Tiff - sorry to hear you got knocked down by the Gastro after it sweeping through your family, but glad to hear it was only there shortly. Poor little Ivy, wee tike has had a rough trot lately! Glad to hear that the other kids including Noah are doing ok though.

Jillian - I ended up sending 3 photos of Maddy in that competition (she's not a finalist in week 2 either...boo, crossing fingers for week 3). One was the photo of her when she was about 11 weeks old laughing hysterically with her eyes shut, another was one I took of her in the pram where she was staring me down with her big blue eyes; and the last one was a smiling belly shot in her pretty little blue summer top. I think they're all on either her photobucket site or the yahoo photos one. How's little Imogen doing? We should try and organise a Brissie meetup again soon.

Kate - will have to check out that music clip! *L* HAPPY 6th MONTH BIRTHDAY little Jasmine...what a brave little girl to do so well with her jabs today! Oh, and WTG on the 'Mummy' call. Doesn't it just make you melt?

Dani - sorry that you've had a rough trot with Jett since his injections! Hopefully the 'off colour' will end soon and he'll be back to his beautiful self. Sorry to hear that you've got to go back to work...are you going back fulltime or part-time?

Melly - {{{{hugs hon}}}} That's horrible about your beautiful little furball! I love the Alanis reference too...I can see the resemblence too! hehe

Christie - Wow, that First Aid course sounds awesome! Well done on going to it, I'm sure you feel much more in control of potential hazardous situations with Owen because of it! Thanks for the compliment on Maddy... Would love to have her do the Bonds ads! hehehe

Sarajo - We don't really have loose kangaroos here in Brisbane, being so central city; but if you drive a few hours out north-west, you get kangaroos and really they are a bit of a pest then. I remember a dancing parent who came from a country town here in Australia telling me how many friends she'd lost growing up after car collisions with kangaroos. Their affect on a car is not dissimiliar to deer in North America! Yay for your denist appointment not resulting in new fillings or worse!

Meg - I'm with Kate....I think you & Tilly need to take up some very noisy instruments. You know, violins and trumpets are very annoying when you're first learning them! hehe Oh and fantastic that Coco went well with the needles today; I'm sure you're relieved to have gotten them out of the way.

Well, it's after 10pm and Maddy is actually in bed. She went down for a nap without a fuss today at midday, so I'm not holding my breath that she will sleep until 5am. I'm hoping for at least til 3am anyway. Better head off to bed so I can get in a few hours before she wakes up!

Have a fantastic night ladies!

P.S - Hope I haven't forgotten anyone...my apologies if I have!
