Hi All

Oh Sarah, poor Bayleigh! He must be a tough little cookie. Maybe he is just getting you prepared now for all those years of little boy scrapes and bruises!
We are probably not a great comparison foodwise either as Autie is quite small. She will normally have: breakfast - 1/2 to 3/4 avocado,1/3 banana, maybe 1/4 piece of toast with vegemite...lunch - about 1/2 cup of bolognaise/casserole/risotto, few pieces of banana or 1/2 piece of bread sandwich with hommus/vegemite/avocado/melted cheese...dinner - tonight was fairly big - 1/2 large chicken thigh fillet steamed, couple of steamed potato pieces, a steamed baby carrot, little pile of grated cheese and apple, 1/3 banana. Sometimes I give her morning or afternoon tea (not always,depends on sleeps and timing etc.) That would be grated apple, sultanas, banana, mini rice cake or oatmeal biscuit or vegemite/vegetable rusk. She only drinks water (about 1 1/2 cups a day) and milk (about 500ml). HTH

Em, glad the party went well. How cute that Tom loved the birthday song - Autie didn't at all, except for the hooray at the end, then she clapped.

Jess, how's Ethan's rash? And how are you feeling?

LOL Ami, don't some ads just give you the heebies? There was one I actually used to switch channels to avoid but I can't remember what it was now. Crap memory. The RSL sounds like a smart move to me. We had our party in a park and came home to a nice, clean house of peace and quiet when Autie had had enough. Brilliant.

Megan, that's good news Lucas is feeling better. What a bummer he was poorly for his party I hear you on the noisy kids - learnt my lesson at Autie's baptism party, hence the birthday party in the park! Does whizzfizz still come with a lolly tongue-depressor type thing to eat it? I remember making my tongue bleed with all the dipping and sucking! LOL Dan is also a Hawks supporter because Michael Osborne is his cousin - I have to admit, I prefer rugby. Though those AFL boys sure do have good bods...

Jan, Hooray Liam! Autie has a straw cup and her thing is to take on every offer but squirt it back out down her shirt if she didn't actually want any The mango sounds good, does it have preservatives? I'm on the lookout for dried fruit without the nasties but I haven't had much luck.

Well, Autie has started getting up on her own and walking off though there's still a lot of balance work to go. She sleeping like absolute **** so I'm constantly saying to Dan 'Actually, it could be ____ (insert any possible cause)' It better be temporary, that's all I know. SIL just gave us a climber slide, little tikes coupe car and a bunch of toys - very happy as I want to make up some sort of outdoor play area. And I think that's all our news. Oh, I just had a Magnum Ego for dinner.
