Sharon,
BJ is exactly the same with his bottles....we came to the conclusion that he has a little tummy that fills up fast but empties just as fast!
He'll scoff his bottle for the initial 5-10, then when he starts "Gacking" (the lovely noise he says when he wants the bottle removed!) we burp him, then much like Liam, its chase the mouth (or trap the head between peck and upper arm) for a bit...then stop for 10 minutes or so, then scream cause "why did you stop feeding me I wasn't actually done ya know" then he finishes it!


Oh yeah and I was up at 4:00-5:30 cause Benjamin thought that was a good time to be smiley, awake and cute

It was so nice to sleep through the rain last night. Any other GCoasters or Brisbanites? A few more pox appeared on his scalp and I didn't know but one had burst on his head and I kissed his head this morning and got it on my lip. THE most contagious part of the pox. I certainly hope my immunity holds up to that! I can NOT go down with adult pox right now thanks.

Re milk consumption, I have no idea how much His Royal Poopy Britches has but I know an engorged breast is a massive dose of milk, over 200 mls easy, and he has pounded that several times without complaint. He probably has a big appetite cos I think he is currently in the lead for weight gain at almost 8 kilos .

I'm finishing my bachelor of science (ND) and seriously contemplating moving the degree to a medical degree and becoming an ND MD. It will take another five years from where I'm at now at least, but I'm excited at the thought. It's either that or becoming a pilot, which I've wanted to do for ages. I'm in career planning mode these days, so I'll be off and running in four years when Ci will take to day care happily. Well, that's when DD took to it happily. I don't mind waiting that long for day care, I kinda enjoy this moment of Housewifery and Domestic Goddessery... I'm perfecting my cookies (I bake a MEAN choc chip cookie) and casseroles. Which reminds me, anyone have a casserole recipe they think is worth sharing? I don't like beef so much.

Ci is blissful in the HaB at the mo, I might finish my assignment while I have all this motivation to actually do it.
