Hi everyone!

Kel - Bella's been clapping for a while now, and we just go "Yay Isabella!" while clapping. She soon gets excited and starts clapping too - but NEVER when I want to show my friend how clever she is! lol Babies are great aren't they?? I can't believe how many teeth Jem has now! We still have NONE!

Ryn - Maybe you should get Pubert checked to see if he really is becoming a vampire?? Is there a test for that? lol

Tash - Bella went through a not eating phase too. She gradually started eating again and is now a little piggy so take heart, it will get better!

Catherine - Yep, I'm dreading when crawling starts, because I have a feeling Bella's going to be one of those kids that gets into EVERYTHING! How's she sleeping these days?

Lisa - It's really sad that they don't have enough compassion to see how devastating it is to lose a baby, let alone be left in a waiting room for hours on end. I'm sure if anyone working there had suffered a miscarriage in the past, it would be a completely different story as they would know how horrible it is. Bad, ignorant people....

Us - Bella is going through a growth spurt I think. She's all of a sudden drinking her entire bottle and is well and truly enjoying real food too. As for crawling, well she's starting to go from sitting to leaning right over forward, then onto her tummy. Not putting much weight on her arms yet, so I still think we have a while to go.

I read in my baby book thing the other day that we can start offering solids before FF/BM now, rather than afterwards from around 8 months. Problem is, Bella cracks because she wants her bottle NOW! We'll get there soon I'm sure!

Someone's just done a stinky poo in their nappy so better go. We also have a pergola to mend after the hail storm the other day!

Enjoy the rest of the weekend everyone!
