Bec, good luck with the photos, we recently had Pixi Photos done (which I was very reserved about) and they turned out GREAT!! Hope yours do too!!

Kate, sounds like Rylee is going great guns. Good on you for telling x to not "pass the parcel". Don't you just wish sometimes you could just be brutal and tell them where to go!!

Not much to report on us, Coby is going well, cold is all but gone, Im thinking it might have been his teeth actually. His gums up the back are quite swollen but of course he won't let me feel them. He still only has the 6 teeth at the front, so he's well and truly due for more of them. I wonder why they're taking so long to come through? Seems like he's been trying to get these ones through even before the front ones errupted.

Im on my own this weekend, until Wednesday. Matt has gone to Melbourne for a bucks weekend for the Melbourne Cup. It should be a good weekend for him. I hope he enjoys himself (Im sure he will). I just hope Coby's not too much of a handful for me these next few days....

MIL had Coby yesterday again, and I have come home to my house putrid again and Super Coby has cuts and bruises all over him. She just isn't careful with him - she lets him get into situations where he can hurt himself, in fact, she places him in them. AARRGHHHH! She took him to my BIL's yesterday "because they wanted to see him" I felt like saying "well tell them to come over here, he's a baby surely they can travel to see him" but of course I didn't. So anyway, they have a golden retriever and she's full grown but only a pup, she's like 6 or 7 months old, so as you can imagine, VERY silly. Last time we were there, she knocked him over. Not her fault, she just doesn't understand. So the stupid biatch (MIL) takes him there again and of course the dog is just all over him, then the dog knocks him over again, straight backwards and he hits his head on something and he is screaming blue murder of course. He also smacked his chin on something, because she was being rough with him, he only had 20 mins sleep in the morning, and then when he was having a big sleep in the afternoon, she sent DH's uncle (who is over from NZ) in to "have a look at him" and of course he got woken up. AARRRGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH! She just doesn't put Coby's needs first and that's what frustrates me. I basically asked her to stay at home with Coby yesterday because he was sick with this cold and I wanted him to recuperate, and of course she didn't listen to me, she had to take him out, she just cannot stay at home, she has to be doing something. Usually its shopping though....

I have just never seen Coby with so many injuries in one day. I was just so hurt and upset for him when I got home....

My mum is getting better (she broke her arm and therefore couldn't have him) so hopefully she can have him again next week. I tell you, he would be better off in day care, (not that I would ever put him in day care) at least he would be supervised!

Sorry for the rant, just needed to get it off my chest. Do you think Im being overly protective and silly?
