I think it might be good to still use pads. Perhaps you could use something thinner for just in case? Perhaps get some fabric from nappyworks.com.au and make a few washable ones? Then they are soft, comfy and discreet.

I've tried Ellie on mashed, not pureed banana for brekky and avocado for lunch, she ate it up. Except she was getting sick of avocado so I mixed in chicken and sweetcorn from a jar. She loved it. I'm glad as she went off meats when she was 5 months old. So, little by little I'm giving her more meats and getting lumpier. Its odd how your bubs love lumps and mine hates them. Oh well.

I've only just got her to sleep a little while ago. She kept wriggling out of her safeTsleep and playing in the cot. I kept trying and trying to get her to sleep and wrapped her and she got out of it, twice, so I re-wrapped for the third time and just held her until she succumbed to sleep. Then she's strapped into the safeTsleep and now Terry can get some sleep. Thank god, as he has to get up in just over 6.5 hours for work.

Its amazing how much money we can spend just on groceries. Last month our average total expenses per day was $75. Can you believe it? It's been higher in previous months, but one was quite good. So we're budgeting a heck of a lot more.

Got things to do, making my own christmas cards this year, featuring a photo of Elouise which I have (well going to) edited to change the background. Will post it in gallery when I'm done. I think the one I'm doing is going to be a practice one and I'll probably either take a new photo or use a different one I already have.

I've found that the sposies just don't fit around Ellie's legs anymore. The stretchy tabs make the tabs overlap, and then the front piece just wriggles down the sides, iykwim. This doesn't happen when we use cloth, as the covers solve that problem. Oh well. We're finally getting around to doing her nappies in the wash, because of the rain lately. And we have no drier. We survive. There's no way Terry will let me get a drier and I feel I'd only use it more than I really need.

Must finish this editing. Need some chokky. Finally bought some today. Neeeed some chocky.
