Issy - Lochie sounds gorgeous & a real little character!! Thanks for the info on RC. I heard the same thing about veggies before fruit.

Saffi - great news about getting a place at daycare. I hope your DH gets that time to spend with you - lovely idea. Thanks for the info on veggies for DS.

Megsmum - glad to hear your DD enjoyed her swimming lesson, they're so cute in the water.

Elle05 - sounds like your DD is coming along in leaps & bounds!! I'm glad you mentioned what your MCHN said about not doing things while they're learning new skills. Makes me feel better about DS - he was always trying to sit up & since starting crawling (or trying to) he's stopped.

Tippy - Eli sounds like a real active little boy

AFM - Poor DS is still getting up on his toes & hands, then bunny hopping. A few minutes of that really wears him out & he gets sooo frustrated!! Yesterday I left him on his back for a couple of minutes, when I came back into the room he had flipped onto his tummy & moved about a metre backwards
The last few nights he has slept from 11pmish to 7ish!! Unheard of in this house so am really glad we got him into the cot. Of course I'm still having trouble letting go & am often up & down overnight just checking on him even though I have a monitor!!
He had his first swimming lesson last week. Spent most of his time staring at all the other babies & smiling, along with splashing with his hands - so cute!!

Morning!

Well, we introduced M to RC on the weekend. A lot came oozing out and there was a little bit of gagging but generally she tolerated it. She is so interested in food. She was sitting on my lap while I was having dinner last night trying to grab handfuls of my risotto! Going to keep up with the RC for a week or so yet and then try pumpkin or sweet potato. Are any of the bubs up to three solid feeds a day yet?

Rach - how'd the sweet potato go? I think you can mix RC and BM into anything. Might be an idea to help introduce new foods if there is some accepted food in the mix.
Ellee - have a good holiday! Yay for Z doing so well!
Cheezel - great sleeps. M is still in her bassinet and I am certain now much of her waking is that she bumps her head. M's room still isn't painted (long story) so haven't moved her into her cot yet. Maybe I should just put her in the cot and deal with the decorating when that happens. How did you find his transition from bassinet to cot?
Issy - my DS is a good sleeper too... now. Mind you we are still up to him at least once a week but now its because he has fallen out of bed or he is busy watching the rain/storms from his window and making heaps of noise.
Hi to everyone else!
