    Wow girls- those fees are crazy!! I can see why some people decide its just not worth going back to work! I will probably consider it maybe when S gets older for the whole socialization thing, but hey there is always the very cheap playgroups for that too!!

    LoL- i thought the TellieTubbies had been taken off air!! But no- i will admit- I have resorted to letting S watch them!! After i have fed him his breakfast, he is happy to stay in his pram (our make shift high chair!!) and watch them while i eat my breakfast!! lol Sadly we are a huge TV household (all my fault!!) so its always on- but since S has started becoming much more aware of it i have been trying to keep it on ABC kids!! He likes the show with the garden tools too!! But his all time favourite is the Simpsons!! Oh and lately he has been loving the subway ad where they sing the song "I feel good!!" lol he stops whatever he is doing and listens, and i sing along and he giggles and loves it!!

    Still no darn teeth here yet, but things have settled down a bit here at nights, and he is sleeping a bit more through the night- last night i was soooo full when he did wake up coz he had slept so long!! I hope he keeps that up!! I am still bringing him into bed when he wakes, but i keep meaning to try and feed him and return him to his cot- but it never happens! Ohh speaking of cots- how is Beth liking hers?? And i was wondering- as i feed S to sleep and he gets nice and cosyin my arms, when i go to put him in his cot- its always rather cold in there, do you guys think a hot water bottle would help- like if i lay it where i am going to put DS and then take it away when i put him in there would that work or would he then get too cold again? I guess i will just give it a go!

    He has gotten on all fours a few times now!! Yesterday he got a bit excited and lifted both his hands up at the same time and di a full face dive!! Lucky he thought it was funny!!!

    Well i am excited, i am off for a trip back north not this weekend but next! I am driving to Melbourne and catching up with some girls i met here on BB then flying up to visit mum and a few other friends aswell.. For the caboulture girls, i have been invited to your meetup at Gloria Jeans- its the day before i fly back home again- looking forward to meeting some new faces!!

    Well S is sleeping, so i better do some house work!! Hmmm, might check fbook before i do though!! lol

    Hope everyone has a great day!!

    OMG my head is swimming with all those CC fees! I'm lucky my stepmum is dying to look after Beth so we won't need it yet. Not sure how it's all going to work but we will see as we get closer to the time.
    Teletubbies scare me too, but Beth is transfixed by them, and sometimes mummy just needs five minutes! SB I'm glad I'm not the only one who is raising a TV junkie.... I tend to have it on a lot during the day too, but like you I've started putting it on kids shows because the trash that I like isn't really that suitable for the under 1's! LOL
    SB she seems to like the cot, slept right through the first night, woke up once last night had a feed, she was awake when I put her in there, she lay there awake, and rolling over to get comfortable for half an hour or so then she dropped off! She can move around a lot more and seems a lot more comfortable. The Bear seems to like it too - he has been going in to watch her sleep quite a lot!
    MM you're so good being creative... i wish I could find time for it but at the moment I feel really stretched... Beth has a couple of sleeps during the day, usually only 30mins to 1 hour though, and that's when I need to shower and clean up, or else we're in the car or walking. And she doesn't go to bed till 9pm by which time I'm completely stuffed! Although I made marmalade last week.... does that count?
    hmm I have rambled a bit haven't i? Better run got to send the email about my avatar! lots of and to Vic, Squiddy, Kel, Mel, and everyone else I missed!

    pixie - of course making marmalade counts as creative!! Veygas usually has 1-2 hours sleep twice a day and is in bed usually by 6.30pm ...

    I confess to the tv babysitter too! Although veygas prefers to be held or carried around. Khaemon loves watching tv and we have a few kids channels on foxtel (although atm he calls them all "junior" as in nick jr, so when he asks for "junior", we have a few channels to go through! ) Funny thing is, if he is outside playing and we change the channel, he'll come running in screaming junior - the kid has channel-dar!!

    well I am half way through making a night nappy - just taking a break to feed veygie and put him to bed!

    YAY for the meet up!!! I went to the last one missed todays They're fantastic!

    MM- Talk about money grabbing!!!!! HAHA yay for mummies boy make the most of the cuddles PMSL channeldar!!!!!

    Vic- you're welcome they do make it really hard to understand. goodluck with your CC decision.

    Mel- LOL I was really tired when i was reading your post and trying work it out

    SB- LOL at the subway ad. If it's a cool night I put Allegra in thin winter PJ's so she's a bit warmer i sometimes forget that babies feel the cold a lot more then what we do.

    Pixie- ooOOOoo can't wait to see your avatar I have a little TV junkie I can't remember the show that makes her smile. I had Tom and Jerry on one day and I swear Cadence was going to wet her pants laughing! none of the new shows make her laugh like that

    Does anyone elses baby crack up laughing when they're scared? Cadence will hide at the end of the couch, jump up scream boo and Allegra will jump through the roof and crack up laughing you'd think the poor thing would cry but no she finds it hilarious!
