snowy - SOOOOOOO CUTE! Thank you for sharing that with us! I will have to look into uploading videos of Ben.. Might be good for the family back home. I envy you, I wish i could go back home, but i have to wait until next year, we really cant afford it just now, especially with Christmas a few weeks away. huge bummer about the floors , i hope it all turns out ok for you!

Went to toys-R-Us last night. they have a sale on, buy 3, pay for 2 for certain brands (fisher price, Chicco)... So we got some great stuff for ben. In-laws asked what to get Ben, so i said a bobby car would be ok, they gave me the money to get it for them last night, I'm happy, we found a fantastic one that he can use from now (well, christmas anyway). also got a few other things, and BIL bought Ben a high chair, which was nice of him. We had one, but i hated it, it was given to us, but is very old and horrible and i refused to sit ben in it. ANYWAY, i had fun playing with all the toys.

Teena - i will think about that book question, i have quite a few parenting books (well, baby books), which all come in handy. Do you mean a parenting book for younger babies, or older children/teenagers?

Ben is still gong well. He is growing soooo fast! im still trying to get him to say "mama", but he loves making "p" and "ffff" sounds, and i havent heard him make the "mmm" sounds yet. what sounds are your babies making, do they have a favourite sound that they make?

ben still isnt sitting up properly by himself. which, to me, is strange. He crawls (well, commando mostley), but doesnt seem to be interested in sitting. the physio said not to worry about it, or force him to sit, he will do it himself when he is ready. hmmm.

Take care everyone
