Hey ladies,

PJ: So awesome Summer is almost crawling!! You go girl!! I am sure you've also been doing lots of swimming with all th heat we have had

Sterla: I am planning a party and in typical fashion we are ending up with 38adults and 10 children..yes you read well, between 40- 50 people for Sammy's 1st birthday...I know its a bit much, but what can you do!!We are having a sausauge & rissole BBQ with salad and cake, very simple but very much looking forward to it! I am glad Oli is not too bad with his teething, poor possums, you can just see that they are in a bit of pain sometimes. The 2 parties sound good for Oli, I am sure we'll have a mini celebration for Sam on the 9th as her party is on the 7th.

Dansta: Ohh, you must be so excited for your scan of Bundy!! I hope he/she behaves well for you and puts on a show!! Dj sounds like he is just cruising along and crawling like a champ!! Hope your DH's work craziness stops soon and that he gets to be home with you and DJ more and "fingers crossed" he doesn't have to work tomorrow.

Peach: yup Winter and Sammy sound like 2 peas in a pod. Sammy has also recently become obsessed with feeding herself and has taken to putting plates & bowls on her head! LOL So we wait til the bowl & plate are empty before we give them to Sam now...Haha she is quite happy to let me if my choice of meal is not to her liking, she has been pretty good though. I guess she is allowed to not feel like something I am giving her to eat, she just always seems to pick the times that most inopportune! Hope you are feeling better

As for us, well, things are still crazy busy, I am starting to wonder if it will ever end! LOL Thanks everyone for your food suggestions, I pretty much give the same but just trying to vary it more often now, I was getting lazy I think.
Update on my little princess, Sammy now has 11 teeth, including 2 molars and one more which is just about cut. so yes 12 teeth, but she has been pretty good, the molars have definately been the worse, I've been going through rusks like they are going out of business. I'd rather she chews on them than the couch or everything else she gets her hands on. Sammy has also starting taking a few steps!! YAY, over the last week, she has made up to 3 steps from one thing to another and has been doing some freestanding since early Jan, she is getting a lot better at it, but is also falling a lot more and has got quite a few bruises & nicks...nothing too serious but a couple good scare that I am now pretified of having her by the TV stand. She has also started to say more words now, she says duck, can do the fishy face when shown a fish, also says "gentle" LOL I guess we say that a lot, she's not the most dainty little girl I am afraid, but her vocab is expanding really quickly, she is also making the "st" sound when shown a star and is trying real hard to say her name too. As I mentioned to Sterla, we are having a HUGE birthday party for her so should be a bal. Not to much else to report I am afraid, we've had a very busy week-end as usual, so am going to go chill and watch my good ol' buddy tv.

Hope everyone has a great Australia Day!!
