Welcome Charmaine, Aja was born on the same day as my daughter Tori.......yay she has a birthday buddy.

Simone well done on the Tests, how wonderful it must feel to have a pick of things that you can do. Give yourself a great big pat on the back and enjoy your satay beef for dinner you deserve it (and probably a big glass of wine too :P)

Wow Bath how does it feel to know that your first baby is about to graduate Primary school. I keep trying to imagine what Tori is going to be like at that age, it all seems so far away.
IK- I hope that Oscar copes alright with the bottle. I am sure that he will be fine, he sounds like such an easy going baby.

Cee-Cee How exciting for you to hear Ally saying Mum, even if she doesnt know what she is saying yet (although you never know, she might know exactley what she is saying). Tori used to make Mum sounds as well, but it was only when she was upset, so it wasnt so exciting- infact it was quite heartbreaking to hear her upset and saying my name.

We have been travelling nicely, I just got back some proffessional photos that we had taken for the Pride of the Nation book. The photographer did such a good job, he is so pleased with them that he has made a couple of pictures into huge advert signs that he has outside his shop. It was so weird to see Tori's face on a great big poster (but very exciting as well).
I have applied for 6 jobs so far for next year, so now i just have to wait and see if I get to interview on any of them. All of them are part time, either 2 or 3 days a week, I would prefer to only work 2 but hey beggers can be choosers these days and I really need to go back to work parttime next year.
I better go and get some stuff done Tori went down for a nap at 5:30 and is still asleep now (7:15) I am wondering if she has decided that it is time for bed for the night, if so I hope she doesnt want to get up and play at 3am.
