Hey everyone,

AMM - that is awesome that you going to try and re-lactate! I really admire that. Best of luck with it. Keep us updated!

Nicky - Oliver is a great eater too. I am hoping he stays that way as his older brother is a fantastic eater. I can just imagine my grocery bill in years to come though!

I have just uploaded some new pics into the gallery if anyone wants to check out my little man. Took me ages to do as I thought I could only upload one at a time.....blond moment. So there is not many there but I will do some more another day.

Hope you are all having a wonderful Monday.

Raels and Oliver xo

He's very cute Raels. I think I see a bit of mischief in those eyes...lol

Raels - Oliver looks adorable and Lexxen is a very good looking boy as well!

I am off to the Kelly Clarkson concert tonight

Raels - your boys are both gorgeous. I think I've said it before, but I'll say it again, you're going to have lots of girls around your house I think. Oliver is starting to look like a real little boy.

AMM - good luck with the re-lactating, I really hope it works for you.

Nicky - bummer about the sleeping patterns, I find anything more than 2 wakes per night is exhausting, let alone an extended run of 4+ wakes per night. But it's great that he's eating everything you put in front of him, with luck you'll soon be able to just feed him what you & Adam are having.

Jem - I hope you enjoyed the concert. And YUM for the crayfish!

Mel - Happy 8 months to Jack. ALthough it only seems like yesterday when I was saying happy 7 months, this parenting stuff just goes too quickly.

Everyone's bubs seem to be doing really well, lots of words & movements which is really good. We're finally over the gastro stuff. Liam has been back to himself more or less since Friday, barring some ginormous poos, but I had a bout of vomitting on Thursday, then Pat had it really badly on Friday, so we're really only just feeling back to normal as a family unit. It was gross - one of the worst gastros I've ever had, so hopefully nobody on here gets it (although Jess, I think you said that you already had, so hope you're okay, it's not like you needed that on top of everything else). It's been a bit of a pain though, because it put a temporary stop on the whole solid thing - Liam STILL isn't particularly taken by normal food, although I did get him to swallow some banana yesterday, but today he wouldn't have a bar of it. Thank goodness I don't mind BF, although sometimes I think it would be nice to have a bit of a break, like 4 hours or so. Other than that, not much news for us, except for it's our 3 year anniversary on Wednesday, so I'm going to cook up a tasty dinner I think as a bit of a celebration, cos there's certainly no going out for dinner these days
