First of all - Sarah - I am so sorry to hear your mom has cancer. What kind is it? I hope the chemo works. That must have been such a shock to find out. Sending you a big hug and wishing you and your family lots of strength.
Wow at Harrison weighing 9kg and Aiden weighing 10!! Wolf weighed 8.4kg at that age and I thought that was big, but Zara seems to be 7kg or so - she is so skinny! I was hoping she would chub up with some solids but nope - not a single fat roll on her legs. But then again she is just always moving and kicking and rolling around. She is so mobile already! I think once she can crawl she will just be in everything! She is so grabby and so fast at it too.
Zara is doing a lot better health wise, still coughing though but no fever anymore, thankfully. Thanks for all the well wishes!
Teena - I sent you an email - so we can plan our meeting in summer! Nadine? Maybe you can make it too? That would be so great! Yep, we will be in Manly. We gave our tenants notice on the 31st, so we have 3 weeks to get our floors resanded and re-oiled and the place cleaned and our stuff moved back in (currently in ILs' basemen). I am so excited about claiming our house back! I am soooooo looking fwd to going back to Sydney for the summer (and escape 3 months of winter here in Europe).
Narelle - how cool that Zara is getting her own zoo! Wolf just loves animals - I would love to be able to do that for him... I guess we will have to come and visit . Some lady had this "handbag" dog with her the other day at the playground and Wolf just sat there for ages patting it.
re ttc: we also want another one in 2008. But currently don't really want to think about it - first I want to lose that gut I still have.... I have started running again last week, so hopefully that will help shift the last 5kg!
Development - Zara has been sitting up for exactly 1 month now (4 August). She can reach things from there and sit back up - it's really amazing. Wolf would try that and get stuck on the floor (must have been his big head and gut weighing him down). She has fruit/cereal for morning tea and veggies for dinner. She loves eating rice cakes but I don't give her bread anymore since it seems it makes her vomit... little gluten intolerance there at the moment... but then again she is barely 6 months old, so I'm not too worried ... will try again in a few weeks and hopefully she won't spew anymore after eating gluten-products. Zara has no teeth and I don't think she will get any for a while. I weaned Zara fully and she is fully on formula now.
We had my mom, sister-in-law and Wolf's cousins over (boy 2 yrs older than Wolf and girl same age as Wolf) and that was a lot of fun. He adores his older cousin and played with him lots n lots. The girl-cousin is just trouble... Wolf and her are just fighting over everything all the time (mine - mine .. ) But she is very sweet with Zara ("baby!") and will give her cuddles and brings her the dummy. So sweet. Well, SIL is pregnant, so that bodes well
