Mel- Crystal cascades sounds beautiful, we went and did the Kondalilla falls walk with my 2 boys last weekend. I thought it was only going to be 200m to the little waterfall but it was like 2 kms or something and we had the nappy bag, small esky, the rocker and my handbag???lol.. dunno what we'd need with that.. eventually we made it to the falls and it was so nice, next time ill be taking my hugabub and just a sml backpack i think... soooo sore the next day. Going to the beach and lunch would have been so nice, i cant remember the last time i lazed around on the beach with Trev.

Cass- I would love to be able to scrapbook, I started one with Sam that never got finished, then poor Oliver, i havent even had time to put his photos into an album , Did try avocado with Oliver too and not sure if he was too fussed with it either.

Jass- How exciting, i cant wait until Oliver can sit up.. He gets stuck on his belly alot. Is there anything you did to help him along? I tried putting Oliver up against some pillows and stuff but he was just falling over laughing.. Thought sitting was just hilarious.

Anna- I went through a really bad stage a couple of months ago and was going to try lovan. I ended up just taking St Johns wort for a couple of months, I found it like took the edge off if you know what i mean. I felt alot more relaxed and able. I don't think you can breastfeed with it or take other medicines with it.. but worth a try if lovan doesnt work out.. Let us know how your going. I know how crap it is to feel like that..

Teething sucks doesnt it.. I never noticed it with Sam. He didnt get his first tooth until he was 10 months old. But Oliver is drooling and cranky and getting a dose of panadol every other day at the moment. Poor thing.
Ive noticed Oliver has a huge sleep for his first day sleep, he wakes at like 6.30 and by 9.30-10 hes ready for a sleep and he goes for about 2-3 hours.. then has like a half hour nap at about 4.30 then he sleeps most of the night sometimes waking to have a change of nappy or a random bottle. Very lucky with night time. I was wondering if i should start waking him from his long sleep to even it out a bit? But then i dont want to break his night routine.

Any tips on how to get pumpkin stains out? and also how much are you giving your babies with solids.. Oliver has been having about 3 cubes.. but still seems hungry? I dont want to overfeed him though because he is quite spewy.
