V - Autie's on formula. I did a few calculations and I think it works out roughly the same price as cow's milk anyway. Plus I find it easier to travel with the powder - don't have to worry about refrigeration and I can keep a bottle ready to make up beside my bed in case I have to resort to a bottle at night. Since starting the bottle she hasn't asked for a BF much at all. She has a bottle before each nap and at bedtime and I offer the BF in the morning more for comfort and cuddles than anything. Then during the day she only has it if she asks for it. I don't think I have a lot left in me anyway so whatever she has is only snack size LOL
It's good that Avaleigh likes her fruit. I've been very slack on the fruit front as Autie is so inconsistent with whether she'll eat it and I got sick of all this fruit going to waste. I've tried her on purees too but it's the same with those, and too expensive to buy and only have one spoonful. At least she's good with vegies I guess. She is pretty much eating everything we eat unless it's too spicy or sugary which is handy.

And YEY! She took her first steps tonight right before bed. I know she's been capable for a while and just wasn't interested in giving it a go, but tonight she was walking back and forth between Dan and I, all proud and excited. Can't wait to practise with her again tomorrow now that she's suddenly up for it.

Well I've had a busy day baking for tomorrow. She is having mini cupcakes with pink icing, pink glitter and pink and white butterflies on top for her cake so I made about 40 of those (so cute), a slice and banana bread. In the process, I smashed the glass lid of the coffee bottle on the tiles and OMG I don't think there was an inch of the kitchen/dining area that glass didn't find. Then I was paranoid about slivers getting in Autie's hands and feet so spent ages doing an extra careful vacuum along every wall and all corners - don't think my floor's ever been so clean! LOL

Well I am just rambling and sorry it's all been about me but where the smurf is everyone else these days anyway?! I wouldn't have to talk about us so much if someone else was putting in their two cents...
