Missy: Great photo of the kids!! They all look fantastic!

Tasia: Is the marine animal section finished yet? It was under construction when we went in May.

Zee: I'll give that a go and ask next time....I should have mentioned it when we saw the CHN. Ashlea is getting the leap frog thing too.

Fri's appt went pretty well. The CHN asked if I had any concerns about J and I said "I know i will get a slap on the wrists but he's still having bottles" she said to throw the bottles in the bin and throw something sloppy on top so I wouldn't be tempted to get it out! I haven't given him a bottle since.....last night was hell! He screamed, sobbed, could hardly breathe cause of the crying for hours! He kept saying he was hungry too which made me feel so bad! He eventually fell alseep on me and I fell asleep too in his bed. Then he woke at 4am and did it all over again, he asked for some water, I gave it to him and again he eventually went to sleep....I hate hearing him cry like that! Other than that his checkup went well, she said at his age he should be able to say 50 words (i would have thought it would be a lot more) but he would say at least 500 or more I reckon, there is 23 ppl in chris's fam alone plus animals, numbers, colours, shapes etc.

CHN said that Ashlea's gains weren't great and would like to see her gain more than 100g (average) a week. I told her that she doesn't feed more than what I am offering and she is happy, content, alert and definitely not skinny...I'm happy with the way she is so if she gains more thats good but it will be because Ashlea wants to feed more not because I'm force feeding.

Anyway I better go to bed....fingers crossed Jayden sleeps through!!
