thanks for your welcome girls.

khm: yeah, Ally is exactly the same, she will 'flip' as soon as I lay her on her tummy and seems very proud of herself. The ticker photo looks like she can sit on her own - but she really can't... that was a bit of a fluke, most of the time she just lies there... she still can't hold her own weight...
Sorry to hear your not feeling well...Could you be feeling sick from the heat? Heat exhaustion can sometime make me feel like horrible?

Fee: what is Coopers first food going to be? Ally loves sweet potato and pumkin but hates potato and mashed bannana? The "first" spoonful is something you need to catch on camera, it is priceless. I can't wait to hear how it goes.

Well, I've just made Ally's food for the next few days. We get an organic box of fruit and vegies delivered for $30 and it is great value - there is over $50 worth of food in there! So I boiled sweet potato, pumkin, potato (she won't know it is in there) and zuccine and them baxmixed the lot. And them stewed some pears for breakfast (which she will have with rice cereal).. For lunch she eats 1/2 an avacardo (and today she then wanted stewed peaches)... She eats so much it is amazing???? I wanted to 'ease' her into eating, but she cries when she finished the portion I give her, so I've been giving her more...and she is the happiest I've seen her in ages! Not too sure what else to do for the lunch time feed? She has had advacardo for lunch every day for a week now (luckily I got 6)... does anyone else have food ideas for lunch?

Mads: hello - yes, I had Ally at RPA... so you must live close? I'm in Erskineville? where are you? Who was your midwife? I had Emily and Linsday - both English, they were so great. I started off at the Birth Center, but after 22 hours I transfered to drug central (thank God for modern technology)... Ally came another 16 hours later! RE: Starting Freya on solids, you are her Mum so you know best... the amount Ally eats indicated to me that I should have started her at 5 months too... I just had this date of New Years Day and I made a big thing of it, so I had to stick to that date...She went from being in the 75% for weight to the 50% to now the 20%, so I'm hoping that solids will bring her back up to average? I have to say however once you start the amount of cooking to do is amazing...
