Becky, nice find for anything 80% off... and we did have a quiet phase for a while. Some of the other baby groups born after us have way more threads than us already we were the talkative Belly bunch though

Nice on the collection Lisa. Jen had all her fishies on top of a speaker in the bedroom - til one day one of the cats decided to use the front of the speaker as a scratching post, pulling it over and broke about 7 of the 9 pieces in the stand on top of the speaker. Swarovski fixed all bar one piece (the telescope fish). The plane I bought in Austria has been fixed twice for free when others have broken it - grrrr but yay on it being able to be fixed. They charged Jen a nominal $20 fee for fixing what they could of hers. She was in tears on the phone to me describing what had happened

When I was working in Canberra 2 years ago, there was a swarovski shop in the local Canberra Centre shopping centre near work... I'd go in there and just look at it all


Think we've sussed out the solids issue - dont wait til he is starving before feeding. Give him the bottle, wait say 45mins for the fullness of the bottle to go away, then he is quite happy to eat away. He loves yoghurt. Jen has started putting a little on the end of the teaspoon which has other things behind it. And he just smiles away as he's devouring it - looking straight at me !! I love my boy


Going up to the shops shortly, put some $$ of Geordieland (we can't resist, even though the spelling is wrong) and then off a little later, one of the mums in our group is holding a little get-together for the race this arvo. All bar 2 I think are going as they have prior commitments but both said they'd rather be with us. Will have a squiz for my SS pressie too, gotta get that soon
