I shouldn't be on BB.. I should be doing housework but it feels never ending at the moment! My house was spotless before this birthday party stuff.. now it looks like a toy shop/bomb site!

Happy Birthday to Bayleigh! Hope you are having a wonderful day!

I better say it now - Happy Birthday for tomorrow Ethan! Jess, I just had a look at your site and Ethan's party pics are so cute! I loved your belly shots too!

Emma - your MCHN must have studied at the same school of tact as mine. Last time I saw her, as I was leaving, she said to Tom "Now be good. You've been a real handful for your mummy and daddy". I was so shocked I didn't say anything, but I got home and said to DH that she must of been looking at the wrong file or something because apart from his reflux (which is all sorted now), he is a really really good baby! Unfortunately, I have to keep seeing her too because I live in quite a small town and the other lady is always booked out wayyyyy in advance (wonder why ). I am also one that says "watch your head' etc, I think it is natural instinct as a mum, isn't it!

Now on the subject of food - I have a very good eater if it is mashed and spoon fed to him - he will eat anything but the idea of feeding himself is a no-go at the moment. If it's not toast, then he screws his nose up and won't have a bar of it. I just keep offering and hopefully one day, he will get the idea! So, at the moment we are doing -
Breakfast - 1 and a half Weetbix and piece of toast
Lunch - Yoghurt and fruit, and a sanwhich
Dinner - Soup, meat and vegies, then fruit or custard.
Snacks are anything bread related - so bread with cream cheese or vegemite, or banana on bread on a good day. He also likes Sao's and cruskits.
He drinks a lot of water during the day but milk is a bit of non event unless you count his morning and bedtime bottles. Actually on that subject, we tried switching to full cow's milk, but he became really unsettled and didn't seem to like it very much, so we went back to half formula/half milk. Has anyone else had that problem?

Has anyone braved the Target toy sale today? I walked past this morning and the line at layby was massive! I have put my foot down with my family and said - no more toys for Tom because he seriously got so much stuff for his birthday - they all didn't just by him one present - it was like 3 or 4 each and I have a big family! So I am going to layby a swing set for xmas and they can all put in money for that. I felt a bit bossy saying it, and DH thought he may be a little young still for one at xmas, but we seriously don't need anymore toys. Everyone seemed to agree with it so that was good. God, I am a real mum now aren't I, talking about Christmas in July, instead of buying all the presents the day before .

Opps someone is awake - I swear he knows when I am on here!
