Hi ladies!

It took me a while to figure out your new name Orange/Luckystar!

I've had the biting of the bbs too. I'm a bit to scared to say "NO!" too sternly because I did that with Ben when he was 11.5 months old and he then refused the breast for a week, I gave him EBM but he never wanted bbs again Of course, I might have been a bit louder then since he had a LOT of teeth by that stage and it brought me to tears because it hurt so much. The problem is that now I say 'No biting!" to Jared and he just laughs at me! Little bugger!

Solids are going okay here. Jared isn't terribly fussed either way. He'll have them sometimes and not at others, but that's fine with me. He still bfs like a champ so I'm not worried. He's such a mummy's boy though. I filled in at indoor netball this week, fed him before I went, was gone only an hour and a half and still came back to an upset and starving bubba. He hates it when I'm not around. It's so exhausting! He even has days where he won't go to anybody else, even DH! Drives me batty since, carrying him around is so tiring. It won't last forever though, and it is a bit nice sometimes that he loves his mummy so much!

We are starting swimming lessons on Thursday, I can't wait! Jared and Ben are in the same class, so DH and I will both be going. It should be a lot of fun.

AJC, if you are still around... were you in the lastest issue of Essence? I read a story that sounded a lot like yours
