't broke, don't fix it saying too.
sarah_dobbo2 that's great that Wyatt has starting eating his farex, I a firm believer that they know when to do things when they are ready not when we want them to.
alittlegrubi great that the christening went well, and also fantastic news on the breakthrough with toilet training, I remember when I started TT Jordan and he would just scream whenever we tried to get him to go,so we left if for about 3 weeks, at which time he became ready, the only thing we had to watch for was him going off into a quiet corner for his poo's as he didn't like to be 'watched' lol so I know how much of a big deal it is when you finally get them to master the pooing on the potty/toilet.

Well, there will probably be a few who don't agree with what I did yesterday with Oliver but, I really don't care, we where out for the afternoon after school with a friend of mine and the kids went swimming, by the time they had finished they where starving so we went to mcdonald's, now Oliver had already had his 'dinner' but he was grabbing at my chippies so I gave him a couple, there wasn't any salt on them, and if there was I brushed it off, but he loved them, he was only really sucking on them and probably on had about 5, but he really was loving it, and there is no way I would have given him them as a substitute for dinner it was just a treat, so I am thinking of starting him on some toast for breakfast and see how he goes since he did so well with the 'chewing' of the chippies.

Oh, forgot to add, I have booked Oliver into swimming lessons on Monday, it is a mum's and bub's one so we will see how he goes, it's more safety and floating to start off with and not actually swimming.
