    Morning all!

    LOL@ Nick Jr!!!

    MT - I posted a link of the house (which then goes to real estate dot com) on my profile on facebook ... any of the new ladies on FB, feel free to add me (link is in my sig) just let me know who you are Most of us are on there (so we have BB and FB!! LOL)

    Mel - Master K LOVES George too! And Roary! He's forever going "where's me spanner? where's that at?" LOL! I try to alternate Nick Jr and Playhouse Disney (for some bizarre reason, I even like Johnny and the Sprites!) But even if he is down in the backyard, he comes racing into the house if you change the channel. Mind you, you can't HEAR the TV outside, so he must have some kind of radar!!

    Bec - we choose not to immunise, and the old ECHN (she retired) and one of our docs always look down their noses at us, like we are going to be the sole cause of some epidemic! I was actually reading a couple of interesting letters in Sydney's Child last week, but I won't go into it!

    Sash - yesterday I had someone ask how old Master V was, and when I said 4 months, this poor guys eyes nearly popped out of his head! He told me his EIGHTEEN MONTH OLD is the same size!!!!!!!!! So for all you mums out there who are worrying (or having others worry you) about the size of your bubs, I wouldn't! And I don't particularly think he is BIG per se, but he looks HUGE when I'm holding him! LOL!

    Kel - Veygas does the excited kicking thing too, especially in the bath (so I get splashed ALOT!) And like Kye, he tilts his head to look behind him (???) Don't know what is so interesting there, but .....

    Anyways, big to all I've missed, but I gotta go beat the crap out of some rugs (they are FILTHY!)

    mwaaaah! xxxx

    the phone! the phone is RINGING!! the phone! we'll be right dere!

    Yep, guess who sings that when the phone is actually ringing Well... Jazz likes it so there hehehehe
    My favourite shows (I alternate between NJ and PHD) are Tigger and Pooh, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Little Einsteins (but we NEED MORE POWER!), Imagination Movers, ummmm, I also like the Doodlebops Well! Theres good music for us to sing along to! Ahhhh, I watch too much TV!

    Bek, that dr sounds awful. Ignore her, she doesn't know you, or your DD. What a *****! My GP said its not the weight that counts, as long as she's gaining and it follows the curve it doesn't matter! You are doing a great job, and if bfing is working for you then don't feel you have to put her on formula unless you want to. We got our Bumbo from babies galore in Morayfield, not sure where in SC you are but you can get them from baby dreamland in Maroohcydore and Bubs Baby Shop in Noosa. You can also buy online.

    mm, about V scratching himself. We have to keep on top of Jazzy's nails every few days, they grow so quick its amazing!! I usually notice when she pinches me during feeding... OW! Ok, time to cut the nails again!
    We were at Woolies, there was a bub a bit smaller than Jazz sitting up in the trolley, and I said to Shel "wow, look at that clever little baby sitting up so well already!" and the mum turned around and said "oh, well he's 8 months old" oooooooook, I say, I guess we have a heffalump!!!

    Kel, we call that Jazzy's happy dance LOL! Her legs and arms go crazy! It's so funny! I had to stop changing her on the change table because she almost propels herself off!
    OMG I hate ****roaches BTW. NEVER EVER EVER going to that Coles again! BLERK! *shudder* I really hate them.

    Alesia, I'm not sure exactly how much Jazz is having... well, two ice cubes worth LOL! I'll measure it when I get the inclination to get off my butt! hehehe! We started Jazz on half an ice cube once a day, now she's eating breakfast and dinner, two ice cubes at each meal and could probably go for more, but I just give her some booby lol. Yep her poo is more solid now, to be expected, I don't think it goes back to the runny runny milk poo, unless you were to stop solids and just give milk again.

    Mel, next week sounds great! Anytime suits me I'm not doing anything, as usual LOL!

    hey, quick question... has anyone but their bubs front facing in the car yet. OMG I can't wait until we can, getting her in and out is a friggen nightmare! Trying to lift her above the dumb anchorage straps, either her legs get caught because I don't lift her high enough, or her head hits the roof because I lift too high. Ours says to turn between 8 and 9kg, hopefully she'll hit that soon (she was 7kg two weeks ago, the dr didn't check her weight at immunisations, just picked her up and said "yep, she's a good size" PMSL!)).

    Squidipa - one ounce = about 30 grams (roughly). If ever you're stuck with any conversions, just google (ie "ounces to grams, pounds to kilos etc!) I do it ALL the time! And yeah, since my post this morning, I haven't been able to get back til now, but apparently it's been a common problem with lots of us!
    YAY for Joshie's gain again!!

    Leash - yeah, it's sad that the kids shows have such sing-along-able songs! "we're going on a trip in our favourite rocket ship ..." I do cut V's nails every couple of days too ... his cheek FINALLY stopped bleeding this afternoon I almost started to worry about haemophilia
    Go the heffalumps!! I was actually considering turning V's seat soon, cause he's always trying to lift his head from that reclined position and like you, I either get his legs caught on the straps or hit his head on the roof! LOL! Plus I have to lift him over another car seat (reclined is easier in the middle) - we actually have THREE car seats across the middle row in our car! I think V is just sick of looking at his brother and sister and wants to see what's going on. I turned DS1 at 3 months old (he was huge and pretty much sitting by himself anyway! And he was in a booster by 18 months cause he was just too squished in the baby seat!)
    Like everything, you will know what's best for Jazz I'm the same - can't wait til they're all facing forward! LOL!

    Anyways my lovelies, undoubtedly, I'll be back tomorrow ... can't believe I'll have all my kiddies home ALL THE TIME after tomorrow! But it's all good, they can help me pack! Slave labour! LOL!

    Hey everyone
    bit late for personals I'll do them tomorrow. I have heard that it's best to keep them facing rear ways as long as possible as this is safer for them. I Know what you mean about pulling them in and out of the car i was wishing today that she could get out by herself
