I'm a QLD girl.. where abouts would you be moving too?

**Trish** · June 1st, 2008, 09:51 AM

Lauren, maybe you just need to get the guy drunk and jump aboard

Ohh that's a big move for you too. Love the belly cast, is that you one ?

Nic, I tried Abbey on sweet corn and chicken lastnight. She gagged so bad she made herself spew. Maybe you could try mixing a little farex in with the vegies. That's what I'm going to do next time. Don't want her only eating sweet stuff. Although it makes perfect sense as BM is very sweet too.

And looky, I didn't miss the start of this thread.

DP has the *****s this morning. And you know what, I can't even be buggared asking him what's up. I don't care. LOL. I have showered and dressed. Abbey is bathed and dressed and she's having a feed and then I am off for a couple of hours. Hopefully when I get home he's gone out for a while with the kids so I can have a nana nap. HEHE. He's in the lounge room folding washing as I type. Prob why he has the craps actually. Oh well, he wears them too.

hey, can't believe how fast this has gone already & I yet I'm impressed I found it so fast.

I don't know much about the baby-led weaning, but someone in our mothers' group is doing it. I think it also is built on the idea that in the old days of starting food way early, they would have been up to finger foods by now anyhow. Can do vegies as well as fruit, you just need to steam them I think - cut into fingers.
I'm doing more the traditional route, but hearing about it has made me more relaxed to let Ella taste things I'm eating. Will be making her some rusks after she loved my crusts (can't give her commercial ones b/c they have milk in them & we think she may have a milk protein intolerance).

Thanks for the ref on the Cuski! I'm about to check it out. We could use some improvement in any kind of sleeping here.

So jealous of that lovely long sleep some people are getting. Have a lovely day Trish, hope you feel better after the day out. Know what you mean about the foggy head. Just saying to dh I could do anything if I could just have 1 night's sleep. My ultimate fantasy is a whole week. he he he. Maybe when she's a teenager. Oh, yeh, then I'll be up worrying about her all night, won't I???

And man, I still can't believe anyone is TTC. That's one of my reasons for not wanting to dtd...
