SAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!

THAT IS FREAKING AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I actually had a little cry of happiness for you when I read it!!

OMG I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO happy for you and DH and Miles!!

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you've made my day!




very very cool!




OK - i've recovered now

JIllian - Happy 6 months to Immy!! and YAY for her rolling abilities and toothipegs! She's such a cutey.

Oh you know what I was thinking about the other day? How when I first came to BB and we were all newly preggas, Lochie was only 3 and now he's going to be 5!!! I can't beleive how fast time has flown!

I am constantly amazed by how fast the last 6 months have gone by.

Julie - I've only just checked out your strawbale house! VERY COOL!! My Dh has been dreaming of building a strawbale house for years! he's always looking for land in the country that we can afford and then we wants to build a weekender and lots of fruit trees - so that's the dream!
and How cute is Clarrie!!!!

Seriously - how lucky are we to all have such gorgeous babies!!!!

In Luxxe news - I think she's teething also. apart from the spectacular amounts of drool and sticking everything in her gob.... she's often obviously in pain as nothing with comfort her other than me lettin g her chew on my fingers.

I'm hoping that she'll have a tooth to show for her troubles soon. But then I thought about now she won't have her little gummy grin anymore and I got sad..... she's growing up too fast!

Everyday she seems to learn something new and is getting so much bigger more quickly now.

I swear - the other day she had a huge nap.... nearly 4 hours... and when she woke up she was bigger. She must have grown a cm and put on half a kilo

ok maybe not that much.... but she was definitely bigger and looked less baby faced and her voice was different too.


she can roll.... both ways... but doesn't do it very often.... which is fine with me... I always worry she's going to roll off something... paranoid.


her fine motor skills are totally blowing me away. my PIL bought her some blocks that have a pop up thing on the top and when you press it it makes another part of the block move.... so a month ago... she couldn't even pick the blocks up. they were too big.
and now she was pick them up stick them in her mouth, bash the pop up head and move the other bits....it's amazing!

she also has a ball that sheloves. I put it on her feet in the bassinette and she lifts her legs up to bring the ball to her hands so she can play with it.

but my favourite thing it that now she's laughing. actual proper giggling laughs and she's ticklish too!

she still has mittens on heaps because she tends to scratch her neck where she has eczema.... but I took her to the naturopath on Thursday and she gave us some homeopathy treatment ..... and I'm amazed how quickly it's worked.

I've tried every cream I could find and prescription from the paed etc.... but last sunday week she broke out in hives after I put some cream on... so that's when I decided to go to the naturopath.

it's only been3 days and already the rash is nearly gone. all she had was 2 of the little balls in 10ml of water and then she had to have 1 ml of the water. that's it.

the repeat dose is in a week or a fortnight depending on how the rash goes.

I totally reccomend finding a naturopath if anyone is thinking about it.


sleeping is going well still. about 3 naps a day and sleeping throughfrom about 8.30pm to 4.30am for a feed then back to sleep til about 6 or 7am.

but we're c0-sleeping so the 4am feed isn't a big deal.

oh.... speaking of which.... she's up from her nap now and we've got some playtime to have
