HI girls,

well I have been going through our old belly and baby buddies threads and making up a kind of journal for Lily when she grows up. And also for me to remember...ahhh all this reminiscing is making me clucky, hehehe!! DH would die if he knew I wanted another bub already . I think it would be great to have something like this for when I had Lily and knew about the hard times my mum went through when she had me. I think it would be so reassuring that you are doing the right thing.

Lily had a good night sleep too. She slept from 7-1, up for a feed then slept til 5 when I gave her her dummy and slept til 7...wooohooo!!!! I'm happy with any day we're not up at 5am
She's driving me insane with her rolling. She learnt to roll fram back to tummy a few weeks ago, but can't figure out how to get from tummy to back so gets stuck and frustrated when she an't get back! Grrrr I don't know how many times a day I utrn her over! I'm trying to teach her how to do it herself, but she just doesn't get it...
We're going great guns with the solids now. She loves her applea and pears now, as well as weetbix. I have given her some zucchini and potato today and she was a bit unsure about it at first but ate it all anyway, hehe. I have also made and frozen some sweet potato and broccoli to try in the next week or so. She also loves her water from her sippee cp and is so cute to see her sucking from the spout, trying to coordinate her mouth to get it going, LOL!!

Kristie, I'm glad to hear things are going well for you . How are you doing with your body shop parties? I was thinking about them to do for a while...I don't know how I would go though I am kind of a quiet person and to stand up and talk in front of people...I don't know!

Erin, sorry to hear you had a bad MIL experience. I'm lucky in that my PIL live in Maryborough Qld...about 17hrs away from us. They hate sydney too, so aren't likely to visit anytime soon. We see them once a yr, or try to and they are lovely people, but I don't think I would like to have them in my home for 2wks! We had the waking-every-hour for a week or so too and then her two bottom teeth popped up. Thankfully it is over now and she seems to have gone back to her normal routine.

Melissa, I hear you on the S-T-I-N-K-Y poos, oh my goodness!!! I thought her poo stank before, but now it could kill a water buffalo!! I'd love to start swimming lessons, but it's a bit expensive for us at the moment. I will do it next yr when I go back to work. My mum has a pool too so I can do it myself a bit this yr when it gets hotter. Lucky you with Olivias sleeps, we're always up before 7am.

Ok my monkey is stuck on her belly in her cot and is calling me.....
