HEY !!
Back for a few mins.. I'm in the boss's office at work and it's nice and cool and private in here, so it looks like I'm working!

KIM - funny you should mention the copy and paste idea. Thats actually one of my methods, spesh on the long posts. But that particular one, like this one, I'm using a separate window to type and switch between the two. The other method I use is to read thru all the posts, write my answers and come and type it all in one go. Unfortunately, it was just not my day With the whole ppo at the dr and mil thing - it did ever happen to her? I agree - re/ the wind & burping. I don't burp Jensen. He either does it on his own, or he complains and I help him out to bring it up. Sorry to hear about your arguements I work mondays and thursdays (or wednesdays the alternating week) with mothers group on the tuesday, but if you'd like I can come out and visit you with Jensen and Lea and Nixon. Is there a park near you, so you don't need the car?

RHI - OMG about your mil! Maybe invite her along next time (probably not your first thought), for some company and so she can see how other mothers are going too. Well done with the first surf! I can't wait to take Jensen to the beach. In March we're going to go to Straddie, to celebrate our first wedding anniversary. Jens will be 7mths and hopefully a little more mobile. I want to get Jensen christened, but dh isn't that kind of person. Am thinking a naming ceremony - anything to show my bub off!!

BECCA- Jensen has a bath seat. We never ever leave him alone in the bath - I'm far too paranoid that something will happen. I'm a very panicked parent! But each to their own.

SARA - Well done with the ebay books! I buy Jensen nappies and clothes from there (and garage sales - so invaluable to a parent with no money!) I'd love to take Jensen into work with me, but a shipping container yard full of trucks, forklifts and truckies is soo not the place for a 4mth old. He's too needy, so I've asked if I can do some work from home. I think I'm going to get my way!

ALI - Oh you poor thing! Know that we are here for you if you ever need to chat.

SONIA - Pressies! i can't wait. But we're totally flat broke here now coz of DH's surgery. I've been saying that I really don't want any pressents, just for Jensen. I'll be happy if he's happy. I hear you on the parents with prams car parks. However, at our local shopping centres, any tom **** and harry park there. Gives me the *****s. Lol at holding her own bottle. Apparently Jensen does it too (he gets fed bottles when I'm at work). He always seems to be out there, doing things I didn't expect. But what I think may be advanced, probably isn't. I was asked at the health nurse if he's passing things from hand to hand. He is, but he isn't. He grabs on with one hand, slowly moves to the next, grabs it (so he's holding both at the same time) and then lets the first hand go. All the while watching himself do it like its some kind of magic trick. Cute. Pff and the dr reckons he's going to talk soon too. yeah right.

Well done to those bubs who are rolling! Jensen can roll from f-b and b-f, but has only done so a few times. still, he swivels around on the floor. Jensen had his needles on Tuesday and has been totally out of sorts. He has a different cry, like he's in pain. At first I thought that it was a reaction to the needles. But he wasn't like that 2 mths ago. Things change tho. MIL (who looks after him when I'm at work) noticed a few bumps on his gums. We think that he's cutting his teeth. OMG this is way too early. The health nurse said "oh they don't start teething til 6mths" - but what do they say to those mothers whose babies are born with teeth? We had santa photos taken.. it's a great shot of santa. pfft. So, we're getting them re-taken. They were done at harvey norman, so santa is only there saturday and sunday. Better be good ones this time.

I better go and actually get some work done...
I'll be back in later - going to dinner tonight!!

See u all soon

Rhianon and Jensen
