hi girls, Im sorry I've been so busy with Coby Im finding it hard to keep up with posting.

Kate, re your idiot X, my goodness - has she/he heard of tact? Obviously THAT'S not in their vocabulary! Its a pity you can't drop them, oh well, just turn a deaf ear to it. Just about to go and check out your belly pics.....

Brooke, Coby is still small and he's the oldest in here I think, born on 12 June. He's only just in 00, still some 000 shirts. He's only 8.9kgs as of last week and that was fully clothed. Don't worry about Maya, she looks very happy and healthy to me!!

Deb WTG with the Danish course - nearly done now....Good on Al for doing his busy chores, we say that about Coby too, he's very busy doing important things....They're funny when they get all industrious aren't they!!

Vanita, so if you aren't giving Dion formula, what are you giving him? Is he still boobyfed?

I've been giving Coby bits of cows milk for ages now, well a couple of months anyway, but not strictly as a drink. His weight gains have been far too slow for me to stop giving him formula yet. There is absolutely nothing wrong with giving them cows milk and its safe to do so from 9 months onwards, with a weaning process of course. And also if there are no allergies present - but that goes without saying.

Are we supposed to be weaning them off the bottle are we? I have no idea, I thought they would self wean once they were ready to stop the bottles. Coby has sippy cup with water during the day, but not much of it, he's not keen on it really, but would much rather drink straight from a normal cup, but of course he can't do this himself, so he doesn't feel independent...

We've had a whingey day today, I suspect more teeth are coming and they are hurting, he's just such a whinger some days, it gets a bit much after a while.

Brooke - WTG Maya sleeping til 9am, what a champ! So you got a sleep in then??
