    LOL - that's cute Nic. I haven't given Kayla a heaps shallow bath for her to just splash around in. That might save my back! I usually help her sit up in it.. and it comes up to her belly. It's shallow enough for her to play on her tummy, but too deep to let go of her, if that makes sense. She'd dip her head in too easily at that depth.

    Olivia stuck her head in the first time I let go of her and spluttered and carried on.. I felt so bad.. but no she rolls over before I have let go of her completely and even puts her face really close to the water but doesn't stick her head in anymore

    I sat Olivia in the bath the other day but I stuck an old cloth nappy under her.. it worked for a bi but I didn't move my hands away from her,,

    Hi all,
    Wow that's so cute Nic I still hold Ty like a newborn when I bath him, I've got one of those bath seath thingys but i'm too scared to use it!

    Michelle- Welcome back. Glad the pnd is going ok. You poor thing with bubs being sick, there is nothing worse.

    Morgan- Thanks for that, I'm off doing groceries today so I'll have to check out Big W.

    Lauren- Good on you with TAFE, I've been thinking about going back next year to finish off my social work studies (I did half a degree at uni and I'm now paying HECS for a bit of paper I don't even have!)

    Hmmm... I'm off to a lingerie party tonight. I really can't afford any lingerie and God knows when I would actually use it. But it's my best friend hosting so I have to go. And dh can't babysit (no milk to leave with him anyway, only enough for work tomorrow) so Ty is coming too. What a pain in the butt, right on bath time and bed time at 6pm. Much as I love my bestie, she has no kids and just doesn't get what a drama it is, especially when he's not 100 % well. On the upside, I'll actually be using the portacot for the first time. All you more experienced mums- what bedding should I take for the portacot? Do I need sheets and stuff or just a blankey and a sleeping bag?

    Nic - those videos are gorgeous, Vicky was laughing everytime Olivia moved. I'll have to try the shallow bath normally i just hop in too so Vicky can sit up and play with Alex
    Lori - Enjoy the lingerie party, hope Ty isnt too disrupted by it. Portacots - i use cot sheet with a blanket underneath for comfort and then whatever usual bedding they would have.
    Lauren - Good luck with TAFE...i've got to work out what i want to do by the end of this year and get myself enrolled in either TAFE/Uni that way i'll have my quals by the time Vicky starts school...just cant decide what to do
    Michelle - Good to hear from you and that the PND has improved. house of sick little one is no fun. Fingers foods basically vegies & fruit, bread and wheat is recommended around 8/9 months. Vicky will have carrot sticks, brocolli pieces, chicken bones, banana, rockmelon, avo. things like apple & potato i rough mash. HTH

    I am debating getting one of those bath seats too.. I always debate them then just when I think ok bugger it just go get one I don't need it anymore

    Enjoy the lingerie party.. I don't like going to peoples places when they don't have kids either.. or if they have older kids. they forget or don't know what its like to stay out late ect..

    I am dreading going out next week even though it is for Ethans birthday dinner as Olivia likes to be home lately and I don't want to muck up her sleep.. she was sleeping thru then we went to the Inlaws till about 9 and she has only just started sleeping better and its 2 weeks tomorrow.. so not keen to muck up her night routine too much

    Lauren: posted too late lol. That pic os GORGEOUS!! he looks like he is having fun.. Makes me wants to buy one today now

    hehe yeh there great idea, and its got a great rubber base with lots of suction things, unlike the plastic base with 2 or 3 sucky things so its nice and soft on his butt and non slippery. i used to bath a friends bubs with a plastic base and used to slide forward and squish his manhood.. poor little thing so i love the rubber grip on this one. and its a lifesavers ring. hehe so cute.

    Does anyone put there bubs to sleep and they just lie there laughing at you.. Ash has started do it big time and its sooo hard not to laugh back! cheeky money.
    Hes cracking himself up atm watching wiggles so funny. he LOVE dr. nickerbocker.. lol
