    Jus - lol - yep, Kayla does her poos in succession too. We still go a few days between, but then it's a day of pooing! And mother of the year - sorry, that goes to me Kayla's always chomping on grubby toys and I pick her spoon & rusks off the floor and give em back. Her dummies have NEVER been sterilised, only ever swished under TAP water, even after being dropped out of the car on the road or something LOL. Gross. But hey.. my kids are soooo rarely sick I think it's safe to say it's done them good! hehehe.

    Homemade rusks - are they hard? I just don't want Kayla biting a big chunk of it off, which is why I quite like the bought ones. But yeah.. they do get wasted.

    Solids are going very slowly here. Now that I've slowed it down, she doesn't show much interest! She's still waking at night, but we're back to just feeding and going straight back to sleep, which I can handle

    hey liz, you make me feel so much better. ella hasn't been sick yet, so we can't be doing too much wrong. & yeah, if she's eating the toys on the floor, why can't she eat the spoon too! our gp only ever rinses the dummy under the tap when we've dropped it at the surgery. Plus I read an article about how you don't really need to sterilise, just clean thoroughly. lack of exposure to enough germies is even linked to diabetes, would you believe!!!

    the rusks aren't too hard, tho they are kind of rough. i though dd wouldn't like that but she didn't seem to mind. they do break if dropped. they go quite mushy when they suck on them, so in our case that's good, because I reckon ella might get more food down the throat that way (won't eat anything. had a tanty this morning cos i tried to feed her... i didn't expect tanties this early!!! can't wait til she's 2).

    good luck!

    Hmmm I may have to try this homemade rusk bizzo. Mother of the year, I'm applying too- rusks, spoons, toys, evryhting goes back in the mouth. Went to the pub for lunch the other day and had Ty sitting on my lap and he gummed the grotty outside pub table. Eewww.
    Ty had three- count 'em- sleeps yesterday, one for a whole hour and a half. And even went down for the last one without screaming. And he's asleep at the moment with no screaming. Yay!! But we had a shocker of a night last night, up every hour or so again. Doing the big step tonight of putting him in his own room. I cvan guarentee he'll end up in our bed again but it's one step in the right direction (I hope). I figure we can only try and if it doesn't work, then he can come back to our room.
    Off to mum's group today, yay! Hope you all had a good night's sleep I am planning on enjoying the sunshine today too, it's lovely here- bit cold but hey, I'll take what I can get
    ETA- Jus, our babies will be angels by the time they're two, remember? We get massive tanties here too. And there is actually a disease called Kawasaki Syndrome that bubs can get from not enough exposure to germs and too much exposure to anti- bac products (I only know this because Kelly Preston and John Travolta's baby has it- I saw it on Oprah )

    LOL at the pub table. Ick. I thought I was bad letting Tallon chomp on the shopping trolley handle when he was smaller LOL. Actually I didn't "let" him, was just impossible to stop, but I never bothered with those cover things you can get for the shopping trolley.

    Lori - hope putting Ty in his own room works. I've wondered the same thing, if I moved Kayla away from my bed if she'd sleep better.. but I just can't do it LOL. It's so easy to just reach over and pick her up for a feed without having to get out of bed. Perhaps I'll move her in a few months when it's warmer But even then it'll only be to a normal cot still in our room, eventually she'll move in with Tallon

    Ash is doing so well with the crawling, hes up on his knees and pushes forward with his legs but the hands arent moving with him lol
    Its so funny tho cos he pushes on his hands and and on his feet.. so his doing push ups only his hands and feet touching the ground!! very strong boy.. hehe

    Well nothing else intresting here, got his 6months check in 1/2 hour. cant wait to see the nurses face when she sees him over 10kg. - i saw a little boy walking in the shops, he looks like he just started cos he was a little wobbly, and Ash was bigger than him!

    Back from my apt. apparently i need to get my butt into gear with the solids. and stop giving him custard for breakfast..lol so ill start porridge and fig tomorrow
    His head was - if ppl know what im talking about with there books, 4 boxes off the last reading which was already over 2 boxes off the scale and she was a little consurned with that, as the head should slow down and the body grows, but as all his stats are really big she wasnt hugely consurned, but wanted me to mention it to my GP.

    Well the little man has carked it after his apt so im off to start dinner ... hope everyones having a good day...

    Hello all

    Thought I better pop in and say hello to everyone, been hetic here with my partner starting a new job and working away from home 2 weeks away and 1 week home, he just went back on wednesday morning While he was home he did more of our tiling so things are getting there hallway is nearly done and the lounge is over half done lots of fiddly stuff to do yet and then the grouting joy joy... I can't help much unless Olivia is asleep which isnt always the case.... Have to get as much as we can done before she starts moving around...Not that it will happen anytime soon (the moving part) she really makes no effort to roll onto her tummy and if I put her onto her tummy she will roll straight back onto her back...

    She is having solids every so often not a regualr thing by any means some days she will have none and others she will have a biscuit to chew on or some purreed veges or custard and some sorta fruit... She is now refusing to take a bottle even with EBM in so now when I will leave her with my mum if I want to go horse riding mum will have to find alternative ways to make her drink little fussy moooo she is lol...

    I have to most gorgeous photo here of olivia is I knew how to shrink it I would use it in my signature...

    Buzzie wow Ash is steaming along he is going to a solid boy.... Olivia wouldnt be 7kg yet...

    Rusks I havent given her one as yet and I really dont think she needs one... No signs of teeth..

    Olivia loves her jolly jumper the great thing is that it has been well used by my other children and also was lent to my SIL for her 2 so it has now done 5 children... and still looks like new... (Even had the hook in the ceiling still

    What else have I misseed probably heaps but I just cant keep up...

    Bye all for now
