hey everyone!

Fee - that is so strange - Charlie is doing the same thing for now reason - last night it was 10.30pm, 1am and 2.30am - he did it on christmas eve also - he didn't do it christmas night but I attribute that to the couple of glasses of champagne I had! I can't work it out either - someone told me that is a sign that they are ready for solids - but I had to take him off the farex for a while because he got all blocked up and would wake up crying and just wanted to be rocked and patted back to sleep because his tummy hurt - so I am going to try the farex again today but really really runny.

Kelly - how did you go at the sales? I got three doona covers for $100!!! we went to target to look at the high chair that was 50% off but the pattern on it was hideous - I couldn't bear it. So we bought a mothers choice layback one - sounds like I will need to line up the lemon, salt and tequila for Charlie or something! it's not exactly what I wanted but it will be fine

Charlie has been saying his first words (did I already tell you guys this?) - I thought it was a fluke at first but now when he's tired or upset he says... 'mum mum mum' - so sweet - except he did say it to the fridge - but still he said Mum first!

Christmas was hectic - but great - he got so spoilt - lots of toys for when he's a bit older which is good - I can put them away and spring them out in the middle of the year - we got him a jolly jumper and thank god he *loves* it! spins around and bounces and squeals - it's great.

anyway gotta dash he just woke up and I want to get a walk in before it rains - will be back soon - hope everyone is well and happy

looking forward to hearing, from Dee, Bubs, Baiza, Cassie, Mads and Cyn and anyone else I have missed out!

so sick of sliced ham..........

Em!
