Sally - if Brendan is anything like Monkey, he'll soon be standing and cruising - she has just done it all in a couple of weeks - crazy!

But we are also no where near the very clever Claudia and Liebling with standing and stepping on own. Though funny story the other day - Monkey was standing at her little FP table (an old one and fairly lightweight) and started to push it and step forward along our rug; it seemed to have just enough friction for her not to fall!!! It was like she was telling me look Mummy, why didn't you get out the pushalong walker earlier!!! Needless to say the FP ride and stride is out! If you are looking for a pushalong toy, I think these are great, as they become a bike too.

All this talk about teeth - Lisa where are you? - Harrison and Monkey I think were the only 2 in the gummy-bear club.... I think Kel, you might have once joked about them getting teeth 2 at a time to catch up - I have heard this is pretty much what happens..... apparently if you get them late they all come together.... not sure if this is a good thing or if we may need to warn the neighbours!!!

Kinda funny how a few of the bubs have weaned their lunch feed at the same time.... I know Monkey was mainly because I needed her too, but if I had have been really taking notice, we probably could have stopped it anyway - you are such a good mum, Kel - you always seem so tuned to Jemima - I wish I could read Monkey the same way.....

I am enjoying being back in my t-shirts in the day; now just need to get into some new sexy bras..... aahhhhh one day..... (Actually, I am such a BF tragic, that I just know that even the reward of sexy bras won't stop me being sad when we finally stop....)

Cate - am glad it wasn't the chicken pox.

Jayne - bummer about Alan leaving early - I shuddered at the mention of weeding.... I HATE gardening! The irony of this is that we have a rather large yard that is quite high maintenance - YUCK!!!

I think that's all for tonight.
