good morning and sorry girls... been hectic here... we're all sick with this chesty sore throat cold thing and life's getting busy... I think the silly season has begun! I've been moving furniture in preparation for the tree going up on the 1st of Dec... now I'm just about to go out to do a bit of pressie shopping.
Welcome Charmaine! I hope you enjoy being part of this lovely group of ladies. Sounds like a great walk yesterday Rory! Oh and congratulations IK on becoming an aunty! Gee there's lots I want to reply to but it'll just have to wait... got to get an early start before the shops get too busy... catch you all later!
What another gorgeous day - would you believe I am heading into the Bot Gardens AGAIN, for the second time in two days? DH and I and Flynn are catching up with mates who have a 1yo girl for a picnic in the gardens - should be a lovely afternoon. IK, this time I will screen up!
Bath, we (or should I say I - I am married to Scrooge McDuck!) am putting up the tree on 1 December too - not long now!!
Ceecee, I decided to put Flynn on solids because there is apparently as great a risk of a kid developing coeliacs disease when gluten is introduced late (ie: after 7 months) as there is when it is introduced early (ie: before 3 months). So given it will probably take about a month to build him up to eating weetbix I figured I would start him on solids at 5 months. I did want to wait till 6 months but once I read some reports on CD I decided to err on the side of caution (neither DH or I have CD, but we are both intolerant of bready-type products). As it turns out, Flynn is "ready" in terms of development - he takes a spoon really well and swallows without a problem, so I have become increasingly comfortable with the decision.
And no - he hasn't slept through the night anymore than before! Little bag of rats is still all over the place with sleeping - one night he slept from 9.30pm till 6am, but last night he fed at 11.30 then woke up screaming at 3am (I settled him without a feed) and was up again at 6am.
Neeny, your MIL sounds great for doing all that housework! But don't feel bad about it - you know what its like when you are at someone else's house - it is always easier to do their housework than your own!
Speaking of housework - my house is still being FlyLady-ed, but some of the novelty has worn off in that I only do the "glamour" jobs regularly, like cleaning the sink and sweeping the floorboards. I keep reading the daily missions and this eeeuw! I don;t want to do that job! Like the other day I was supposed to wipe down the pipe at the back of the toilet. I wasn't gonna get down and do such a dirty job - LOL! So I am back to "pretending" to be a hosuewife!!
And Simone and I didn't spend ANY money at Melb Central yesterday. Ok, she bought a hotdog and me a doughnut - but I don't think snacky-cakes counts!!
