Oh Fi - Hugs to you, it does get better, I remember my first melt down and somedays it still happens but it is enjoyable, especially when the day comes and Hamish is actually starting to interact with Jenna, that`s just beautiful to see.

Happy Birthday Jack for yesterday, sounds like he had a great time. Jack sounds like Matthew with all his toys, far too many, I have 4 big plastic bozes filled up with his toys plus more scattered around.

Sarah - I`m not sure what we`re getting Matthew for his birthday, got another 2.5 months to decide, oh I do have a magna doodle away for him, I was going to give it to him when I was having Adrian but I forgot all about it. Woohoo for Zander`s blinds arriving.

Tanya - Great photo of Emily.

Adrian started solids on Thursday, I wondered what Matthew would do as he`s forever wanting to feed Adrian his food over the last 6 months anyway so it came to mixing the food up, here I am telling Matthew it`s Adrian`s special baby food so Matthew decided he better try it out first, after 4 attempts all which ended up with Matthew shuddering at the taste he decided Adrian can have it LOL

Matthew came down with a high temp on Saturday, not sure what it was all about, he`s fine now.

Going to make up some new playdough this afternoon, I made a batch 5 months ago and it was still good until yesterday, I think it`s the longest lasting playdough I know, Matthew loves playing with it.

Had a rough night last night, yet again, I wish this 6 month phase would be over, Adrian decided that between 1.30am and 5pm he`d get up 4 times, this doesn`t include his earlier wake up.
