7th - great news that your back is better. Have fun at your meet up. Quiche and slice sound good!

Nic - they are such lazy buggers aren't they? Marley does the same thing, will stand up on her own for ages then just drop to the floor! I sure she knows its quicker LOL!

Dee - sorry, I forgot to respond to you about the dinner thing! We usually eat early most nights (b/w 5.30-6pm) and I usually give Marley her dinner about 5ish, then when we sit down, I pull her highchair over to the table and give her either a sandwich, some steamed fruit bits (apple or pear), cut up tinned fruit, banana, sultanas, ice cream wafers are a real treat. It just keeps her occupied while we eat and still means she is eating with us. I try to give her what we eat but with her allergies, I usually have to modify it a bit. I still give her extra vegies but I don't mash them anymore, just give them to her in chunks but soft enough that she can eat them IYKWIM? Cooking 2 sep meals gets to be too much work lol! We have always given Chelsea what we were having and she is a great eater, so hopefully we can continue with Marley.
