Whoa.... I think I've been reading since page 3 of this thread (skimming some of it...)!!!

Yes, I have been gone a while, thanks for thinking of me Tash, and thanks Cate for letting everyone know I'd been away.... not many excuses for this week, other than the fact that the devil has possessed my child and we've had a shocking and exhausting week......

She's not sick, though she does have conjunctivitis which I sat on for a couple of days, but got a/b's for today, so we dont know what's going on, but she is fighting sleep at every possible occasion, but is tired, screaming etc.... you all know the drill!

On a brighter note, Cairns was wonderful! Just a pity I had to come back to reality.... maybe that's whats wrong with Monkey too.... she just wants to go back to live the tropical life!

And a very belated welcome to Brendan's Mum!

Not much energy to write much tonight, but HUGE congrats to you Catherine on the job!!!

I'm sure you're all over this milestone update, but I'll do Monkey's rundown soon; the only really exciting thing she does is talking (mama, baba, dada, bye bye and various other ramblings that I wish I understood) but not as much as Harrison!

Love to all

KYM _ Welcome back to the land of the living! LOL. I hope Monkey sorts herself out very soon for you. Sorry to hear about the conjunctivitis, it's going around in droves it seems. I hope it clears up for her soon. My dr told me as well as the eye drops to wipe milk in their eyes, just cows milk if your'e not breastfeeding is fine too. I did that with mine & it seemed to really help.

SMYLIE _ I had the same issue with Claudia & her love of yoghurt. I should have explained, but what I do with sandwiches is cut off all the crusts, use a rolling pin to flatten the bread a little, add the marg & vegemite & then roll it up & give it to her that way. It saves lots of mess & then she eats the whole thing. Maybe it's worth a try? Good luck!

ME_ My parents are coming to visit us today, so that's good. I'm still not ready to take Jessica out in case she is not over all her germs. I took them for a little walk in the pram though yesterday. Jessica laid in the back of the pram & Claudia sat in the toddler seat again. She thinks that's AWESOME!

Love Jayne
