Hi all

Well its starting to get hotter up here too now although I don't think its more than 32 today! Feel for you guys down Melb way who are sweating it out!

Jess: Hope you're recovering well. Nice to get friends to come and visit when you're not well.

Simone: I started taking the tree down yesterday and just got the bottom half to put away now (still in the lounge room). LOL at your hubby and his dad having it up all year round!

Amanda: Happy birthday to your hubby! Hope he enjoyed his cake - sounds like something you'd get out of some fancy patesserie!

IK: Sounds like you're super organised with baby proofing your place. We've just started. Even though Aleise still slides along her back or belly most of the time she travels quite a distance! We bought a gate barrier for the study/lounge area as we have 2 very steep stairs that lead into the study. I am bidding on Ebay too atm - trying to get a deodourising nappy bucket and it closes 7.30pm (6.30pm Qld time) so hopefully will win that - retails new for $75 and current bid is $32.

Update: Well Aleise seems to be sitting by herself quite well now and I timed it today at 5 mins! I got some photos on the digi camera and will upload later - high time I changed my ticker too! She's also teething and it looks like there could be 3 or 4 coming out at the one time (even though she hasn't got any yet). Matt and I went to the movies Friday night and she cried for 2.1/2 hours and Mum had no idea how to make her stop! I told her she should've rang me (as we left earlier for a cofffee) and I could've let her know about the bonjella. Aleise hates rusks and doesn't like the teething rings much either! Oh well got a good year of this to look forward to I think!
She also said "Mama" (only once) and "Yeah" yesterday. No more F words thank goodness (and yes I have started saying Flat Duck instead! not that I swear much anyway) She will be 7 months tomorrow - gee I can't believe its been that long! Our bubbas are getting so big!

Well can't think of much else to write. Take care all and will check in again soon.
