Pixie - Yeah I cook the carrot first. Cook it so it is soft but still holds form. If I don't cook it enough he ends up biting off pieces that are a bit big and then spends the whole meal gagging it back up and trying again!! The smearing is half the fun of food!!

Kel - That look you are talking about will break my heart when I eventually go back to work too. I hate leaving him in the gym creche for an hour!! I am gonna miss my daily doses of smiles!

Mel - Awww! Junior kindy....no longer a toddler? Why do they have to grow up so quick?

Sasha - Wow! 10kgs, that is too hard for me to imagine. Jett is only just over 6kgs!!

Squidipa - Poo about the pooter. That is so frustrating!

ETA: Beema - Wow!! Hot here too, has just peaked (in my local area) at 42.4, at 5.00pm!! Stoopid weather... am thinking I will hang out in a shopping centre tomorrow!! I need to get Jett out of the house, but it needs to be cool.

I think Jett can recognise his name now.... I called it out today and he stopped grizzling, looked at me and waved his arms and legs about very excitedly. I said it a few more times, added a few other phrases and words and each time I said "Jett" he would pause and wave his arms and legs about. Maybe?

ETAA: Ooh and since writing my post, Jett has just sat on his own for the first time. I haven't practiced it much with him cos he always prefers to stand. We had a little go yesterday with very limited success, so I thought I would give him another go just now and he did it straight away. Even had the fine tuning movements happening and was able to reach out and play with a toy!! I'm such a proud Mummy right now, cos it looks like he just figured it out on his own last night before going to sleep!!! I can just see him nows while playing with his fingers thinking to himself "Next time I'll try putting my hands out in front of me and if I wiggle my butt a little bit I just might be able to stay upright.....yeah I'll give that a go next time...."
